Talent Acquisition Lead

About the Role

SeamlessHR is a leading software company focused on equipping businesses and employees in emerging markets to become more productive and successful through well-designed, people-focused, world-class technology solutions. We depend on the sheer brilliance and amazing skills of our product managers, designers, developers, and business executives. As our Talent Acquisition Lead, you will build and run a disciplined, market-informed hiring engine capable of delivering critical talent across multiple functions and geographies.

• Own the hiring strategy and translate approved workforce plans into prioritised recruitment roadmaps by role, function, market, and business urgency.
• Personally lead senior, specialist, and business-critical searches where talent scarcity, leadership impact, or confidentiality requires experienced recruitment judgement.
• Challenge and refine role requirements, success profiles, assessment approaches, and market expectations with leaders before recruitment activity begins.
• Manage demand, prioritisation, recruiter capacity, and hiring timelines across simultaneous requisitions, escalating trade-offs where business demand exceeds available capacity.
• Build proactive pipelines and sourcing strategies for recurring, scarce, and strategically important talent rather than relying only on reactive vacancy advertising.
• Set interview and assessment standards, improve interviewer discipline, and ensure hiring decisions are evidence-based, consistent, and defensible.
• Own the talent-facing employer proposition and candidate experience in partnership with relevant internal teams to strengthen attraction and conversion.
• Track time-to-fill, funnel health, source effectiveness, offer acceptance, hiring quality, and ageing roles to diagnose bottlenecks and improve hiring outcomes.

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Management, or a related discipline.
• 6+ years of progressive experience in Talent Acquisition, with demonstrated experience leading or supervising recruiters.
• Proven track record of delivering end-to-end recruitment across technical, commercial, and corporate functions.
• Experience in technology, SaaS, fintech, or other fast-paced, growth-oriented environments.
• Strong sourcing, headhunting, talent mapping, and pipeline development capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to manage hiring managers, influence stakeholders, and prioritise competing recruitment demands.
• Proficiency in ATS platforms, HRIS tools, recruitment analytics, and digital sourcing technologies.
• Good knowledge of employment regulations, recruitment best practices, and fair hiring principles.

• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
• Comprehensive health insurance coverage.
• Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development in a fast-paced tech environment.
• Collaborative, dynamic, and inclusive workplace culture.
