Talent Acquisition Lead

About Us We are India’s first 60-minute fashion delivery platform, bringing curated, trend-forward clothing and accessories to consumers within an hour across Bengaluru. We are building India’s premium quick-commerce destination for fashion—where trend, speed, and curation come together for the modern, style-conscious consumer. Backed by a recent $10M Series A funding round led by top-tier global venture capital firms, we are one of the fastest-funded fashion-tech startups in India. We are aggressively scaling our core teams across tech, product, design, merchandising, category management, and operations, and we are looking for a relentless TA Lead to drive hyper-growth hiring. The Role As our Talent Acquisition Lead, you will take complete ownership of our end-to-end talent engine. You will partner directly with the Founders, Business Heads, and Hiring Managers to build and execute high-velocity hiring roadmaps. This is not an administrative HR role—it is a fast-paced, high-ownership mandate for a hands-on recruiting leader who thrives in early-stage, 0-to-1 environments, loves headhunting exceptional talent, and knows how to close top-tier candidates fast. Key Responsibilities End-to-End Ownership: Own the entire recruitment lifecycle across non-tech and tech verticals—including Fashion Design, Merchandising, E-Commerce/Shopify Operations, Product, Marketing, and Field Ops. Proactive Sourcing & Headhunting: Leverage non-traditional sourcing channels, deep Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Behance/Dribbble, and talent networks to build strong active and passive candidate pipelines. Stakeholder Partnership: Work closely with Founders and Vertical Heads to understand team capacity plans, craft role profiles, and set clear scorecard-based evaluation frameworks. Candidate Experience: Ensure a transparent, seamless, and high-touch candidate journey from initial outreach to offer negotiation and onboarding. Data-Driven Recruiting: Track, analyze, and optimize core TA metrics—including Time-to-Hire, Cost-per-Hire, Sourcing Channel ROI, Offer Acceptance Rates, and Pipeline Velocity. Employer Branding: Help establish our company as the premier employer brand in the quick-commerce and fashion-tech space through engaging talent campaigns and campus/industry outreach. What We Are Looking For Experience: 4 to 8 years of core talent acquisition experience, with a heavy emphasis on early-stage, high-growth startup environments (Series A/B preferred). Multi-Discipline Hiring: Proven success hiring across cross-functional domains (Retail/Fashion/Category, Creative, Operations, and Core Tech). Headhunting Prowess: Strong outbound sourcing DNA; someone who relies on proactive outreach and market mapping rather than just waiting for inbound applications. Speed & Agility: Demonstrated capability of closing high-priority positions within aggressive turnaround times without compromising on talent quality. Negotiation & Closing: Excellent interpersonal communication and negotiation skills with a proven track record of converting passive talent into enthusiastic hires. Availability: Immediate joiners or candidates with a notice period of 15 days or less. Why Join Us? Hyper-Growth Phase: Be at the center of building the foundational team for India’s fastest-growing fashion-tech platform. High Visibility: Direct collaboration with the Founding Team and functional leaders. Compensation: Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and wealth creation opportunities via ESOPs. Culture: High ownership, fast-paced execution, and a flat hierarchy where great work is recognized immediately.
