About VelocitAI
VelocitAI is an AI-centric technology products and services company helping businesses solve real-world challenges through AI, data, digital engineering, cloud, DevOps, application development, and technology consulting.
As we scale, we are looking for a hands-on Talent Acquisition Manager who can build and drive our hiring engine.
This is not a role for someone who only manages dashboards, vendors, and recruiters.
We are looking for someone who can lead a small TA team and still personally jump into LinkedIn, Naukri, referrals, candidate outreach, interviews, negotiations, and closures whenever a critical position needs to be filled.
What You’ll Own
- Own end-to-end talent acquisition across VelocitAI.
- Lead hiring across technology, AI/data, cloud, DevOps, delivery, sales, presales, and corporate functions.
- Work directly with business leaders to understand hiring priorities and translate them into sourcing plans.
- Personally source and close difficult and business-critical positions.
- Manage and improve the productivity of the internal recruiting team.
- Build strong pipelines through LinkedIn, Naukri, referrals, networking, targeted headhunting, and other sourcing channels.
- Reduce dependency on recruitment agencies by strengthening direct sourcing.
- Track ageing positions and aggressively drive them toward closure.
- Drive candidate engagement from first conversation through offer and joining.
- Improve offer-to-join ratios and proactively manage offer-drop risks.
- Build target-company maps for niche and leadership positions.
- Develop referral and employer-branding initiatives.
- Manage recruitment partners where they genuinely add value.
- Build simple, useful TA metrics around hiring TAT, ageing, source effectiveness, recruiter productivity, offer acceptance, and joining ratios.
Who We’re Looking For
You should have:
- 7–10 years of talent acquisition experience.
- Strong experience hiring for technology / IT services / digital / SaaS organizations.
- Experience managing recruiters while continuing to recruit hands-on yourself.
- Strong sourcing capability across LinkedIn, Naukri/Resdex, referrals, Boolean search, and direct headhunting.
- Experience hiring software engineering, AI/data, cloud, DevOps, QA, project/program management, and related technology roles.
- Experience hiring sales, business development, presales, or other business roles.
- Strong stakeholder-management skills and the confidence to challenge unrealistic requirements when required.
- Demonstrated ability to work on multiple urgent requirements simultaneously.
- Strong candidate-closing and negotiation skills.
- High ownership and urgency.
You’ll Do Well at VelocitAI If You
- See an ageing position and feel compelled to solve it.
- Are comfortable calling candidates directly rather than waiting for applications.
- Can build a target-company list and start headhunting immediately.
- Know how to get hiring managers to make decisions.
- Follow candidates closely between offer and joining.
- Are comfortable working with founders and senior business leaders.
- Can switch from strategy to execution without hesitation.
- Enjoy building processes rather than inheriting them.
- Measure yourself by quality hires and closures, not recruiter activity.
What Success Could Look Like
In your first few months, we would expect you to:
- Build visibility across every open position and its hiring status.
- Establish clear priorities with business leaders.
- Improve direct-sourcing contribution.
- Reduce ageing of critical positions.
- Build stronger pipelines for recurring technology and sales roles.
- Improve recruiter productivity and accountability.
- Strengthen VelocitAI’s referral and candidate-engagement programs.
- Create a scalable but lightweight TA operating model.
Why VelocitAI
This is an opportunity to build, not just operate.
You will work closely with leadership and have significant ownership over how VelocitAI attracts and hires talent as the company scales.
If you enjoy operating in an entrepreneurial environment, like difficult hiring problems, and believe a TA leader should still know how to find and close candidates personally, we’d like to speak with you.
