Job Description
About The Role
Gushwork is seeking a proactive, execution-driven Talent Acquisition Partner to lead and own the full recruitment lifecycle across the organization. In this hands-on role, you will work closely with executive leadership and hiring managers to define hiring strategies, build high-performing candidate pipelines, evaluate top talent, and close key offers.
Unlike traditional recruitment roles that are restricted to a single hiring silo, this position offers cross-functional breadth across technical, product, and business/GTM roles. As an early member of the talent team, you will leverage cutting-edge AI recruiting tools and recruitment analytics to drive speed, quality, and operational excellence while actively influencing company-wide hiring standards.
What You Will Do
Own end-to-end talent acquisition across all functions, driving candidates from initial outreach through offer rollout and seamless onboarding handoff.
Leverage LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri, specialized job boards, and creative or unconventional sourcing channels to map and engage top-tier passive candidates.
Partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to understand business needs, draft compelling position descriptions, and define targeted sourcing strategies.
Oversee end-to-end interview scheduling, feedback collection, and candidate communication to deliver an outstanding candidate experience.
Lead compensation structuring, offer negotiations, and closing strategies to achieve high offer acceptance rates.
Actively integrate modern AI platforms and workflows into daily recruitment tasks to accelerate sourcing, candidate evaluation, role research, and operational output.
Maintain meticulous pipeline hygiene and real-time updates within the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
Contribute to foundational talent initiatives, including employer branding campaigns and referral program design.
Continuously refine internal hiring frameworks, rubric designs, and interviewing guidelines as Gushwork scales.
What We Are Looking For
3 or more years of core recruitment experience, ideally within fast-growing software, SaaS, or high-tech product companies.
Deep hands-on expertise using LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri, GitHub, and other modern sourcing platforms.
Hands-on experience administering modern Applicant Tracking Systems such as Lever, Greenhouse, or similar systems.
Passionate about adopting AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and specialized recruiting platforms to optimize recruitment workflows and boost hiring efficiency.
Solid proficiency in Google Sheets for pipeline tracking, metrics reporting, and funnel analysis.
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with strong stakeholder management and negotiation capabilities.
High agency, bias for action, and comfort managing high-volume, multi-disciplinary hiring in a dynamic startup setup.
Prior experience hiring across Go-To-Market (GTM) functions such as Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Business Development.
Exposure to building recruitment operations, interview rubrics, or employer branding from early stages.
Why Join Gushwork
Part of an early team at a fast-growing company with high ownership and impact.
Opportunity to work with smart, supportive colleagues in a high-caliber peer group.
Constant exposure to the latest AI innovations and technologies.
Opportunity to influence the direction of product and engineering culture.
Flexible PTO policy and unlimited AI usage.
Company perks including cool swag, a fully stocked pantry, and comprehensive startup benefits.
Artificial Intelligence in Hiring
Gushwork may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist the recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
