Job Description
Financial Services NBFC Fintech
11-50 employees
About Apollo Finvest
We are a publicly listed tech-first NBFC, conceptualized like AWS but built specifically for lending infrastructure. Armed with advanced APIs and capital, we partner with top fintech companies to power digital loans across India. Currently, we are scaling Apollo lending business as well as Apollo Cash, our proprietary digital personal loan app. As Apollo Cash expands, our team needs to scale rapidly across engineering, product, business, and operations.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Talent Acquisition Associate who has spent their career inside startups and technology companies, building high-performing teams from the ground up. This role is heavily focused on engineering, product, and data hiring. It requires a recruitment professional who has independently driven hiring in fast-paced environments where speed, ownership, and resourcefulness matter. This is not a traditional HR coordination role, nor is it a role suited for external agency recruiters. It is a high-ownership recruiting position where you will work closely with founders and hiring managers to build a scalable, AI-native hiring engine as Apollo Cash grows.
Key Responsibilities and What You Will Do
Own end-to-end recruitment across multiple roles, with a primary focus on tech disciplines including engineering, product, and data hiring.
Partner directly with founders and hiring managers to define overall talent acquisition strategies, bring role clarity, and build ideal candidate profiles.
Build strong candidate pipelines for critical, niche, and hard-to-fill technical roles as Apollo Cash scales.
Source top-tier talent using platforms like LinkedIn, employee referrals, startup communities, tech networks, and modern AI-driven sourcing tools.
Drive the entire recruitment lifecycle from sourcing and screening to interviews, offer rollout, negotiations, and successful candidate closures.
Act as the primary hiring owner for Apollo Cash as cross-functional teams expand across engineering, product management, business development, and operations.
Design and implement structured hiring processes, recruitment playbooks, and outbound sourcing strategies from scratch rather than relying on external agencies or inbound applications.
Ensure a seamless, transparent, fast, and consistent candidate experience across all touchpoints at scale.
Build and optimize hiring systems, pipeline trackers, recruitment dashboards, and weekly reporting metrics.
Leverage automation and AI tools to optimize candidate sourcing, resume screening, interview scheduling, and candidate follow-ups.
Track and optimize essential hiring metrics such as turnaround time (TAT), funnel conversion rates, offer acceptance ratio, and overall quality of hire.
What You Will Need
2 to 4 years of proven talent acquisition experience exclusively within startups, fintech companies, or high-growth technology organizations.
Demonstrated hands-on experience in tech recruitment, which is non-negotiable for this role.
Proven track record of independently hiring for backend, frontend, full-stack, mobile, data engineering, and product roles.
Demonstrated experience managing the complete hiring lifecycle from candidate identification and screening to stakeholder alignment, offer negotiation, and joining confirmation.
Superior sourcing capabilities beyond standard job boards, utilizing LinkedIn, developer networks, referrals, community groups, and founder connections.
Comfort and agility working within lean, fast-paced setups with aggressive talent acquisition goals.
Hands-on familiarity experimenting with AI tools, workflow automation, modern candidate sourcing applications, and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
Strong capability to evaluate candidate fitment for startup culture, high ownership, problem-solving mindset, and execution excellence.
Clear, concise communication along with outstanding executive stakeholder management capabilities.
Ability to thrive in an autonomous, high-accountability, founder-led environment.
Preferred Qualifications and Bonus Points
Prior recruitment experience within consumer fintech, digital lending, or NBFC startups.
Hands-on experience architecting structured hiring processes and playbooks from scratch.
Strong domain knowledge of technology stacks and engineering roles such as backend, frontend, full-stack, mobile engineering, data science, machine learning, and DevOps.
Practical exposure to integrating AI-powered sourcing, automated resume screening, and conversational recruiting workflows.
What Success Looks Like
Apollo Cash hiring scales seamlessly across engineering, product, and operational functions to support aggressive business milestones.
Robust candidate pipelines are consistently maintained for business-critical technical roles.
Hiring operations become faster, data-driven, and less manual through systematic automation and modern tooling.
Consistently onboarding high-caliber professionals who demonstrate ownership, cultural alignment, and strong execution skills.
Evolving into a trusted hiring partner and talent advisor for founders and key organizational leaders.
Why Join Apollo Finvest
Work directly with company founders Mikhil Innani (former co-founder of PharmEasy and ex-Product Head at Hotstar) and Diksha Nangia (former investment banker and CFA Charterholder).
Take full ownership of talent strategy for a rapidly scaling fintech and directly influence the company culture and team composition.
Experience the best of both worlds with the speed and agility of an early-stage startup combined with the regulatory governance and stability of a publicly listed organization.
Enjoy high decision-making autonomy, clear avenues for career acceleration, and meaningful direct business impact.
