Recruitment Lead

Recruitment Lead

Sourcebae | Indore (Onsite) | 5+ Years Experience

About the Role

This isn't a "senior recruiter" role with a fancy title. We're looking for a Recruitment Lead who thinks like a business owner - someone who understands funnels, owns client relationships, drives account growth, and leads a team without needing direction. You don't just fill roles. You build systems, hit TATs, and move the business forward.

What You'll Do

• Business & Funnel Ownership - Understand the recruitment business inside out - from requirement intake to closure. Own the funnel, spot bottlenecks, and fix them before they become problems.
• Client Relationship Building - Be the face of delivery for key accounts. Build trust, manage expectations, and turn one-time clients into long-term partners.
• Account Growth - Don't just service accounts - grow them. Identify upsell opportunities, expand mandates, and increase wallet share from existing clients.
• TAT Management - Own turnaround times religiously. Set benchmarks for the team, track submissions and closures, and ensure SLAs are never missed.
• Team Management - Lead, mentor, and hold your team accountable. Assign work, review quality, course-correct in real time, and build a team that performs without hand-holding.
• Decision Making - You'll be expected to make calls - on priorities, on candidates, on strategy. No waiting for approvals on things you should already know the answer to.
• Sourcing & Guidance - You're still sharp enough to source candidates from any platform yourself - LinkedIn, job boards, GitHub, communities - and guide your team to do the same with precision.
• Organisation Growth Mindset - You see beyond daily deliverables. You understand how recruitment impacts company revenue, reputation, and scale - and you act accordingly.

What We're Looking For

6+ years of experience in talent acquisition / recruitment, with at least 2+ years in a lead or managerial capacity

Strong understanding of recruitment funnels, metrics, and delivery operations

Proven track record in client relationship management and account growth

Ability to maintain and improve TAT across multiple mandates simultaneously

Hands-on sourcing skills - you can source from multiple platforms and teach your team to do the same

Team management experience - you've built, led, and scaled recruitment teams

Decision-maker mindset - no spoon-feeding, no escalating what you can solve

Deep understanding of how recruitment drives organisational growth and revenue

Tech hiring experience is strongly preferred

Excellent communication - with clients, candidates, and internal stakeholders

Who You Are

You're not looking for a job - you're looking for ownership. You walk into a room, assess what's broken, and fix it. You don't need a playbook - you write one. Your team respects you because you lead from the front, and your clients trust you because you deliver. You think business first, recruitment second.

Why Sourcebae?

This is a leadership role with real impact. No layers of bureaucracy. You'll directly influence how fast we grow, how well we deliver, and how strong our team becomes. If you want a seat at the table - this is it.
