Sr. Associate - Talent Acquisition

Role Sr. Associate - Talent Acquisition

Type Full-Time

Location Worli, Mumbai (Hybrid)

THE KIND OF WORK YOU'LL SHAPE

Getting hiring right at a culture-first agency isn't straightforward. The roles are nuanced, the talent is opinionated, and the bar is high. This role is for someone who sees talent acquisition as one of the most strategic things an agency can get right.

THE ROLE

You'll own recruitment across Kulfi. Creatives, strategists, technologists, producers. Full-time and freelance. You'll work closely with hiring managers, find people who raise the bar instead of just filling a seat, and help shape how Kulfi shows up as a place people genuinely want to work.

WHAT YOU'LL DRIVE

Run end-to-end recruitment across roles and levels, with a strong focus on high talent density

Build talent pipelines through networking and proactively - identifying emerging, high potential talent

Partner with hiring managers to stay ahead of hiring needs, not just react when roles open up

Continuously research and explore- AI tools/workflows to make hiring & people processes more efficient

Own the candidate experience end-to-end, making each interaction feel thoughtful, personal and well considered

Lead employer branding initiatives that position Kulfi as a place people genuinely want to be a part of, not just another opportunity

Build stronger relationships with colleges, platforms, and communities to continuously expand and strengthen the talent network

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

This is not a coordinator role. You'll own the function and have real influence over who Kulfi becomes as a company

Employer branding and strategic thinking are part of the job from day one, not something you grow into later

WHO YOU ARE

6 months to 2 years of experience in talent acquisition, HR, or any role that has given you a strong understanding of what great hiring looks like

You understand the advertising and creative industry. What different roles actually do, and what makes someone genuinely great at them

You communicate well, know how to hold conversations, and can keep people engaged and interested

Structured and process-oriented. You like building systems, tracking things closely, managing multiple open roles without letting things slip through the cracks

BEFORE YOU APPLY

This probably isn't the right fit if you want a fully defined role with a playbook already in place. We're building it together, and that requires someone who is energised by that, not unsettled.

It's a great fit if:

You see hiring as a creative and strategic problem, not just a process to run
