Campus Recruiter

Designation: Associate - Talent Growth

Let’s start with what we are not looking for

"Nobody is ordinary! It is just how you explore your talents!"

Role: As a Talent Growth Associate – Campus, you are the primary hunter for early-career technical talent that powers Searce globally. You are not a high-volume, transactional "placement coordinator" or traditional campus administrator; you are a Tech Talent Consultant & Campus Brand Evangelist . You will tap into India’s high-density tech hubs (IITs, NITs, IIITs, BITS, top regional colleges) and strategic global university networks (APAC, Americas, EMEA) to spot high-potential "Solvers" built in the HAPPIER mold before anyone else does. Your goal is to engineer high-velocity campus drives, hackathons, and early-talent conversion pipelines that scale our global business units.

Major Roles & Responsibilities

1. Global Precision Campus Sourcing & Brand Evangelism (Excellence)

• Tier-1 University Engagement: Own end-to-end university hiring programs across premier technical institutions in India and strategic global university networks (APAC, Americas, EMEA).
• Early-Talent Niche Spotting: Identify exceptional early-career talent specializing in Cloud Native Engineering, Applied AI/ML, Data Engineering, and Full-Stack Development.
• Brand Evangelism: Represent Searce’s culture code globally. Pitch Searce’s value proposition differently to an ambitious IIT/NIT graduate versus an international university candidate in Singapore, London, or San Francisco.
• Deep Tech Literacy: Hold engaging, high-level technical conversations with student leads, coding clubs, and candidates about modern tech stacks—from RAG pipelines and Cloud Architecture (AWS/GCP) to DevOps and open-source contributions.

2. EVLOS-Based Early-Talent Evaluation (Value)

• The HAPPIER Screen: Conduct cultural alignment and potential vetting. Act as the primary global "front door" to Searce, ensuring every fresh graduate brings humility, adaptability, passion, and an innovative spirit.
• Ownership & Aptitude Check: Evaluate candidates on their EVLOS mindset. Look beyond grades and degrees to identify student projects, open-source commits, hackathon wins, or side hustles that demonstrate real Leverage and Ownership.
• Holistic Assessment: Identify "scientists who think like engineers" and young builders who act like future global strategists.

3. Campus Intelligence & Sourcing Automation (Leverage)

• Campus Mapping & Relationship Loops: Build and maintain deep relationships with Placement Offices, Deans of Student Affairs, Student Tech Clubs, and Coding Societies across top campuses globally.
• Event Innovation: Conceptualize and host high-impact global hackathons, coding challenges, tech talks, and "Searce Days" on campus to build top-of-mind recall.
• Sourcing & Process Automation: Leverage AI-native recruitment platforms, automated assessment tools, and modern ATS workflows to streamline high-volume global screening across time zones without sacrificing candidate experience.

4. Stakeholder & Hiring Partnering (Ownership)

• Consultative Hiring: Act as a partner to Global Business Unit Leaders, VPs, and Engineering Leads to forecast early-career talent demand and design futuristic internship-to-FTE conversion models.
• Candidate Experience: Own the complete "Campus Candidate-to-New-Joiner" bridge. Ensure a frictionless, transparent, and memorable onboarding experience from campus offer rollout to Day 1.

Education & Experience

Is Education overrated? Yes. We believe so. But there is no way to locate you otherwise! So we look for:

1. Education: MBA/PGDM in HR from a premium university preferred.
2. Experience: 1–4 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, with a strong focus on Campus Hiring, Early Talent Programs, or Tech Graduate Recruitment across India and global institutions.
3. Technical Familiarity: Broad comfort with emerging tech stacks—AWS, Google Cloud, Databricks, Python, PySpark, Full-Stack frameworks, and Generative AI concepts (RAG pipelines, LLMs).
4. The Network: Established connections with placement cells, student committees, and tech clubs across top-tier colleges globally.
5. Mindset: "Always in Beta"—constantly experimenting with new event formats, global campus engagement models, and tech assessment methods.

Key Performance Indicators (Success Metrics)

• Talent Density: % of campus hires achieving "High Performance" ratings in their first 6–12 months.
• Offer-to-Join Ratio:

  85%+ acceptance and conversion rate for global campus offers.

• Time-to-Value: Seamless onboarding and faster time-to-productivity for campus cohorts.
• The HAPPIER Score: Qualitative feedback from hiring managers, candidates, and placement offices on the "Searce experience."

Unlike standard campus recruitment roles that focus purely on logistics and headcount gathering, this position gives you Global Reach . You are as likely to be hiring an early-career AI Engineer from a top institute in India as you are launching a global hackathon in Singapore or the US. You are at the core of Searce’s futurification engine.
