Talent Acquisition Specialist — First HR Hire

About Us At Bitscale, we're a tight-knit, ambitious team building the GTM data layer for your CRM — enrichment, data waterfalls across 100+ sources, and live buying signals that make SDRs and growth teams 10x more effective. Over 1,000 B2B GTM teams run on Bitscale, including Delhivery, DevRev, Moglix, Yellow.ai and Schneider. We've spent years at places like JP Morgan, HSBC, Nanonets and CityMall, and now we're building the next big thing from the ground up — with real customers, real data, and real scale. We're one of the fastest-growing startups out of India building for the world. And we're about to double the team. The Role Talent Acquisition Specialist. You own how Bitscale hires. We're bringing on 9 people over the next two quarters — 3 Account Executives, 2 Customer Success Managers, a DevRel, an Associate PM, a Business Ops Analyst and an Engineer. Right now the founders are doing all of that recruiting themselves. It doesn't scale. This is not a coordinator role. There is nobody above you in HR. You are the first dedicated people hire, and you'll build the function from nothing — starting with filling those 9 seats. If you're the kind of recruiter who writes the outreach message yourself instead of pasting a template — keep reading. What You'll Own Filling the pipeline Full-cycle hiring for 9 open roles: source, screen, schedule, coordinate, close Outbound sourcing on LinkedIn, Naukri, Instahyre and communities — including using Bitscale's own product to build and enrich candidate lists Write outreach people actually reply to. Your response rate is a number you own. Set up an ATS and run it properly. No candidate goes dark. Closing Partner with the founders on interview loops and scorecards Own the close. The offer conversation is yours. Building the people function (month 3 onwards) Onboarding: offer letters, documentation, day-one experience Manage our payroll and compliance vendor — you coordinate it, you don't file it by hand HR policies, leave and attendance, employee handbook, POSH compliance Employer branding: how Bitscale shows up to candidates everywhere Who You Are 1-3 years in recruiting — agency, RPO or in-house. Agency background is genuinely welcome; the volume here will feel familiar and the ownership is better. You've closed roles end to end and can tell us the specifics: how many you screened, where they came from, how long it took. You write well. Outreach is most of this job. This is non-negotiable. You source. You don't wait for inbound applications to arrive. You can run 8-9 live pipelines without dropping anyone. You want to become a generalist HR leader, not a career recruiter. Strong signal if you: Have hired GTM roles before — AEs, SDRs, Customer Success Worked at a startup under 100 people Have touched HR ops, payroll or compliance Use AI tools for sourcing and writing, and have opinions about them Location Gurgaon (in-office). We move fast, decisions are made in the room. What's in it for you Own the entire people function of a company about to double — within weeks of joining Direct access to founders. No layers, no bureaucracy. Attractive fixed pay + meaningful ESOPs. We're early — the upside is real. A clear path to HR lead. The next people hires report to you. Real ownership from week one. We're not going to tell you which job board to use. How to Apply We're not looking for someone who applies to 50 jobs. We're looking for someone who reads this and already knows how they'd source our first Account Executive. Show us that.
