2Base Technologies is a custom software development company with over 16 years of delivery experience. We work as an enterprise solutions partner for clients in the United Kingdom, the United States, India, and other markets, building web and mobile applications and end-to-end digital solutions across industries. We are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Executive to join our People & Culture team and take ownership of our end-to-end hiring function. This role is for someone who enjoys finding the right people, building talent pipelines, influencing candidates, and closing positions, not simply forwarding CVs. What You’ll Own

• Own the complete recruitment lifecycle from understanding the requirement to candidate joining and onboarding follow-up.
• Work closely with hiring managers to understand the role, define the right candidate profile, and establish hiring timelines.
• Source candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri, Foundit, Indeed, referrals, networking, and direct outreach.
• Take ownership of active and passive candidate sourcing, especially for difficult-to-fill technology and senior positions.
• Conduct initial screening and evaluate candidates based on skills, experience, motivation, compensation, availability, and cultural fit.
• Manage multiple open positions simultaneously while maintaining clear priorities and timelines.
• Coordinate interviews and ensure a smooth candidate experience throughout the hiring process.
• Own offer discussions, negotiation, and candidate closure while working within approved compensation bands.
• Maintain accurate and timely recruitment data in Zoho Recruit, including candidate stages, feedback, interview status, and closure details.
• Build and maintain strong talent pools for recurring and future hiring requirements.
• Track recruitment performance through metrics such as time-to-hire, source effectiveness, stage conversion, offer acceptance, and joining ratio.
• Provide regular hiring updates and insights to hiring managers and the People & Culture leadership.
• Stay updated on talent-market trends, salary benchmarks, competitor hiring, and availability of key technology skills.
• Explore and implement new sourcing methods, recruitment technology, and AI-assisted hiring tools that improve speed and quality. Requirements What We’re Looking For
• 3–6 years of hands-on experience in IT recruitment, preferably in a software services or product company.
• Proven experience hiring for technical and non-technical positions, particularly engineering and technology roles.
• Strong hands-on sourcing skills across LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri, Foundit, Indeed, Boolean search, X-ray search, referrals, and direct sourcing.
• Ability to understand technical job requirements and assess whether a candidate’s experience genuinely matches the role.
• Strong candidate engagement and negotiation skills, particularly during offer and closure stages.
• Experience managing multiple positions and competing hiring priorities independently.
• Hands-on experience with an ATS or Recruitment Management System; experience with Zoho Recruit is an advantage.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills with the confidence to interact with candidates at all levels.
• Strong ownership, follow-through, and accountability. You should be comfortable taking responsibility for a role from requirement to joining.
• Data-driven approach to recruitment, with the ability to identify what is working and what needs to change.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change, and hiring requirements can be urgent.
• Based in Kochi or willing to relocate to Kochi.
• Willing to work on-site at our Infopark office, five days a week.
• Experience building long-term talent pools or candidate communities.
• Experience hiring for Tech and non-Technical positions.
• Experience conducting walk-in drives, campus hiring, or large-scale recruitment campaigns.
• Experience creating or improving recruitment processes, SOPs, or hiring playbooks.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools to improve sourcing, screening, or recruitment productivity. Why This Role at 2Base?
