Description

We're looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to join us at a genuinely exciting point: we're scaling Talent Solutions while building the AI-native platform underneath it — the same platform we're betting will be a one-stop hiring marketplace by 2027. If you want to transition into tech and Ai this could be for you…

You'll own sourcing and screening for a portfolio of client accounts — running sharp two-tier sourcing (headhunting + inbound), building talent pipelines straight into our platform, and handing our account managers shortlists so good that clients stop shopping around. Alongside that, you'll build something of your own: a real community of niche DTC and e-commerce talent that becomes a genuine asset for Hayra, not just a pipeline.

This is hands-on, high-ownership recruiting, not admin. You'll headhunt directly from competitors and comparable companies, write job ads people actually want to click, and build a network of candidates who stay warm long after their first conversation with us. Every lesson you learn about sourcing well doesn't just stay with you — it feeds straight into the product, meaning your day-to-day work is literally shaping the marketplace we're building towards. If you've been looking for a way into a tech, product, or AI-scaling business — somewhere you can actually build with tech and AI rather than just talk about it — this is about as close to the ground floor as it gets.

Responsibilities

At the core of this role is community: building and growing Hayra's own niche pool of DTC talent - the people you know personally, source directly, and bring together through events and in-person sessions, not just a database of CVs.

From there, it's running the engine that turns that community into hires:

  • Run two-tier sourcing for every live role - outbound headhunting from competitors and comparable companies, plus inbound via job ads, careers pages, and premium placements.
  • Screen and assess candidates against client-specific scorecards, building shortlists your account manager can take straight to clients.
  • Coordinate interview scheduling with account managers, clients, and candidates.

You're also the storyteller behind each client's roles:

  • Develop best-in-class EVP and employer-brand assets that make our clients' roles impossible to ignore.
  • Write and publish job adverts in each client's own brand and voice.

And you're never sourcing in a silo, you're part of how we win and grow every account:

  • Join your account manager on client calls and strategy sessions, bringing a sourcing lens to the table.
  • Partner with your account manager to build the sourcing strategy for every client — the channels, the pitch, the plan to actually land great talent.

Behind the scenes, you keep the machine honest:

  • Keep candidate records, hiring progress, and pipeline data accurate and current in our platform.
  • Track market rates and salary benchmarks, flagging comp adjustments when a role's struggling to attract candidates.
  • Spot product inefficiencies and workflow gaps from what you see on the ground, and work with our Ops team to build the fix straight into the web app.
  • Help us hit our 42-day time-to-fill target, flagging early when a role's at risk of overrunning.

What Good Looks Like

6 Months: You're not just settling in — you're already proving the model works, in both halves of the job.

  • You're fully ramped across multiple client accounts and comfortable running both sides of our two-tier sourcing model.
  • You've started building real relationships inside a niche DTC community — people who know you, not just a pipeline.
  • You're consistently delivering strong shortlists inside our 42-d
