- Ensure alignment between business need and hiring outcome
- 4. Hiring Discipline & Metrics
- - Maintain hiring tracker with defined TAT
- Track offer-to-joining ratio
- Ensure minimal dropouts
- Provide weekly hiring status updates
- What Success Looks Like in this Role
- - Mid and senior positions are closed within defined timelines
- Offer-to-joining ratio improves consistently
- Dropout rates reduce significantly
- Quality of hire strengthens team performance
- Hiring becomes structured, predictable, and measurable

- Structured interviewing and candidate evaluation capability
- Strong negotiation and closure skills
- Ability to assess stability and cultural alignment
