Role Overview

Tallento.ai is hiring a Recruitment Team Lead who can own both individual closures and team performance. This role is for a hands-on recruitment leader who can translate hiring requirements into daily execution, coach recruiters, maintain ATS discipline, remove bottlenecks, and deliver predictable joinings within defined turnaround times. This is not a coordination-only role.

The Team

Lead will be accountable for sourcing quality, recruiter productivity, interview conversion, candidate follow-up, offer-to-joining conversion, reporting accuracy, and overall team closures.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead day-to-day recruitment execution for assigned clients, roles and hiring pods.
- Translate open positions into recruiter-wise priorities, daily targets and closure plans.
- Handle end-to-end recruitment personally for critical, senior or difficult positions.
- Review sourcing quality, screening notes and candidate relevance before client submission.
- Track calls, meaningful conversations, profiles sourced, screened profiles, submissions, interviews, selections, offers and joinings.
- Ensure every candidate movement is updated correctly in the ATS/CRM with notes, remarks and next actions.
- Conduct daily huddles, workload allocation, pipeline reviews and end-of-day performance checks.
- Coach recruiters on sourcing strategy, screening, objection handling, salary discussions and candidate conversion.
- Identify weak funnels early — poor sourcing, low interview attendance, low selection ratio, offer dropouts or delayed follow-ups — and correct them quickly.
- Coordinate closely with operations, client relationship and hiring managers to keep requirements moving.



Maintain strong candidate engagement from first call through joining to reduce no-shows, backouts and offer drops.
- Build reusable talent pipelines for recurring education, EdTech, school, coaching, sales and operations requirements.
- Escalate genuine client-side or candidate-side blockers with explicit data instead of allowing positions to remain stagnant.
- Maintain professional candidate experience while keeping a strong closure-focused approach. Leadership & Team Management
- Set clear expectations for each recruiter and monitor performance against daily, weekly and monthly targets.
- Conduct recruiter call reviews, profile-quality checks and conversion analysis.
- Support underperforming team members with specific action plans and closely track improvement. Recognise high performers and replicate their sourcing and conversion practices across the team.
- Ensure discipline around attendance, reporting, follow-ups, ATS updates and client commitments. Create a culture where recruiters own outcomes rather than only activity counts. Performance Metrics / KPIs
- Team and individual successful joinings.
- Quality profiles submitted per active requirement.
- Submission-to-interview and interview-to-selection conversion.
- Offer-to-joining conversion and candidate dropout rate.
- Recruitment turnaround time (TAT) and ageing of open positions.




- Recruiter productivity: calls, meaningful conversations, screened profiles and active pipelines.  ATS/CRM accuracy, follow-up hygiene and reporting discipline.
- Client requirement coverage and closure predictability.

Required Skills & Experience

- 4–7 years of hands-on recruitment experience with at least some experience guiding or leading recruiters. Strong sourcing ability across job portals, databases, LinkedIn, referrals, social media, WhatsApp and direct calling.
- Strong candidate screening, negotiation and follow-up skills.
- Ability to manage multiple requirements and priorities without losing execution control.
- Strong understanding of recruitment funnels and conversion metrics.
- Comfortable working in a target-driven, high-accountability environment.
- Good command over Excel / Google Sheets and ATS / CRM systems.
- Strong communication, problem-solving, ownership and people-management skills.

Preferred Background

- Education / EdTech recruitment.
- IIT-JEE / NEET coaching industry hiring.
- Schools / colleges / academic hiring.
- Recruitment consultancy, RPO or high-volume recruitment.
- Sales, telesales or operations hiring in addition to academic hiring.

Who Should Apply?

- Recruiters who have already moved beyond individual sourcing and can manage team output.
- People who understand that a Team Lead is accountable for closures, not only distributing requirements. Candidates comfortable taking ownership of difficult positions and stepping into execution when the team is stuck.
- Leaders who can use data, daily reviews and coaching to improve recruiter performance.
