About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on HR & Talent Acquisition Specialist to support both recruiting and day-to-day people operations at Applix.

This role is broader than recruiting alone.

You will help us find and close strong talent, coordinate interviews and offers, onboard employees, maintain HR records, support payroll and attendance inputs, manage employee documentation, and make sure the basic people operations of a fast-growing company run reliably.

You should be comfortable moving between candidate sourcing, employee coordination, documentation, follow-ups, and operational HR work in the same day.

- Maintain accurate candidate pipelines and interview stages.
- Follow up quickly with candidates and interviewers.
- Collect interview feedback and help drive hiring decisions.
- Prepare and coordinate offer letters.
- Support salary discussions and offer closure.
- Maintain relationships with strong candidates even when there is not an immediate opening.
- Build talent pipelines for recurring and difficult-to-fill roles.

- Maintain ATS and recruiting trackers.
- Track:
- Candidates sourced
- Screens completed
- Interview stages
- Interview feedback
- Offers
- Joining dates
- Dropouts
- Source effectiveness
- Keep job descriptions and job postings current.
- Coordinate referral programs.
- Help improve recruiting processes, templates, candidate communication, and interview scheduling.
- Track recruiting metrics such as time-to-fill, offer acceptance, source quality, and candidate conversion.

Employee Onboarding

- Coordinate documentation before joining.
- Prepare onboarding checklists.
- Ensure offer, employment, identity, payroll, and compliance documents are collected.
- Coordinate first-day setup with IT, managers, and operations.
- Conduct or coordinate HR onboarding.
- Maintain employee records after joining.

HR Operations

- Maintain employee files and HR documentation.
- Prepare employment letters, salary letters,



confirmation letters, relieving letters, and other HR documents.
- Maintain organization and employee information in HR systems.
- Track attendance, leave, holidays, and working schedules.
- Support payroll inputs and monthly payroll coordination.
- Maintain records of employee compensation and changes.
- Coordinate employee reimbursements and benefits-related information where required.
- Support employee exits, final documentation, and offboarding.

- Follow up on missing documents, attendance issues, timesheets, approvals, and HR actions.
- Coordinate between employees and leadership when necessary.
- Help maintain clear communication around policies and company processes.
- Handle employee information professionally and confidentially.

Policies & Compliance

- Help maintain HR policies, employee handbooks, and internal processes.
- Ensure employee documentation is complete and organized.
- Support statutory and employment compliance activities with external consultants where required.
- Maintain records for audits, customer requirements, certifications, and diligence.

- 2–5 years of experience across recruiting, HR operations, or talent acquisition.
- Strong candidate sourcing and screening ability.
- Experience coordinating multiple open positions simultaneously.
- Good understanding of end-to-end recruiting.
- Experience with onboarding and employee documentation.




- Strong organizational and follow-up skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Comfortable speaking with candidates at different levels of seniority.
- Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills.
- Ability to maintain accurate trackers and records.
- Ability to handle confidential employee and compensation information professionally.

Preferred

- Experience recruiting for technology, engineering, AI, data, cloud, or consulting roles.
- Experience hiring across India and/or the U.S.
- Experience using LinkedIn Recruiter and ATS platforms.
- Familiarity with HRMS/payroll systems.
- Experience working in a startup or quick-growing company.
- Familiarity with Indian HR compliance and employment documentation.
- Experience coordinating client-facing or contract staffing positions.

The Person We're Looking For

We want someone who follows through. If a candidate has not responded, you follow up. If an interviewer has not submitted feedback, you chase it. If a new employee is joining Monday, you make sure their documentation and onboarding are ready before Monday. If payroll information is missing, you catch it before payroll is processed.

If an employee document is incomplete, you do not leave it sitting in a folder for three months.

You should be organized, persistent, professional, and comfortable taking ownership without waiting for someone to remind you.

You should also have good judgment about people.

A good recruiter does not simply forward resumes. You should gradually become capable of understanding what makes someone genuinely strong, what signals are superficial, and when a candidate is worth pushing for.

What Success Looks Like

- Open roles have active and well-maintained pipelines.
- Candidates receive quick and professional communication.
- Interviews happen without unnecessary scheduling delays.
- Offers and joining dates are tracked closely.
- New hires have a smooth onboarding experience.
- Employee documentation is complete and organized.
- Payroll and attendance inputs are accurate and submitted on time.
- HR records remain current.
- Leadership has a clear view of recruiting status and upcoming people actions.

Your Mandate

Help us bring great people into the company and make sure the people operations behind them run reliably from candidate outreach through onboarding, employment, and exit.
