About Digital Divide Data (DDD)

Digital Divide Data is a global social enterprise delivering end-to-end AI and ML operations data annotation, labeling, supervised fine-tuning and model evaluation — for some of the world's most advanced AI systems, alongside a long-standing Digitization practice. We operate delivery centres in the United States, India, Kenya, Cambodia and Laos. Our Dehradun delivery centre is scaling rapidly, and this role sits at the centre of that growth.

About the Role

We are looking for a Recruiter with 3+ years of hands-on experience in lateral and niche hiring to own end-to-end recruitment for our Dehradun centre. This is a delivery-focused, individual contributor role for someone who sources actively rather than waiting on job-board responses, and who can close hard-to-fill roles against tight ramp timelines.

Key Responsibilities

- Own the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle — requisition intake, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, selection, offer negotiation and closure
- Drive lateral hiring across operations, IT, HR, finance and support functions, from associate to senior manager levels
- Handle niche and hard-to-fill mandates using proactive sourcing — Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, headhunting, referrals, professional communities and mapped competitor talent
- Build and maintain a live talent pipeline and market map for critical and repeat roles
- Partner with hiring managers on role clarity, evaluation criteria and interview structure, and hold them to agreed turnaround times
- Manage high-volume entry-level hiring drives in coordination with the HR team, including campus and walk-in drives where required
- Negotiate compensation in line with internal bands and market benchmarks, and manage offer-to-join engagement to minimise dropouts
- Maintain accurate recruitment data and publish weekly MIS on pipeline,



time-to-fill, source mix, offer acceptance and joining ratios
- Manage sourcing channels and recruitment vendors, tracking cost and quality per hire
- Ensure a professional, timely and consistent candidate experience, and support documentation and background verification handover to HR Operations

Required Qualifications

- 3+ years of end-to-end recruitment experience, with a demonstrable track record in lateral and niche hiring
- Strong active sourcing skills — Boolean search strings, LinkedIn Recruiter, Naukri Resdex, headhunting and referral generation
- Experience hiring across multiple functions and seniority levels, not just one skill family
- Confident handling salary discussions, counter-offer situations and offer-stage candidate management
- Solid stakeholder management and the ability to push back constructively on hiring managers
- Working knowledge of ATS / recruitment trackers and comfort with recruitment reporting in Excel
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Based in Dehradun or willing to relocate — this is an onsite role

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience recruiting for BPO, KPO, ITES, AI/ML data operations or technology services
- Exposure to both lateral and volume hiring within the same role
- MBA/PGDM in Human Resources
- Experience building a hiring function at a new or scaling delivery centre

What You'll Gain

- Ownership of hiring for a fast-scaling delivery centre, with direct visibility to leadership
- Exposure to a global, mission-driven organisation working at the frontier of AI data services
- The chance to build recruitment processes rather than inherit them
