Designation: Associate - Talent Growth

Let’s start with what we are not looking for

"Nobody is ordinary! It is just how you explore your talents!"

Role: As a Talent Growth Associate – Campus, you are the primary hunter for early-career technical talent that powers Searce globally. You are not a high-volume, transactional "placement coordinator" or traditional campus administrator; you are a Tech Talent Consultant & Campus Brand Evangelist. You will tap into India’s high-density tech hubs (IITs, NITs, IIITs, BITS, top regional colleges) and strategic global university networks (APAC, Americas, EMEA) to spot high-potential "Solvers" built in the HAPPIER mold before anyone else does.

Your goal is to engineer high-velocity campus drives, hackathons, and early-talent conversion pipelines that scale our global business units.

Major Roles & Responsibilities

1. Global Precision Campus Sourcing & Brand Evangelism (Excellence)

- Tier-1 University Engagement: Own end-to-end university hiring programs across premier technical institutions in India and strategic global university networks (APAC, Americas, EMEA).
- Early-Talent Niche Spotting: Identify exceptional early-career talent specializing in Cloud Native Engineering, Applied AI/ML, Data Engineering, and Full-Stack Development.
- Brand Evangelism: Represent Searce’s culture code globally. Pitch Searce’s value proposition differently to an ambitious IIT/NIT graduate versus an international university candidate in Singapore, London, or San Francisco.
- Deep Tech Literacy: Hold engaging, high-level technical conversations with student leads, coding clubs, and candidates about modern tech stacks—from RAG pipelines and Cloud Architecture (AWS/GCP) to DevOps and open-source contributions.

2. EVLOS-Based Early-Talent Evaluation (Value)

- The HAPPIER Screen: Conduct cultural alignment and potential vetting. Act as the primary global "front door" to Searce, ensuring every fresh graduate brings humility, adaptability, passion, and an innovative spirit.
- Ownership & Aptitude Check:



Evaluate candidates on their EVLOS mindset. Look beyond grades and degrees to identify student projects, open-source commits, hackathon wins, or side hustles that demonstrate real Leverage and Ownership.
- Holistic Assessment: Identify "scientists who think like engineers" and young builders who act like future global strategists.

3. Campus Intelligence & Sourcing Automation (Leverage)

- Campus Mapping & Relationship Loops: Build and maintain deep relationships with Placement Offices, Deans of Student Affairs, Student Tech Clubs, and Coding Societies across top campuses globally.
- Event Innovation: Conceptualize and host high-impact global hackathons, coding challenges, tech talks, and "Searce Days" on campus to build top-of-mind recall.
- Sourcing & Process Automation: Leverage AI-native recruitment platforms, automated assessment tools, and modern ATS workflows to streamline high-volume global screening across time zones without sacrificing candidate experience.

4. Stakeholder & Hiring Partnering (Ownership)

- Consultative Hiring: Act as a partner to Global Business Unit Leaders, VPs, and Engineering Leads to forecast early-career talent demand and design futuristic internship-to-FTE conversion models.
- Candidate Experience: Own the complete "Campus Candidate-to-Recent-Joiner" bridge. Ensure a frictionless, transparent, and memorable onboarding experience from campus offer rollout to Day 1.

Education & Experience

Is Education overrated? Yes. We believe so. But there is no way to locate you otherwise! So we look for:

1. Education: MBA/PGDM in HR from a premium university preferred.
2. Experience: 1–4 years of experience in Talent Acquisition,



with a strong focus on Campus Hiring, Early Talent Programs, or Tech Graduate Recruitment across India and global institutions.
3. Technical Familiarity: Broad comfort with emerging tech stacks—AWS, Google Cloud, Databricks, Python, PySpark, Full-Stack frameworks, and Generative AI concepts (RAG pipelines, LLMs).
4. The Network: Established connections with placement cells, student committees, and tech clubs across top-tier colleges globally.
5. Mindset: "Always in Beta"—constantly experimenting with new event formats, global campus engagement models, and tech assessment methods.

Key Performance Indicators (Success Metrics)

- Talent Density: % of campus hires achieving "High Performance" ratings in their first 6–12 months.
- Offer-to-Join Ratio: >85%+ acceptance and conversion rate for global campus offers.
- Time-to-Value: Seamless onboarding and faster time-to-productivity for campus cohorts.
- The HAPPIER Score: Qualitative feedback from hiring managers, candidates, and placement offices on the "Searce experience."
