The Role in One Line
Own hiring and HR operations end-to-end on Zoho — fill roles fast with the right people, onboard them digitally, keep employee data and payroll inputs accurate, and run a fair performance and grievance process.
What You Will Do
1. Talent Acquisition (Zoho Recruit)
- Full-cycle hiring: requisition → JD/KRA approval → posting → screening → interviews → offer → joining
- Manage 15–20 concurrent openings: Field Sales Executives across TN / AP / Karnataka / Maharashtra, telecallers and office staff
- Source via Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed, Apna/WorkIndia, referrals, WhatsApp groups and local networks
- Action every application within 48 hours; keep pipeline and notes updated daily
- Track time-to-fill, offer-to-join and 90-day retention — not just resume counts
2. Onboarding & Documentation (Zoho Sign, Zoho Forms)
- Offer and appointment letters via Zoho Sign — 100% signed digitally before Day 1
- Joining documents only through Zoho Forms / People — never on WhatsApp or personal email
- Day-1 readiness: employee record, system access, induction and reporting-manager briefing
3.
HR Operations (Zoho People, Zoho Payroll)
- 100% accurate employee master data, attendance and leave
- Attendance regularisation closed by the 1st; LOP inputs to Accounts by the 2nd (salary is paid on the 7th)
- Coordinate PF, ESI, PT, gratuity, bonus and TDS / Form-16 with Accounts and the CA as applicable
4. Performance, Policy & Employee Relations
- Set KRAs / KPIs in Zoho People for every employee within 30 days of joining; run quarterly and annual reviews
- Maintain HR policies, handbook and SOPs with 100% acknowledgement
- Grievances acknowledged within 24 hours and closed within 7 working days; manage exits and exit interviews
5. HR MIS, Automation & AI

What You Bring Must-have
