We work closely with customers to deliver tailored bearing solutions, backed by a growing field sales team across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. The Role: HR Executive – Zoho HR, Talent Acquisition & AI Build HR. Automate HR. Hire great people. Grow with JNB Bearings. ? Chennai (Office-based) | ? 2–5 years | ? Human Resources | ? Reports to the Directors | ? Negotiable, based on experience ⚠️ Before you apply: Have you worked hands-on with Zoho Recruit and Zoho People? Mention the specific modules you have used and for how long. Applications without this will not be shortlisted. Why This Role Is Different We are building a technology-driven HR function on the Zoho ecosystem: Recruit, People, Payroll and Sign. Some of it is already running; you will help us finish building the rest. We need someone who owns these systems (configuring workflows, closing data gaps, fixing what is broken), not someone who treats Zoho as an afterthought. We also want an HR professional who uses AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude as a daily productivity habit, not just a line on a resume. Zoho Tools You Will Own

• Zoho People (Mandatory, hands-on): employee records, onboarding, attendance, leave, HR workflows and reports
