Talent Acquisition Partner

Skills this role screens for

About the role

HackerRank helps companies like NVIDIA, Amazon, and Microsoft hire and upskill the next generation of developers based on skills, not pedigree. Our platform is trusted by over 2,500 of the world’s most innovative companies to build strong engineering teams ready for what’s next.

Software has entered an era where humans and AI build side by side. As this shift accelerates, the definition of strong technical talent is changing. We give companies better ways to identify and invest in next-generation skills.

People at HackerRank care deeply about the impact of their work and sweat the small details so our customers can be wildly successful with products they genuinely love to use. We move with urgency and believe great outcomes come from high standards.

We are hiring a Global Talent Acquisition Partner who operates less like a traditional recruiter and more like a builder. This role owns Product, Engineering, and Design hiring in India with exposure to US and EMEA reqs and some GTM hiring.

A lot of what we hire sits at the intersection of AI, product, and platform. Terms like RLHF, SFT, and foundation model work should already mean something to you before the intake call. On the GTM side, you should know whether a role calls for a PLG-motion seller, an enterprise AE, or a RevOps operator and understand how ARR stage and ICP shape that answer. You follow what AI-first startups are building for and bring those signals into how you run searches here.

The work

What you will do

• Own full-cycle hiring across Product, Engineering, Design, and GTM, including select US and EMEA reqs
• Build sourcing workflows using AI tools and agents, not inbound pipelines or third-party agencies
• Advise hiring managers and leadership directly: bring market data, calibrate scope, and push back when the brief doesn't hold
• Take on ambiguous and net-new roles with no existing playbook and build one as you go
• Present pipeline health, market insight, and hiring recommendations to senior leadership

Who they want

Who you are

• 4 to 8 years of full-cycle recruiting; technical or GTM background preferred
• High-agency by default: you propose the plan, execute it, and don't wait for a perfect brief to start
• You build relationships with candidates ahead of open reqs, not just to fill them
• Actively using AI tools in your sourcing and screening workflow today, not planning to
• Can hold a room with a function head or founder and present pipeline or market data without over-preparing
• Bangalore-based, with flexibility for US time zone overlap
