• You’re independent, resourceful, and relentless in sourcing and closing top talent.

• You thrive in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments and are not afraid to challenge the norm.

• You understand and care deeply about the candidate experience, especially in a cross-border context.

• You have high emotional intelligence, strong judgment, and know how to assess more than just hard skills.

• You’re Indonesia market-savvy, startup-aligned, and outcome-driven—willing to go the extra mile to get hires across the line.

You’ll Excel in This Role If You…

• Have an eye for exceptional talent and can spot high-performers beyond their resumes.

• Are organized and detail-oriented, able to juggle multiple roles and hiring timelines.

• Communicate clearly and confidently with both internal stakeholders and candidates.

• Love to build and optimize - whether that’s processes, pipelines, or playbooks.

• Take full ownership from first outreach to offer stage.

• Move fast, but thoughtfully, always balancing quality and urgency.

Requirements

• 4+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience, preferably in tech, startup, or growth environments.

• Proven success hiring across multiple functions and levels.

• Deep familiarity with modern sourcing tools, ATS platforms, and recruitment best practices.
