Technical Recruiter (India)

ABOUT HYPHENATE

Hyphenate (formerly Maximor.ai http://Maximor.ai) is a New York-based startup, founded in 2023 by former Microsoft executives, building AI agents that automate finance and accounting workflows for mid-market and enterprise companies. The platform connects directly to ERP, CRM, billing, payroll, and banking systems to handle tasks like revenue recognition, accounts payable, and reconciliation — replacing the manual, Excel-driven work that has traditionally bogged down finance teams during month-end close. Hyphenate has raised $9M in seed funding led by Foundation Capital, with participation from Gaia Ventures, Boldcap, and others.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Hyphenate is hiring an India-based Technical Recruiter to own outbound sourcing and closing for U.S. software engineering and technical roles. This is a hands-on, outbound-first sourcing role for someone who has already closed engineering hires for a U.S. product company and is comfortable running cold outreach at volume.

WORK SCHEDULE & HOURS

This is a remote role based in India that supports a U.S. hiring team. Please note the following before applying:

- 6-day work week. The role operates on a six-day schedule (Monday through Saturday).

- Late India-time hours. Working hours are shifted later in the day (IST) to provide meaningful overlap with U.S. business hours for candidate calls, hiring-team syncs, and scheduling.

- Flexibility on both sides. Exact hours will be agreed with the Head of Talent and may flex around candidate availability across U.S. time zones.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Own end-to-end sourcing and outbound recruitment for U.S.-based software engineering and technical roles.

- Design and run outbound campaigns — cold email sequences and cold calling — to build qualified candidate pipelines.

- Use AI-enabled sourcing tools to identify, enrich, and prioritize candidate lists.

- Manage candidate communication end-to-end: outreach, screening, scheduling, and pipeline updates.

- Partner closely with the hiring team to refine sourcing criteria based on candidate quality and market feedback.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

- 2–4 years of full-cycle recruiting experience at a fast-growing, U.S.-based startup (seed through Series B).

- Startup experience must be from a product company — SaaS, AI agents, or enterprise software. E-commerce and non-product companies do not qualify.

- Track record of having sourced and closed multiple U.S.-based software engineering roles — this is a minimum bar, not a nice-to-have.

- Strong, demonstrated experience with outbound recruitment: cold email campaigns and cold calling. Inbound recruiting experience is a plus but not required.

- Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.

- Comfortable using AI tools as part of the day-to-day sourcing workflow.

- Able to commit to a 6-day work week with late India-time hours aligned to U.S. business hours.

- Consistent, stable work history — frequent unexplained employment gaps will not meet the bar.

PREFERRED / NICE TO HAVE

- Familiarity with modern AI-powered sourcing platforms such as Juicebox or MetaView.

- Experience with sourcing/outreach tools commonly used for U.S. technical hiring, such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, hireEZ (formerly Hiretual), SeekOut, GitHub (with tools like Octohunt), and Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent).

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- Very competitive pay. Compensation benchmarked well above market for the role and experience level.

- Performance-based bonus. Additional earnings tied to hiring outcomes and pipeline quality.

HIRING PROCESS

- Round 1 — Screening: Introductory conversation with the Hyphenate Head of Talent.

- Round 2 — Task: A short take-home exercise (a few hours) to assess sourcing approach and output.

- Round 3 — Paid Work Trial: Successful candidates move to a one-week, paid work trial using Hyphenate's own tools and live requisitions.

- Final Round: A closing conversation with Hyphenate leadership.
