Jr. HR Associate (Talent Acquisition)

This is Riza, the HR Manager at Fresh Prints.

If you had asked me five years ago whether I’d be leading recruitment, running cross-functional projects, managing a team of talented HR Associates, building automations (despite coming from a non-tech background), spearheading QA, and writing OKRs – all things that were completely alien to me at the time, I would’ve laughed and probably rolled my eyes.

I joined Fresh Prints during COVID as a fresh graduate, as part of a newly formed HR team, viewing it as a stepping stone before heading to business school. That plan took a sharp U-turn when I was given opportunities to do far more than just “screen resumes” – to think critically about hiring, build systems, and help redefine what recruiting could look like in a fast-growing startup.

I doubted myself at almost every step, but I took on the challenge to build a high-functioning team and to redefine recruiting in a way that actually supports the business.

Almost five years in, we’re a strong team of dedicated talent specialists spread across India and the Philippines. We’ve hired and retained over 400 employees in the past few years and learned a ton along the way; what scales, what breaks, and what truly moves the needle.

We’re an experiment-first team. We don’t flinch at ideas, we love them. Have a compelling idea? Pitch it. We’ll run with it. We’re equally big on learning and iteration, and today, nearly 50% of our workflows are automated, freeing our talent associates to focus on strategy and execution.

Now, we’re looking for strategists who execute. People who go beyond ticking off daily tasks and think about the bigger picture:

• How can HR enable the business?
• How can HR better support the Executive Team?
• How can HR lead world-class talent acquisition that creates a seamless experience for candidates and hiring managers?

If this sounds exciting, and you have the energy to build, experiment, and own outcomes, I’d love to hear from you.
