What We Offer

~1 min read

We have built a proprietary recruitment platform capturing 98% of India’s white-collar workforce with AI-native search and outreach capabilities. We are already profitable, growing rapidly across India and the US, and pairing YC-backed founders directly with top talent.

As a Key Account Manager, you won't be pushing paper or managing bloated recruiter headcount. You will step into the arena as a trusted talent advisor to high-growth startup founders, using AI-driven tools to close mission-critical roles. If you love the high-velocity "hustle" of closing candidates but want modern AI tools, direct access to founders, and uncapped financial upside—this is your platform.

2–5 Years of Full-Cycle Sourcing Expertise: Demonstrated track record of owning recruitment mandates end-to-end (from client briefing and passive candidate outreach to offer negotiation and closing).
Consultative DNA: Proven capability to push back on clients/founders, advise on talent availability, and proactively re-strategize target company pools when mandates stall.
Command of Modern Sourcing Avenues: Native fluency with passive sourcing channels (LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Job Portals) and internal candidate databases.
Founder-Level Communication: Crisp, articulate written and verbal communication. You can break down complex startup value propositions to candidate prospects seamlessly.
Hustler's Mindset: High agency, strong personal accountability, and a preference for direct hands-on execution (Individual Contributor role) over people-management bloat.
