This unique value is leading to unparalleled growth; in 2025, we tripled our ARR at scale.

Why join Handshake now:

- Shape how every career evolves in the AI economy, at global scale, with impact your friends, family and peers can see and feel

THE ROLE:

Handshake is hiring a Senior Recruiter to support hiring across business, operations, and technical roles as we continue to scale our India presence. Reporting to the Sr. Manager of Recruiting, you’ll partner closely with stakeholders across functions while helping build and evolve recruiting processes locally.

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders to build our India team from zero to scale and help define how we hire as the office grows. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing team and play a foundational role in building and scaling Handshake AI’s India office.

This role is based in our Bangalore office and requires 3 days per week onsite. While the majority of the office will work Pacific Standard Time (PST), this role will work 11AM to 8PM IST with flexibility to 10 PM IST to better accommodate candidate schedules.

- Partner with hiring managers and senior stakeholders across business, operations, and technical teams to understand hiring needs, shape role scope, and align on priorities

- Own the end-to-end recruiting process for a diverse set of roles, from intake and sourcing through interviews, offers, and close

- Lead candidate scheduling, interview ops, and candidate logistics for evening and overnight interviews (core ownership of 4pm–4am).

- Build and maintain strong pipelines for hard-to-fill business, operations, and technical roles across India and other regions. Proactively engage passive talent and develop long-term candidate relationships

- Provide insights on local and global talent markets, compensation expectations, and competitive dynamics to inform hiring decisions

- Own interview scheduling, candidate logistics, and cross-time-zone coordination, ensuring a smooth, timely, and consistent candidate experience

- Contribute to building recruiting processes, norms, and ways of working as the India office continues to grow

- Deliver a thoughtful, high-quality candidate experience that reflects Handshake AI’s values and standards

YOU HAVE:

- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience supporting business, operations, and/or technical roles

- Experience recruiting in a startup or fast-scaling environment, with comfort operating in ambiguity and evolving processes is a must

- Strong experience partnering with hiring managers and senior stakeholders, with the ability to set expectations and communicate clearly

- Experience recruiting for technical or specialized roles, with the ability to assess skill requirements and partner effectively with technical interviewers

- Hands-on experience sourcing across multiple role types using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, CRM tools, and referrals

- Comfortable supporting recruiting operations and coordination while maintaining ownership of individual requisitions

- Ability to track recruiting metrics, identify trends, and adjust approach as needed

- Clear written and verbal communication skills, especially across teams and time zones

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
