Talent Acquisition Specialist

Reelo is the new-age customer marketing platform for restaurant & retail businesses to grow their revenue, get more customers and build a stronger brand, in an incredibly simple manner. We understand that it's easier than ever to start a restaurant & retail business, it's harder than ever to grow it. Specifically, most of these businesses have two challenges with growth: 1. Getting people to make their first purchase. 2. Getting those people to come back and buy again (and again and again). Our SaaS platform makes it fast & easy for businesses to understand more about their customers and continuously engage with them in a smart & automated way - making them look like a professional without the effort. We're building a strong, diverse team of curious, creative people who want to find purpose in their work and support each other in the process. You'll work alongside the founding team to own end-to-end recruitment, from sourcing and headhunting top talent to closing critical hires across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success. You'll also support key HR processes to ensure our team stays engaged and our culture thrives. This is a hands-on role where you'll spend most of your time hiring the best talent while contributing to employee experience and culture-building initiatives. Responsibilities include: Lead the full recruitment cycle - sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer negotiation, and closing. Build pipelines for current and future hiring needs. Proactively headhunt top talent: Identify and engage passive candidates, especially for hard-to-fill tech roles (Engineering, Product, Data). Use creative sourcing strategies to find A-players. Build an A-team: Partner closely with hiring managers to understand role requirements, assess candidate fit (skills + culture), and ensure we're hiring the best talent in the market. Manage candidate experience: Ensure every candidate has a smooth, professional, and positive experience - from first contact to offer acceptance (or rejection). Build employer brand: Help position Reelo as a great place to work through content, outreach, networking, and showcasing our culture to potential candidates. Support core HR operations: Assist with onboarding, performance cycles, employee engagement initiatives, and day-to-day HR needs as the team scales. Shape and protect culture: Translate Reelo's values into everyday behaviors through hiring decisions, rituals, events, and how we engage the team. Use data to drive decisions: Track key hiring metrics (time-to-hire, offer acceptance rate, pipeline health, source effectiveness) and use them to optimize recruitment strategies.

2+ years of experience in talent acquisition / recruitment, preferably in a startup or SaaS environment. Proven tech hiring experience: Strong track record of successfully hiring for Engineering, Product, or technical roles with the ability to assess technical talent. Excellent at headhunting and sourcing: Skilled at proactively identifying, engaging, and closing passive candidates through LinkedIn, referrals, and creative outreach. Strong ownership and hustle: you're comfortable taking decisions, managing multiple roles at once, and moving fast without compromising on quality. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills - you can position the Reelo story to candidates and partner effectively with hiring managers. Solid judgment and problem-solving: you know how to balance speed with quality of hire, and can assess both skills and culture fit. Comfort with recruitment tools (ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter, sourcing tools) and Google Workspace (Sheets/Docs/Slides). Alignment with Reelo's values—especially moving with velocity, over-communication, and winning together.
