Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist (Recruitment + Employer Branding & Community (Meetups))

Codebase builds exceptional software teams for clients across. We take on our clients' biggest engineering risks — speed, quality, and the cost of hiring the wrong people — and solve them with vetted engineering talent and a custom agile process. Codebase is a great place to work at. The culture is transparent and every employee, irrespective of their position, is given a chance to be heard.

We are looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist who can own hiring end to end across two very different worlds: technology roles (MERN, React Native, QA Automation, .NET, Python) and non-tech roles (Marketing and Business Development). You will not sit behind a job board waiting for applications — you will hunt, build talent pipelines, and represent the Codebase brand in Pune's tech community, including attending and organizing developer meetups.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role with high visibility. You will work directly with our Technical Managers, Sales leadership, and the founders.

• →Own full-cycle recruitment for engineering roles — MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), React Native, Full-Stack, QA Automation (Java + Selenium, Playwright, Mobile), .NET, and Python.
• →Build and refine Boolean search strings on Naukri Resdex, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, and niche communities to source passive candidates.
• →Run first-level technical screening — assess project depth, tech stack fit, and communication before scheduling technical rounds.
• →Coordinate technical interview panels with internal Technical Managers and external Interview-as-a-Service (IaaS) partners; keep turnaround tight.
• →Maintain a live pipeline dashboard: sourced, screened, in-process, offered, joined — with drop-off reasons.

• Own hiring for Marketing (B2B, demand generation, content) and Business Development / IT Services Sales roles, including senior mandates.
• Assess non-tech candidates on quota history, pipeline ownership, ICP understanding, and outbound experience — not just years on paper.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to build role scorecards and calibrate on what "good" looks like before sourcing begins.

• Represent Codebase at IT and developer meetups, tech conferences, and community events in Pune.
• Plan and organize Codebase-hosted meetups — pick the theme, invite speakers, manage the Meetup.com page and RSVPs, run the event, and convert attendees into pipeline.
• Build and maintain a talent community from event attendees, referrals, and silver-medalist candidates.
• Contribute to the Codebase careers brand — job posts, LinkedIn presence, and candidate experience.

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal abilities.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Proactive and eager to learn new technologies.
