HR Recruiter (Talent Acquisition Specialist)
About Mailercloud
Mailercloud is a global email marketing and deliverability SaaS company building tools that help thousands of businesses worldwide send better email at scale. We’re headquartered in London, UK, with offices in Calicut and Bangalore — a fast-growing, profitable company with a strong product, a passionate customer base, and big ambitions for the year ahead.
Our India team is growing — and we’re looking for a recruiter who can help us bring in the right people, faster. This role is built around one mandate: hire well.
The Role
We’re hiring a Specialist Recruiter to own end-to-end recruitment for our India operations. This is a focused, individual-contributor role — your job is to source, screen, and close the right candidates for engineering, product, sales, customer success, and operations roles.
This is not a generalist HR role. Day-to-day HR operations (employee lifecycle, Keka admin, IT assets, engagement execution) are handled by our HR Operations team. You stay focused on hiring — and you’ll report directly to the CEO.
What You’ll Own
Sourcing & Pipeline Building
Build candidate pipelines for both IT roles (engineers, product, design) and non-IT roles (sales, marketing, customer success, operations) using Naukri, LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, hirist, and direct outreach
Develop and maintain a strong network across Kerala’s IT ecosystem (Cyberpark Calicut, Infopark Kochi) and pan-India tech communities
Use Boolean search, X-Ray search, referral networks, and creative sourcing to find strong passive candidates
Required Qualifications
2–3 years of end-to-end recruitment experience in an IT, SaaS, or product technology company
Proven ability to source for technical roles — must be comfortable hiring software developers, designers, and product managers
Strong working knowledge of Naukri, LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and at least one ATS (Keka, Zoho Recruit, Greenhouse, or similar)
Excellent communication in English (Malayalam is a plus for local candidate handling)
Strong negotiation, candidate-handling, and stakeholder-management skills
Comfortable working independently and reporting directly to the CEO
Bachelor’s degree in any discipline; MBA / PGDM in HR is a plus but not required
Preferred (Nice to Have)
Prior experience hiring for an IT/SaaS company with global operations (Cyberpark, Infopark, or remote-first)
Track record hiring for niche tech roles — DevOps, AI/ML, Backend, Senior Engineers, Product Managers
Exposure to global hiring (UK / US / Europe) — we hire across our London, Calicut, and Bangalore offices
Familiarity with employer branding, careers-page content, and recruitment marketing
Recruitment certifications (LinkedIn Recruiter, AIRS, SHRM, or equivalent)
What We Offer
Compensation: ?4 – ?4.8 LPA, based on experience and IT recruitment background
Direct exposure to the CEO — your work directly impacts company growth, not buried under layers of management
Clear career path as Mailercloud scales — this is a foundational hire, not a placeholder
Modern SaaS environment — work alongside a product used by thousands of businesses globally
Standard benefits — Paid leave, statutory benefits (PF, ESI, Gratuity), wellness initiatives
Permanent, full-time role based out of our Calicut (Kozhikode) office
