Talent Partner IT

About the job:Talent Partner

Full-Time | Mumbai/Hybrid | Mid-Senior Level

Qrata is a hiring decision system. As a talent advisor, you will be a strategic partner to global founders and leadership teams, sitting at the intersection of AI powered talent intelligence, executive search, and account management. You will own mandates end-to-end, lead a pod of specialists, and deliver the kind of advisory that shapes how startups scale.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Client Advisory & Account Management:

• Own a portfolio of accounts -- serving as the primary advisor to founders, CEOs, and CHROs on talent strategy, org design, role scoping, and compensation philosophy.
• Run structured QBRs, challenge hiring briefs where needed, and guide clients from role definition through offer and onboarding.
• Identify expansion opportunities within accounts -- from single hires to team builds -- and manage expectations across complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

2. Market Intelligence:

• Synthesize live market data -- compensation benchmarks, talent availability, competitor hiring trends -- into structured intelligence reports and search summaries for clients.
• Leverage Qrata's platform and proprietary data to deliver evidence-based sourcing strategies and hiring timelines.
• Stay sharp on macro talent trends across SaaS, fintech, consumer, and deep tech in India, SEA, GCC, and beyond.

3. Search Execution & Candidate Advisory:

• Lead discovery sessions, build Role DNA scorecards, and activate curated pipelines through proactive outreach and network leverage.
• Conduct advisory-led assessments evaluating skills, motivation, and trajectory -- presenting ranked shortlists with clear rationale.
• Manage offers, negotiations, and pre-joining engagement to ensure smooth closures with minimal drop-offs.

Qrata brings two-sided talent intelligence to hiring -- combining deep market data, thousands of pre-qualified executive profiles, and a structured advisory layer that most search firms can't replicate. Our platform uses contextual intelligence and AI-assisted vetting to give clients evidence-backed shortlists and give talent a fair, ability-focused evaluation beyond a resume.
