US IT Recruiter

About the Role

We're looking for a US IT Recruiter who can independently own end-to-end recruitment lifecycle for US-based IT staffing requirements (C2C / W2 / 1099, contract and full-time), while also supporting domestic (India) and UK requisitions during general working hours. You'll work closely with the TA Lead, account managers, and vendors to source, screen, and close niche IT positions across technology stacks, and will need to flex your working hours when US client requirements demand overlap with US time zones.

Shift & Work Hours

This role follows a General Shift of 10:30 AM – 7:30 PM IST, working from our Bhopal office. During this shift, you will primarily work on domestic (India) and UK requirements.

• When active US requirements come in, you are expected to adjust your working hours to align with the relevant US time zone overlap for sourcing, screening, and candidate/client coordination on those roles.
  

• Outside of active US requirement windows, you will continue working the General Shift (10:30 AM – 7:30 PM IST) on domestic and UK requisitions.
  

• Shift adjustments for US requirements will be communicated in advance by the TA Lead based on client urgency and hiring manager availability.
  

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end recruitment lifecycle — requisition intake, sourcing strategy, screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and closure — for assigned US IT, domestic, and UK requisitions.
  

• Source active and passive candidates through job boards (Dice, Monster, CareerBuilder, LinkedIn Recruiter), Boolean search, referrals, and vendor/partner networks for US IT roles.
  

• Understand and work confidently with US tax terms and engagement types (C2C, W2, 1099) and immigration/work-authorization basics (H1B, GC, USC, OPT/CPT, TN) relevant to US IT staffing.
  

• Conduct L1 screening interviews to assess technical fit, communication, rate/compensation alignment, and work-authorization status before submitting candidates to hiring managers or clients.
  

• Manage a portfolio of P0–P3 priority requisitions simultaneously across US, domestic, and UK accounts, balancing urgency and quality across roles.
  

• Partner with account managers, hiring managers, and clients to clarify job requirements, calibrate candidate expectations, and troubleshoot sourcing bottlenecks.
  

• Maintain accurate, real-time pipeline data in the ATS (e.g., Zoho Recruit) — candidate status, tags, and stage movement.
  

• Coordinate and manage vendor/staffing partner submissions, ensuring quality and turnaround SLAs are met, including rate negotiations on C2C submissions.
  

• Drive offer/rate negotiation and compensation discussions in line with approved budgets, escalating gaps between market rate and approved budget where needed.
  

• Provide timely, structured updates to the TA Lead on requisition status, blockers, and forecasted closures.
  

• Contribute to continuous improvement of TA processes — screening forms, submission trackers, and interview scheduling workflows.
  

• Mentor and support junior recruiters on US IT sourcing techniques, screening rigor, and pipeline hygiene.
  

What We're Looking For

• 5–9 years of experience in recruitment, with a strong, demonstrable background in US IT staffing (C2C / W2 / 1099).
  

• Proven track record of closing niche or hard-to-fill US IT roles within agreed SLAs, working with clients and implementation partners/vendors.
  

• Strong sourcing skills across LinkedIn Recruiter, Dice, Monster, CareerBuilder, Boolean search, and referral networks.
  

• Solid working knowledge of US tax terms, work-authorization categories, and typical US IT staffing submission/rate processes.
  

• Hands-on experience with an ATS (Zoho Recruit, Greenhouse, or similar) and comfort maintaining structured pipeline data.
  

• Excellent stakeholder management skills — confident working directly with hiring managers, clients, and vendors across US, UK, and domestic accounts.
  

• Willingness and flexibility to adjust working hours for US time-zone overlap as needed, in addition to the standard General Shift.
  

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication.
  

Good to Have

• Prior experience recruiting for BFSI, AI/ML, or technology client accounts in the US market.
  

• Familiarity with vendor management and staffing partner ecosystems (implementation partners, prime vendors).
  

• Exposure to recruitment analytics, dashboards, or reporting tools.
