Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist - YAAS
Bengaluru
About YAAS
YAAS is a content and media company building some of India's most ambitious creator-led IPs. We work at the intersection of storytelling, brand, and culture, producing content that reaches millions across YouTube, Instagram, and beyond.
Hiring is not a support function here. It is the core of how we grow. Seventy percent of founder bandwidth goes into talent. We are now expanding that capacity.
The Role
We are hiring 3 Senior Talent Acquisition Specialists to scale our creative scouting function.
This is not a conventional recruiting role. The talent we hire, presenters, writers, editors, creative leads, does not come with standardised credentials. There is no degree for someone who can hold a viewer's attention for eight minutes. No certification for a writer who makes people care about a niche they knew nothing about an hour ago.
Your job is to find those people before anyone else does. That means pattern-matching from adjacent signals, making informed bets on potential, and building a pipeline of talent the market has not yet priced correctly.
What You Will Do
Own end-to-end recruitment across creative and corporate roles
Source talent beyond conventional job boards, identifying high-potential individuals from creator ecosystems, adjacent industries, and referral networks
Evaluate candidates on taste, instinct, and trajectory, not just experience
Work directly with founders on hiring strategy and prioritisation
Build and maintain a living pipeline of talent for roles that may not yet exist
Who We Are Looking For
2+ years of recruiting experience in creative services, media production, or a boutique agency environment
Demonstrated ability to source and close non-standard profiles
Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving environment
Based in Bengaluru or willing to relocate
What We Offer
Competitive compensation
Direct access to and collaboration with founding team
