Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist

Build the Team That Builds the Future

At BJAK, we believe every great product starts with the right people. We’re looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us identify, engage, and hire top-performing, mission-aligned individuals who will shape the future of financial access across Southeast Asia.

In this role, you’ll be a strategic hiring partner to our leaders across various functions, including engineering, operations, and AI. You’ll lead full-cycle hiring with a strong focus on proactive sourcing, candidate evaluation, and delivering a seamless experience to both candidates and internal stakeholders. The people you bring in will directly impact how fast and how far we grow.

What You’ll Do

• Be the gatekeeper of talent quality—review CVs, portfolios, and signals beyond the resume to identify high-potential candidates who align with our values.
• Take the lead in proactively sourcing exceptional talent using a mix of platforms, tools, communities, and creative outreach.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to gain a deep understanding of role needs, define selection criteria, and shape effective interview processes.
• Conduct meaningful phone screens and first-round interviews to uncover potential beyond surface-level answers.
• Deliver clear, structured feedback to both candidates and hiring teams.
• Ensure an outstanding candidate experience—characterized by transparent communication, timely updates, and a human-first approach.
• Manage, track, and continuously improve the end-to-end hiring pipeline using modern tools and metrics.
• Stay informed about hiring trends, talent movements, and market benchmarks to inform your strategy.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• You approach recruitment as a craft, focused not just on filling roles but on building high-performing, value-aligned teams.
• You bring a strong sense of ownership and thrive in high-growth, high-autonomy environments.
• You’re resourceful and relentless—when top talent is hard to find, you find a way.
• You have high EQ and care deeply about the candidate's journey.
• You balance intuition and structured judgment in assessing potential, culture fit, and performance.
• You’re adaptable, proactive, and focused on driving outcomes in fast-changing contexts.
  
  

You’ll Excel in This Role If You...

• Have a strong eye for talent and can assess high performers beyond their resumes.
• Are highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple open roles without compromising quality.
• Communicate with clarity, professionalism, and confidence—with both internal stakeholders and external candidates.
• Love to build—whether it’s scalable hiring processes, sourcing strategies, or tracking dashboards.
• Take full ownership—from outreach to the offer stage, you run a structured and transparent hiring process.
• Act with urgency and thoughtfulness—moving fast, but never sloppy.
  
  

The Right Fit Has...

• 4+ years of experience in end-to-end recruitment, ideally in a high-growth or tech/startup environment.
• Proven track record in sourcing and hiring for diverse functions and seniority levels.
• Deep familiarity with ATS platforms, sourcing tools, and modern recruitment strategies.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with flat structures.
• High emotional intelligence, problem-solving mindset, and a strong sense of ownership.
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience hiring for tech, AI, or product roles
• Exposure to regional or international hiring, especially across ASEAN
• Familiarity with behavioral and situational interview techniques
• Background in employer branding or recruitment marketing
• Insight into startup or scale-up hiring challenges
