You run a team of 9; three MS Recruiters, three RS Recruiters, and three shared TA Sourcers. Your job is to keep the field fully staffed, on SLA, and at bar.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years in talent acquisition, including 2+ years leading a recruiting team in a high-volume environment (field sales, retail, logistics, FMCG, gig, or similar).

  • High-volume field hiring: You have run — not just supported — a sourcing and hiring engine for a large, distributed workforce. You know what it takes to keep a pipeline full and moving.

  • Team leadership: You have managed recruiters and sourcers, set productivity expectations, coached performance, and built team operating rhythm.

  • Vendor management: You have managed third-party sourcing or recruitment vendors, held them to performance metrics, and replaced those who did not deliver.

  • Analytics mindset: Comfortable with funnel data, conversion rates, and cohort analysis. You make resourcing decisions from evidence, not instinct.

  • ATS fluency: You run your hiring operations through an ATS (Manatal, Greenhouse, Lever, or similar). Pipeline hygiene and data accuracy are non-negotiable for you.

  • Indonesian market knowledge: You understand the supply and demand dynamics of field sales recruitment across Indonesian regions - what channels work, where candidates come from, where they drop off.

  • Builder mindset: You have built processes, scorecards, and playbooks from scratch. You do not wait for infrastructure - you build it.
