About Job

Campus hiring at Plum is not a support function. It’s a growth engine.

The people we hire from campuses today will become our managers, leaders, and culture carriers tomorrow.

We’re looking for someone who can build this engine, with speed, structure, and high quality.

This is for someone who doesn’t just want to “run placement drives,” but wants to build a long-term early talent strategy.

This role will require you to be on your feet, travelling across the country. Please be mindful of this before applying.

Skills & Qualification

1. Build the Campus Engine

• Create the annual campus hiring plan aligned to business goals

• Decide which campuses we double down on (and which we don’t)

• Build a year-long engagement calendar beyond placement season activity

• Design a predictable, scalable hiring model

2. Raise the Bar on Early Talent

• Define what “great” looks like for management trainees and early career roles

• Build structured assessment processes

• Partner closely with hiring managers to improve selection quality

• Track probation success and refine campus targeting accordingly

3. Own Relationships & Brand

• Build strong partnerships with placement cells and faculty

• Represent Plum on campus with credibility and clarity

• Run initiatives like case competitions, workshops, internships, or live projects

• Ensure we’re seen as a serious, long-term partner and not a one-season recruiter

4. Deliver with Discipline

• Manage multiple campuses and hiring waves without dropping the ball

• Drive speed without compromising candidate experience

• Track metrics: applications, shortlist %, offer ratio, joins, retention

• Use data to improve predictability every year
