Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

We’re looking for an Internal Senior Recruiter who can move fast, think strategically, and bring in top talent across Sri Lanka, with the ability to recruit globally when needed. You will own full-cycle hiring for both internal roles and client roles, driving everything from sourcing and outreach to interviews and offers.

This is not a coordinator role. It is built for someone who thrives in a startup environment, operates autonomously, and manages multiple searches at once without losing precision. If you know the Sri Lankan talent market inside out, can spot high performers quickly, and enjoy building strong hiring systems, this role is for you.

Why You’ll Want to Join

  • You will be paid in USD bi-monthly every 15th and 30th
  • Up to 14 days of Paid Time Off annually starting Day 1
  • Observance of Holidays based on your location
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you feel most productive
  • Work directly with founders and leadership on priority hires
  • Access to premium sourcing tools, recruiting platforms, and AI workflows
  • High autonomy, clear ownership, and visibility in a fast-scaling team

What You’ll Work On

Full-Cycle Recruiting

  • Own end-to-end recruiting across operations, design, marketing, engineering, and technical roles
  • Run intake calls, define role requirements, and create targeted search strategies
  • Source, assess, interview, and recommend top candidates with clarity
  • Manage offers and ensure smooth onboarding transitions

Sri Lanka Talent Acquisition

  • Build sourcing strategies tailored to the Sri Lankan talent ecosystem
  • Maintain strong understanding of compensation benchmarks and local talent pools
  • Develop long-term candidate relationships and nurture passive talent pipelines

Pipeline Management and Process Optimization

  • Keep ATS pipelines clean, updated, and structured
  • Improve workflows to reduce time-to-fill and ensure a strong candidate experience
  • Create repeatable processes that make hiring faster and more predictable

Collaboration and Reporting

  • Partner with department heads to align on hiring priorities and timelines
  • Build role briefs, interview plans, and candidate scorecards
  • Report on funnel metrics, conversion rates, and candidate quality trends

Tech-Enabled Recruitment

  • Leverage AI sourcing tools to identify top talent efficiently
  • Use automation to scale outreach and reduce manual workflow time
  • Introduce new recruiting tools and systems that improve consistency and speed

What You Bring

  • 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience (agency or in-house)
  • Strong track record sourcing and placing talent in Sri Lanka
  • Excellent interviewing, candidate assessment, and closing skills
  • Highly organized, proactive, and comfortable working independently
  • Hands-on experience with ATS platforms like Workable, Lever, or similar
  • Ability to recruit across multiple functions including creative, marketing, and technical roles
  • Startup-ready mindset with strong ownership and follow-through

How to Apply

Please include:

  1. Your updated resume with at least two professional references
  2. A short 1–2 minute Loom video introducing yourself and sharing your experience hiring in the Sri Lankan market

Only candidates who submit a Loom video will be considered.

If you’re a sharp recruiter who understands the nuance of Sri Lankan talent, can manage searches end-to-end, and thrives in a fast-paced environment, this role gives you the autonomy and impact you’re looking for.
