We help companies hire, pay, and manage teams across 150+ countries without compromising compliance — simplifying payroll, compliance, and global workforce operations.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead to own and scale hiring at Niural during a period of rapid expansion. This role sits at the center of growth — partnering closely with founders, functional leaders, and People Operations to build a strong, repeatable hiring engine.

You’ll be responsible for driving full-cycle recruiting, building hiring processes, improving candidate experience, and ensuring we attract high-quality talent across technical, GTM, and operational roles — without slowing down execution. This role is ideal for someone who has scaled hiring in a fast-growing startup, thrives in ambiguity, and can balance speed with quality.

• Own end-to-end recruiting for priority roles across Sales, Operations, Finance,

  Compliance, Marketing, Customer, Engineering, and Product Teams.

• Partner with leadership to translate business goals into clear hiring plans, role

  definitions, and timelines.

• Prioritize and sequence hiring based on company growth, product launches, and customer demand.

• Manage multiple active searches simultaneously, maintaining momentum and clarity across all roles.

• Design and continuously improve structured, scalable hiring processes — from intake to offer to close.

• Own and optimize the ATS, interview workflows, scorecards, and hiring metrics (time-to-hire, funnel conversion, quality of hire).

• Build interview frameworks that are fair, consistent, and aligned with Niural’s bar for talent.

• Clearly articulate and evolve a repeatable recruiting process, even as the company and hiring needs change.

• Deliver a high-quality, transparent, and respectful candidate experience from

  the first touch through offer.

• Partner with Marketing and Leadership to strengthen Niural’s employer brand, careers messaging, and recruiting content.

• Ensure candidates clearly understand Niural’s mission, growth stage, and expectations.

• Build proactive sourcing strategies for hard-to-hire roles (engineering, senior ICs,niche operators).

• Develop and maintain talent pipelines across geographies, especially for global and distributed roles.

• Leverage creative sourcing methods beyond inbound applications.

• Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers — coaching on role scoping, interview best practices, and decision-making.

• Drive alignment and accountability across interview panels to keep hiring moving quickly and decisively.

• Lead effective role kickoffs, align stakeholders early, and keep hiring teams accountable to timelines and feedback loops.

• Prepare Niural’s hiring engine for continued scale — documenting processes, improving forecasting, and identifying where to automate or specialize as volume grows.

• Support workforce planning as Niural expands into new countries, products, and customer segments.

• Think ahead about how recruiting needs to evolve as the company moves toward the next growth stage.

• Have 2-4 years of talent acquisition or recruiting experience, including leading hiring in a fast-growing startup or scale-up.

• Have experience as an early or lead recruiter in a fast-growing startup environment.

• Can clearly explain how you recruit, why your process works, and how you adapt it as hiring scales.

• Have hired across a mix of technical, GTM, and operational roles.

• Are comfortable operating with limited structure and enjoy building systems from scratch.

• Understand how to balance speed, quality, and candidate experience in a high-growth environment.

• Are data-driven, organized, and strong at stakeholder management.

• Communicate clearly and confidently with candidates, hiring managers, and leadership.

• Experience hiring in B2B SaaS, fintech, HR tech, payroll, PEO, or EOR environments.

• Experience supporting distributed or global teams.

• Exposure to early-stage (Series A/B) company scaling challenges.

• A front-row seat to building teams at a company scaling globally.

• High ownership and direct impact on Niural’s growth trajectory.

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits.

• The opportunity to grow into broader People or Talent leadership within the company scales.
