Build the Team That Builds the Future
At BJAK, we believe every great product starts with the right people. We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us identify and recruit high-performing, mission-aligned individuals who will shape the future of financial access in Southeast Asia.
In this role, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end recruitment process, with a strong focus on sourcing, screening, and evaluating top talent across functions. From engineering to operations to AI, 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 - reviewing CVs, profiles, and portfolios to identify high-potential candidates who align with our team’s culture and values.
- Source actively and creatively using job boards, LinkedIn, social platforms, referrals, events, and beyond.
- Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, screening criteria, and interview plans.
- Conduct insightful phone screens and first-stage interviews that go beyond surface-level answers.
- Provide clear, constructive feedback to both candidates and internal stakeholders.
- Ensure an exceptional candidate experience - timely updates, honest communication, and human connection.
- Track and optimize hiring pipelines using modern tools and structured processes.
- Stay on top of hiring trends, market movements, and competitor benchmarks.
What We’re Looking For
- You see recruitment as a craft - not just filling roles, but building teams.
- You’re energized by fast-paced environments and don’t need hand-holding to get moving.
- You’re resilient and resourceful - when talent is scarce, you find a way.
- You care deeply about people and take pride in creating great candidate experiences.
- You bring both heart and logic to hiring - balancing culture, potential, and performance.
- You thrive in ambiguity, adapt quickly, and stay focused on results.
- You don’t wait for direction - you take initiative and deliver outcomes.
You’ll Excel in This Role If You...
- Have a strong eye for talent - you can spot high performers quickly by reading between the lines.
- Are organized and detail-obsessed, juggling multiple roles and tasks without letting quality slip.
- Communicate clearly, confidently, and professionally - with both candidates and internal teams.
- Love to build - whether it’s new processes, sourcing strategies, or hiring dashboards.
- Take full ownership - from outreach to offer stage, you run a tight, transparent hiring process.
- Bring a strong bias for action - you move fast, but always with thought and care.
The Right Fit Has...
- 3+ years of experience in recruitment, preferably in a high-growth or tech/startup environment.
- Proven ability to source, screen, and assess candidates across a variety of functions and seniority levels.
- Excellent knowledge of recruitment tools, sourcing platforms, and ATS systems.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Comfort working in a flat, fast-paced, and ambiguous environment.
- A problem-solving mindset, high emotional intelligence, and a sense of ownership.
Nice to Have
- Experience hiring for tech, AI, or digital product roles
- Exposure to international recruitment and/or regional hiring across ASEAN
- Familiarity with behavioral and situational interviewing techniques
- Experience in employer branding or recruitment marketing
- Understanding of startup/scale-up hiring challenges
Why Join BJAK
- Above-market remuneration
- Fast-track career growth & exposure
