Respond.io Hiring! Full Time Talent Acquisition Partner in Federal Territory - Ricebowl

Talent Acquisition Partner · Kuala Lumpur · Full-time · HR

About *************

************* is an AI-powered business messaging platform trusted by companies in 127+ countries. We help businesses manage every customer conversation — across chat, calls, and email — in one place. Founded in 2017, we've grown into a global team moving fast to shape how the world communicates with customers.

We're looking for a Talent Partner, not a Talent Coordinator.

At *************, the people we hire define what we become. That's why this role isn't about filling seats — it's about finding the right people, across multiple roles and regions. You'll be the one hiring managers trust, candidates remember, and the team feels. If you take recruiting personally — this role was built for you.

What You're Here to Do

Your job: get the right people in the right seats.

• Hunt for talent — don't wait for applications. Source proactively on LinkedIn and beyond, and always have strong candidates in sight
• Filter with precision — assess candidates for skill, mindset, and cultural fit; use AI tools to sharpen your judgment, not replace it
• Own the full cycle — first contact to signed offer, you drive it. No handoffs, no gaps
• Be a true partner to hiring managers — understand what they actually need, align on expectations, and push back when needed
• Run a tight process — coordinate interviews, collect feedback, drive decisions, and never leave a candidate in the dark
• Keep getting better — track what's working, cut what isn't, and use data to make smarter decisions over time

What Success Looks Like

• Roles filled with the right people — on skill, mindset, and culture
• Hiring managers who trust your judgment and come to you before a role is even open
• A faster, sharper process than what existed before you

You'll Thrive Here If...

• You treat sourcing like a sport — you're competitive about finding great people
• You can hold more than 5 open roles in your head and not drop a single ball
• You give direct feedback, take direct feedback, and move forward
• You love using AI and tools to work smarter
• You stay organised and focused even when everything is moving fast
• You're looking for a role to grow into, not a stepping stone. We invest in people who commit to building with us.

What You Bring

• 3+ years in Talent Acquisition, with at least 2 years in B2B SaaS or tech, closing technical roles (engineering, product, design)
• In-house experience is a huge plus!
• Proven track record of proactive sourcing, especially via LinkedIn
• Experience managing high-volume hiring across multiple concurrent roles
• Strong communicator — you can advise a hiring manager, not just update them
• Familiarity with ATS platforms, sourcing tools, and AI-assisted workflows
• Multi-region or international hiring experience is a bonus
• Fluent in English, written and verbal

What You Get

• Competitive compensation package — high performers are recognised and rewarded
• Flexible working hours and environment — we care about output, not clock-ins
• From PS5 tournaments to go-kart showdowns, Among Us nights to virtual game sessions — we find any excuse to get the team together
• Real ownership, real scope. You'll partner directly with leadership on hiring strategy, not just execute tickets. The bar moves fast — and you move it.

We're building the team that builds the future of customer communication. Think you belong here? Let's talk.
