Human Resources Specialist

Job Role : Full-Time (and full of proactiveness, patience, and paperwork)

Location : Kolkata (Sector V) — with occasional "remote rescue missions" for associates scattered across India.

Joining : Immediate (because HR crises wait for no one).

221B Baker St is not your cookie-cutter B2B shop. Our Market Research division is in the business of intelligent lead generation — decoding decision-maker behavior, running precision LinkedIn / email campaigns, and playing data chess with enterprise prospects. On the other side of the building (or more accurately, our Engineering team of 22 associates is busy stress-testing products, writing QA scripts, and pushing Salesforce experiments into the wild.

Now, all these brilliant minds need someone to keep them sane, supported, and occasionally reminded that team sports are not optional. That's where you come in.

• Employee Engagement (aka Ringmaster of Morale) :
• Run weekly engagement activities (bonus points if you get engineers to play football without breaking code deadlines). Mandate daily physical activity (because slouching over laptops isn't a sport). Keep remote associates from drifting into "stranger danger" mode by connecting them virtually.
• Surveys & Sentiment Checks :
• Conduct monthly anonymous employee surveys. Translation : find out what's brewing before it explodes on Glassdoor.(Lol! we have a solid score!)
• Hiring & Talent Acquisition :
• Scour portals like Naukri, Sales Navigator, Glassdoor, and beyond to unearth talent.
• Schedule assessments, interviews, and the occasional reality check with candidates.
• Perform psychological analysis and cultural fit checks (yes, reading between résumé lines is an HR superpower).
• Handle background verification and legal onboarding formalities (your signature = their first day of adulting here).
• Performance & Growth :
• Help define and implement KPIs across Market Research and Engineering Team.
• Be the ears of the organization — hear associates' day-to-day woes, translate them into solutions, and design performance improvement plans with Team Leads / Management.
• Client HR Support (because they matter too) :
• Oversee client onboarding formalities (paperwork, contracts, legal niceties).
• Keep invoices timely — clients like punctuality almost as much as results.
• Compensation & Payroll :
• Publish pay slips, coordinate with the bank for salary disbursements, and make sure "month-end anxiety" doesn't become a company-wide tradition.
• Culture & Brand Building :
• Help create witty social media content (because HR can be cool too).
• Build relationships with premier universities to create a future talent funnel and boost brand presence (yes, we show up at startup events and occasionally do pro bono consulting — altruism pays in goodwill).
• Wish List!
• A people-first professional who can balance empathy with no-nonsense decision-making.
• Someone who doesn't faint at the words "legal compliance" or "performance plan."
• Skilled in talent acquisition (bonus points if you can sniff red flags in résumés faster than Google).
• Adept at handling both extroverted market researchers and introverted engineers — sometimes in the same Zoom call.
• An initiator of fun, fitness, and knowledge (read : the person who ensures sports day isn't just three people playing carrom).
• What will you love about the Job
• You'll be the guardian of balance between creatives, coders, and campaigners.
• You'll deal with people, processes, payroll, and… problems (plenty of them).
• You'll have the chance to actually shape culture instead of just preaching it.
• Salary arrives on time (seriously). Sarcasm is free (also seriously).
