Why This Role Matters

We don’t want just a recruiter. We want a builder. A networker. A talent magnet.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives on 0→1 challenges —building talent acquisition functions from scratch, spotting high-caliber individuals, and convincing them to join bold new ventures. You’ll not only shape hiring for KGK but also for deep research, tech, and startup-style initiatives where the stakes are high and only the best talent will do.

If you’re joining for the brand and stability, this role isn’t for you. If you’re motivated by creating, experimenting, and being trusted to deliver at the highest level without hand-holding , then read on.

Role Overview

As Talent Acquisition Lead , you’ll be responsible for bringing in the top minds across technology, AI, manufacturing, and research. This means executive-level and niche hiring only —finding people who “think different,” who can build, and who thrive in unstructured, fast-paced environments.

You’ll need to combine creativity, extroversion, and sharp business judgment with the ability to run a world-class candidate experience. You will be trusted with autonomy, and high expectations will be placed on your delivery.
