About SwayamWhere

SwayamWhere is a modern Indian matrimony platform built for people who want safety, clarity and values-aligned matches —without losing the warmth of families and traditions.

We’re building a space where :

Profiles are verified ,
Expectations are clear , and
The journey from “I” to “Us” feels like coming home, not losing yourself.

We’re now looking for our founding HR & People Operations Lead to help us build a thoughtful, people-first culture as we scale.

What you’ll own

1. Hiring & Talent Acquisition

Own end-to-end hiring for tech, product, marketing, and operations roles

Draft JD’s, post roles, screen profiles, schedule interviews

Design a structured, bias-aware interview process

Build and manage a strong talent pipeline via , referrals, and communities

2. People Operations & Culture

Set up HR policies, handbooks, and basic HR systems for a growing startup

Drive onboarding & offboarding that feels human, clear, and respectful

Create simple, transparent processes around leave, performance, and feedback

Help founders shape a culture of respect, clarity, and accountability

3. Compliance & Documentation

Maintain employee records and HR documentation

Coordinate with founders / CA for contracts, NDAs, and basic HR compliance

Support in drafting offer letters, consultant agreements, and internship letters

4. Engagement & Well-being

Run simple but meaningful rituals : check-ins, 1 : 1s, town halls, feedback loops

Keep a pulse on team morale and proactively flag issues

Help design small initiatives around learning, recognition, and team bonding

You’ll be a great fit if you :

Have 2–6 years of experience in HR / Talent / People Ops (startup or tech preferred)

Are comfortable owning both hiring + day-to-day HR ops

Communicate clearly, calmly, and respectfully—even under pressure

Enjoy building processes from scratch instead of just following existing ones

Are comfortable working in a fast-moving, early-stage startup

Care about people, boundaries, mental health and fairness at work

Are okay working with some ambiguity while things are still being built

Nice-to-have (but not mandatory)

Experience hiring for tech / product / marketing roles

Prior experience in an early-stage startup

Familiarity with HR tools (ATS, HRMS, Recruiter, etc.)

What we offer

Opportunity to be an early team member at a high-potential consumer startup

A chance to shape the culture, not just manage it

Flexible, trust-based working environment

Direct access and collaboration with the founding team

Growth opportunities as the team and company scale
