Thejus (TJ) — Recruiter
Founding recruiter and people experience partner with a track record of building teams from scratch, scaling with intent, and keeping the hiring process human. I’ve helped scale two startups from early teams to over 100+ employees, designing end-to-end hiring processes that balance speed, quality, and candidate experience. At Fairmatic, I lead hiring across engineering, product, design, HR, and leadership roles while also shaping everything around it — from process design and interview structure to hiring manager and candidate satisfaction programs. Highlights include: Scaling the team 10x while maintaining high-quality hiring standards. Designing hiring systems from scratch, including interview prep kits, recruiter screening formats, and internal recruiting playbooks. Launching Hiring Manager Satisfaction and Candidate Experience surveys, with a consistent 4.2+ rating. Setting up the Bangalore office and partnering with IT, finance, and ops to build scalable people systems. Before that, I was the first recruiter at Sense India, closing 50 hires in 3 months and scaling the team from 11 to 115+. I also supported onboarding, IT, and employee engagement, earning the Star Debut award. I began my career at Belong, closing 27+ internal hires and later hiring 50+ engineers for clients as a talent partner. That’s where I learned how to fail fast, bounce back, and keep growing. I thrive in fast-paced environments, partnering closely with hiring managers, fixing messy processes, and making recruitment a strategic advantage. Prior to this, I was the first recruiter at Sense India, where I closed 50 hires in 3 months and helped scale the team to over 100+. I also pitched in on onboarding, IT, and engagement — wearing many hats and loving the chaos of early-stage life. I started my journey at Belong, closing roles internally and later hiring 50+ engineers for clients as a recruiter and talent partner. This is where I learned how to fail fast, bounce back, and keep learning. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I get to partner closely with people, fix messy processes, and make hiring smoother for everyone involved. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing out new intellection. 😊
