Specially for Freshers and Graduates (or those graduating by February 2026)

1. Key Employment Details

• Working Hours: 2 PM – 11 PM IST (Night shift/Late afternoon shift).
• Key Benefits: Health Insurance and a 2-month paid sabbatical for long-term employees.

2. Roles & Responsibilities

As a Jr. HR Associate, you will not just be "screening resumes"; you will be a strategist in the recruitment process. Your tasks include:

• Active Sourcing: Identifying and "headhunting" potential candidates through various channels.
• Relationship Management: Building and nurturing long-term pipelines of talent.

• Process Improvement: Pitching new ideas to automate or improve the recruitment workflow.

3. Required Skills & Proficiency Levels

•Communication & Interpersonal Skills

• High-Level Verbal English: You must be able to conduct interviews and coordinate with hiring managers confidently.
• Professional Writing: Essential for drafting emails to candidates, providing status updates to management, and "writing OKRs" (Objectives and Key Results).
• Relationship Building: The job involves "nurturing relationships early" and building a long-term talent pipeline, not just one-time hiring.
• Persuasion & Pitching: Since they are an "experiment-first" team, you need the skill to pitch your ideas for process improvements.

2. Technical & Recruitment Skills

• Sourcing & Headhunting: Ability to find "passive" candidates (people not actively looking for jobs) through diverse channels like LinkedIn, social media, and portfolios.
• Screening & Assessment: Skill in evaluating resumes against a "strong quality bar" and managing multiple rounds of technical or behavioral assessments.
• Tech Adaptability: Comfort with using recruitment software (ATS like Greenhouse) and a high interest in building automations to make workflows more efficient.
• Project Coordination: Managing the logistics of the hiring process—tracking "blockers," timelines, and outcomes for various roles at once.

3. Cognitive & Behavioral Skills (The "Mindset")

• Relentless Attention to Detail: Mentioned specifically as a core requirement to ensure "relentless follow-up" with candidates and managers.
• Critical Thinking: The ability to look at the "bigger picture" and understand how HR enables the business rather than just ticking off daily tasks.
• Ownership & Accountability: A willingness to "own outcomes" and take on additional responsibilities in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Adaptability: Being comfortable with a 2 PM - 11 PM IST schedule and a remote work-from-home setup.

4. Experience

• Education: Must be a Fresh Graduate (Batch of 2025 or graduating Feb 2026). A BBA or MBA background is often preferred for these roles.
• Experience Level: Entry-Level/Fresher. No prior professional experience is strictly required, but a high interest in building a career in Recruitment is essential.
• Bonuses: Previous experience in a startup environment or exposure to in-house recruitment will give you a significant advantage.

Summary of the "Ideal Candidate"

Fresh Prints is looking for someone with high energy who doesn't just "tick off tasks." They want a builder—someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, enjoys experimenting with new ideas, and is ready to work in a fast-paced, "experiment-first" environment.
