Description
Role Purpose
The Manager - Talent Acquisition & People Systems will be a hands-on operator responsible for strengthening Get Levrg's recruitment engine and building practical people systems across hiring workflows, screening rubrics, candidate tracking, onboarding handoff, HRIS/data hygiene, dashboards, and HR documentation.
This is a Manager-level role, not a Head of HR or department leader position. The person in this seat will work concurrently with the existing HR Manager - Operations, with a complementary mandate: this role focuses on talent acquisition quality, hiring process design, people systems, workflow discipline, and data visibility, while HR Operations continues to own core day-to-day employee operations.
The role requires strong people judgment, but the core differentiator is systems-level execution. Success means turning recruitment and people workflows from ad hoc coordination into repeatable, measurable operating processes that help Get Levrg hire stronger people, assign ownership clearly, and support a high-performance Bangladesh operations hub.
Key Responsibilities
1. Build the Talent Acquisition Operating System
- Build the end-to-end talent acquisition workflow from role intake through offer acceptance and onboarding handoff.
- Ensure every role has a clear business case, job value definition, hiring rubric, interview scorecard, and decision criteria before recruitment begins.
- Translate founder and department head requirements into structured hiring workflows that reduce ambiguity, improve candidate quality, and support faster decisions.
- Build repeatable processes for sourcing, screening, shortlisting, assessments, interviews, reference checks, offers, and hiring manager feedback.
- Create a consistent operating rhythm for recruitment updates, funnel reviews, hiring priorities, blockers, and decision follow-ups.
- Institutionalize a sales-like discipline in recruitment: pipeline visibility, conversion tracking, stage accountability, and clear next actions.
2. Manage Recruitment Operations & Quality-of-Hire
- Manage recruitment operations across Bangladesh for service delivery, customer success, operations, product, HR, manager-level, and other priority roles.
- Build screening rubrics that test aptitude, English comprehension, communication, professionalism, role-specific skill, and culture fit.
- Improve quality-of-hire by strengthening early screening, practical assessments, structured interviews, and hiring manager calibration.
- Identify the best sourcing channels for senior and specialized talent, including direct sourcing, referrals, agencies, professional networks, and targeted outreach.
- Manage candidate experience with timely communication, clear expectations, and professional process hygiene.
- Track funnel conversion, source quality, time-to-hire, offer acceptance, 90-day performance, and early retention to continuously improve hiring decisions.
- Partner with leaders to ensure Get Levrg hires for capability, insight, communication quality, and role fit, not only task coordination or availability.
3. Build People Systems, SOPs & Workflow Visibility
- Map current recruiting and people workflows, then help redesign priority processes for hiring, onboarding handoff, employee documentation, candidate records, lifecycle tracking, issue visibility, and manager follow-up.
- Create practical SOPs, checklists, templates, escalation rules, and service-level expectations for recurring HR processes.
- Move HR-related work away from informal task ownership and toward documented workflows with clear drivers, approvers, contributors, and informed stakeholders.
- Establish weekly and monthly operating rhythms for hiring updates, people systems implementation, candidate pipeline reviews, onboarding handoffs, workflow adoption, and leadership reporting.
- Ensure recruiting and people systems are easy for managers and HR team members to follow and do not depend on individual memory or manual chasing.
- Use workflow tools such as Monday.com, Google Workspace, Notion, Airtable, or similar systems to create operational visibility and accountability.
4. Support HRIS, ATS, People Data & Dashboarding
- Support the selection, configuration, implementation, and adoption of an HRIS, ATS, or fit-for-purpose people operations system for Bangladesh operations.
- Define requirements for employee records, leave and attendance, onboarding, offboarding, performance history, document storage, approvals, and reporting.
- Build dashboards that give leadership visibility into hiring funnel health, headcount, attrition, retention signals, onboarding completion, HR operations SLAs, and performance process adoption.
- Create data standards so employee records, hiring trackers, compensation records, performance documents, and HR files are accurate, current, and easy to access.
- Reduce manual HR administration through templates, automation, workflow configuration, and stronger data discipline.
- Help ensure the HRIS, ATS, or operating system becomes the single source of truth for candidate data, people data, and lifecycle workflows.
5. Support KPI-Driven Onboarding, Performance & Capability Building
- Partner with leadership and HR Operations to define role expectations, scorecards, KPIs, check-in rhythms, and performance documentation standards across functions.
- Support the creation of role definitions, leveling inputs, career pathway documentation, and promotion logic that help employees understand expectations and growth paths.
- Build structured onboarding handoff programs that help new hires become role-ready within the first 30, 60, and 90 days.
- Help managers use KPIs effectively for coaching, feedback, accountability, PIPs, promotions, and performance calibration, in partnership with HR Operations.
- Identify retention risks early by tracking manager feedback, performance signals, engagement trends, attendance patterns, and employee concerns.
- Create practical training and enablement workflows in partnership with HR Operations and functional leaders, especially where SOP adherence and capability building are critical.
6. Support HR Team Responsibility Mapping & DACI Adoption
- Help assess the current HR team's strengths, skillsets, workflow ownership, and role fit against the new Talent Acquisition & People Systems model.
- Identify where responsibilities should be clarified, reassigned, redesigned, supported, or elevated based on actual capability and business need.
- Build and maintain a DACI matrix across priority HR and recruiting workflows to define Drivers, Approvers, Contributors, and Informed stakeholders.
- Use the DACI matrix to reduce overlap, close ownership gaps, and clarify how this role works alongside the HR Manager - Operations.
- Support HR team members in adopting stronger process discipline, documentation hygiene, follow-through, communication, and internal customer service.
- Surface capability gaps clearly to leadership and recommend whether gaps should be solved through training, reassignment, external support, or future hiring.
7. Partner with HR Operations on Compliance, Employee Relations & Policy Workflows
- Partner with the HR Manager - Operations to ensure people workflows remain compliant, well-documented, and consistent with Bangladesh employment requirements, while using external experts where specialized legal or compliance depth is required.
- Coordinate with HR Operations, Finance, Operations, leadership, and external HR or compliance partners on documentation, employee records, contracts, disciplinary process tracking, and policy implementation workflows.
- Handle sensitive employee or candidate matters with maturity, discretion, fairness, and documentation discipline when involved in the process.
- Help operationalize policies into usable workflows so managers and employees know what to do, when to escalate, and who owns the decision.
- Support consistent employee relations workflows, including issue tracking, documentation support, manager coordination, and escalation visibility, while HR Operations remains the primary day-to-day owner.
- Ensure policies are not only written, but adopted through communication, training, workflow design, and accountability.
8. Partner with Founders, COO, Department Leaders & HR Operations
- Act as a systems and recruiting partner to leadership on talent acquisition, people systems, onboarding readiness, performance enablement, HR workflow visibility, and workforce planning inputs.
- Convert leadership direction into executable workflows, trackers, dashboards, SOPs, scorecards, and accountability routines.
- Advise department heads on role clarity, hiring requirements, assessment design, onboarding readiness, and people risk signals.
- Provide concise updates that highlight decisions needed, risks, bottlenecks, trade-offs, and recommended next actions.
- Bring a builder mindset to HR by continuously identifying where process, data, ownership, or systems can improve speed, quality, and decision-making without creating unnecessary overlap with HR Operations.
