CEO
Company:
TechBlocks — an engineering-led, cloud- and AI-native software services firm with GCC delivery in India and onshore leadership in North America.
Role Summary
Own TechBlocks’ global people engine with a heavy emphasis on Talent Acquisition. You will architect and run a high velocity hiring and retention machine across Canada, the U.S., and India for a multi-shore software engineering services model. This role requires a proven leader from IT services who blends executive search, large‑scale technical recruiting, vendor ecosystems, and region‑specific retention playbooks—while safeguarding cost, speed, and quality.
What You’ll Lead
Build and run a multi‑shore TA operating model (Canada/U.S. onshore + India GCC) covering product engineering, cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), data/AI, QA, DevOps, architecture, and program leadership.
Stand up 90‑day hiring sprints / pilot factories aligned to account ramps with strict SLAs (time‑to‑offer, time‑to‑start, offer‑to‑join).
Create a tiered partner network (boutiques, specialist agencies, subcontractors) for surge capacity and niche skills at short notice; negotiate rate cards and outcome‑based terms.
Drive executive hiring & talent hunting for client‑facing leaders (Client Partners, Delivery Directors, Chief Architects, Practice Heads).
Build evergreen talent communities (GitHub, Kaggle, LinkedIn, meetups, universities) and referral engines; spearhead campus + lateral pipelines in India and North America.
Implement assessment standards (tech screens, code tests, architecture cases, role simulations) with quality‑of‑hire feedback loops from Delivery.
Qualifications
10–15+ years in IT services, TA; 5+ years leading multi‑shore (US/Canada + India) talent engines.
Deep fluency in India hiring dynamics (buy‑outs, counters, notice periods, joining ratios) and North America senior‑talent markets.
Proven build‑out of GCCs / delivery centers, surge hiring for account ramps, and executive search for client‑facing leaders.
Strong vendor ecosystem management: boutiques, subcontractors, and RPOs; skilled in rate card, outcome‑based and gain‑share constructs.
Data‑driven operator: funnels, SLAs, forecasting, capacity models; expert with ATS (Greenhouse/Lever), HRIS (Workday/Bamboo), LinkedIn Recruiter, and technical assessments (Hacker Rank/Code Signal).
Cultural fluency and negotiation across India and North America; crisp executive communication with C‑suite and client leaders.
Core Competencies
Talent hunter: networks in cloud/data/AI/modern engineering; story‑seller of our EVP.
Cost & speed discipline: balances quality with commercial realities.
Partnership builder: universities, meetups, bootcamps, specialist vendors.
Change leader: designs policies that scale without killing agility.
Nice-to-Have
Experience supporting regulated/asset‑heavy clients (utilities, energy) and retail/commerce.
Familiarity with pilot‑factory or 90‑day wave models, and outcome‑based staffing constructs.
Why TechBlocks
Join an engineering‑led, AI-native services firm building platforms for blue‑chip clients. You’ll own the people engine that powers our growth across Canada, the U.S., and India.
