Coordinate with legal/HR on local employment regulations, contract types, and compliance requirements in each country. Negotiate offers and manage the closing process, accounting for local salary norms, benefits expectations, and competing offers. Track and report on recruitment metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, source effectiveness) by country. Build relationships with local recruitment agencies, staffing partners, and industry associations as needed to supplement direct sourcing. Stay current on labor market trends, salary benchmarks, and competitor hiring activity in each region. Required Qualifications 4+ years of recruiting experience, with a proven track record hiring sales talent internationally, ideally across two or more of: China, Philippines, Vietnam, India. Demonstrated experience sourcing candidates using region-specific platforms and channels (e.g., WeChat/Boss Zhipin for China, JobStreet/Kalibrr for the Philippines, VietnamWorks/TopCV for Vietnam, Naukri/LinkedIn for India). Strong understanding of local employment law basics, visa/work permit considerations, and typical compensation structures in each market. Excellent communication skills in English; proficiency in Mandarin, Tagalog, Vietnamese, or Hindi is a strong plus. Experience recruiting for quota-carrying sales roles and evaluating sales-specific competencies (pipeline generation, closing ability, negotiation skills). Comfortable working across multiple time zones and managing a high-volume, multi-country requisition load. Familiarity with an ATS (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, Workday) and standard sourcing tools (Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.). Preferred Qualifications Prior experience recruiting for a SaaS, technology, or B2B sales organization. Experience partnering with offshore/outsourced sales teams or BPO-style sales operations (especially relevant for Philippines/India markets).
