About you:

• Your favorite childhood pastime - calculating the total cost of groceries your parents had bought before the shopkeeper did
• You dreamt of discovering divisibility rule of 7, or an algorithm to determine if a number was prime or, better still, a theorem/ formula being named after you
• While reading about gravitational constant you wondered how did Newton or any of his predecessors find out the radius of earth 
• Somewhere along the line you became vociferous reader of one or more of - business newspapers, management literature, books by corporate honchos etc. (fiction does not count). Additionally you know interesting historical facts about companies like ITC, TCS, Asian paints etc
• Last but not the least, you are technology literate

Phew, that was a long list and if you survived and continue to read this job ad, you should turn the world upside down to land this job! Your effort may reduce a bit if you have following traits

1. Driven to be master of all 

• This opportunity is calling out for intrapreneurs !! Intrapreneurs are entrepreneurs who team up with like minded companies. They grow into CEOs in future and remember CEOs know it all - finance, sales/ marketing, manufacturing, technology , HR; the list goes on.

(For example, if you work for an IT services company for a Client X . You should know inside out about your project, your customer, their competitor etc. Essentially; naturally curious)

2. Play to win

• Every young person dreams of conquering the world. Where one fails is

(a) in pushing one's limit &

(b) taking ownership for results.

You are NOT one of them. You hate it when someone says "That was wonderful effort; it is okay if you missed out on the result."

3. Pursue excellence 

• This would mean you being your biggest critique. If you are not used to finding fault with your own strategy, execution or arguments - stay away

4. Can take ambiguity/ Find their own way

• As mentioned above - we are hiring for a business which is very young. So unlike large companies where processes are set and you are told what to do, here you are only told about results. 'How? ' is something you figure out and get it done!!

Eligibility:

• Years of experience is just a number - it is the quality of experience we seek. Having said that; the younger the better - may be 2-5 years out of your grad school
• If you ever started an enterprise and persevered with it atleast for two years - you go right up the queue
• Demonstrated leadership skills (read below what it means)

About Leadership skills :

Leadership trait is often confused with ability to manage teams.  It actually means 

• being ahead of others in subject areas which are your forte
• setting yourself up to experiences
• inquisitiveness / ever learning attitude

So if you think you can get work done from others and it is not important to know your subject inside out - then this position is not for you.

What will you do: 

Be a part of the young lateral hiring team. Unlike fresher hiring where eLitmus is the Gold Standard, this is a young practice. Right from processes, technology, delivery, marketing - every thing needs to evolve. Essentially you will have to traverse the entire journey - start from caveman and evolve into a modern day human.

(Remember Bhavish, founder of Ola, ended up being a driver to a rider headed to airportin early days of company because the cab driver did not turn up!! That gives him insights which gives Ola the competitive edge)

As most of our customers are in IT, even if you come from non IT - you shall have to pick up understanding of technology.)

Why look at this opportunity :

The key ingredients to get a business started in past were - land , capital, manufacturing technology etc. In future it will be human capital !! Why future, already in few of the product companies, the salaries of Talent Acquisition Heads exceeds those of their tech counterparts / India Head !! 

Also during the fast expansion in last decade, most of the talent which has taken up recruitment as a career is sub par. So there is dearth of great talent. If one is good and knows technology then sky is the limit !! 

Not to forget; while building from scratch - learning is huge !!  One of our team members who was part of early phase (of fresher hiring) is candid that he learnt more at eLitmus than at IIM-A !! (He did MBA post leaving eLitmus)  

Compensation

• Indicative salary - 8 LPA for a 3 year experienced person but sky is limit the way incentives are structured (read next bullet)
• The great thing about this role is that your effort directly results into revenue. Incentives are structured such that 'more results you deliver - the more you earn'. So no cap on the higher side for your compensation. 

About the company:

On this site, we need no introduction. Do we? Having great colleagues means a lot to us. So will not take our reputation for granted.

We are eLitmus - a company that has changed the destiny of more than half a million techies as well as a couple of hundred companies, over its 12 years of existence. We do this by continuously using very smart methodologies and at a fraction of resources (including people) of what our well funded competitors have.

We broke the proverbial glass ceiling without a venture firm backing us and without the typical first movers advantage. And we are glad to have helped tens of thousands of you to do exactly the same.

A challenge is what we love to live upto, as a philosophy.

Having accomplished what we had set out to do in 2005, we are now looking at our next challenge – the one which takes us to the next orbit, to leverage our strength and look for new pastures and untraveled roads.
