Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Almond Books Full time ₹ 2,40,000 - ₹ 3,00,000 per year

About Almond Books

Almond Books is a leading educational publisher dedicated to creating high-quality, exam-focused resources that empower students to achieve academic excellence. As we continue to expand our team and our impact, we are looking for a foundational HR leader to help us build a world-class team and foster a thriving company culture.

HR Specialist

This is not a typical HR role. We are seeking a dynamic HR Specialist who will wear two critical hats: HR Business Partner and Talent Acquisition Lead. You will be responsible for both attracting the best talent to our company and ensuring they are supported, engaged, and empowered once they join. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape the people-operations function from the ground up.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist (approx. 50%):

  • Full-Cycle Recruiting: You will own the entire recruitment process for all departments—from writing compelling job descriptions and sourcing top talent to conducting interviews, negotiating offers, and closing candidates.
  • Strategic Sourcing: Develop and execute innovative sourcing strategies to build a strong pipeline of candidates for current and future roles, utilizing platforms like LinkedIn, talent portals, and professional networks.
  • Partnership: Work closely with hiring managers to understand their team's needs, define role requirements, and build a seamless and effective hiring process.
  • Candidate Experience: Act as the primary point of contact for candidates, ensuring a positive, professional, and engaging experience from the first touchpoint to their start date.

As an HR Business Partner (approx. 50%):

  • Employee Lifecycle Management: You will be the go-to person for our team, managing everything from onboarding and performance management to employee relations and offboarding.
  • Policy & Process Development: Help create, implement, and refine HR policies and procedures that support our remote-first culture and ensure compliance with Indian labour laws.
  • Culture Champion: Drive employee engagement initiatives, gather feedback, and help us build a supportive, collaborative, and high-performing remote work environment.
  • HR Operations: Manage day-to-day HR administration, address employee queries, and maintain employee records.

Who We're Looking For

This role is ideal for a versatile HR professional who is passionate about both people and process, and thrives in a fast-paced environment.

Required Qualifications:

  • A minimum of 2 years of full-time experience in a hybrid HR role that includes both HR Generalist/Business Partner and Talent Acquisition responsibilities.
  • Demonstrated success in managing a full-cycle recruitment process across various roles and seniority levels.
  • A strong understanding of core HR functions, best practices, and Indian labour laws.
  • Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and relationship-building skills.
  • High emotional intelligence, with the ability to handle sensitive situations with empathy and confidentiality.
  • Proactive, highly organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities independently in a remote setting.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience working in a startup, EdTech, or publishing company.
  • Familiarity with modern HRIS and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send their resume and a cover letter to with the subject line "HR Specialist Application - [Your Name]" and/or apply on Indeed.
