underrepresented groups through structured NGO, skilling institute, and community partnerships.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. D&I Hiring & NGO Partnership Management
• Build, manage, and grow a network of NGO, skilling, and civil society partners who work with
underrepresented groups — women from low-income households, PwD, ex-servicemen, urban migrants, and first-generation job seekers.
• Serve as the primary relationship manager for all NGO and inclusion hiring partners — conduct quarterly
reviews, maintain MoUs, track candidate flows, and report outcomes.
• Co-design and execute targeted placement drives with NGO partners at their community centres, skilling hubs, shelter homes, and training institutes.

2. Frontline & Volume Hiring
• Own end-to-end recruitment for Crew Members, Kitchen Operators, Delivery Executives, Store Captains, and Shift Supervisors across Curefoods brands in Bengaluru.
• Plan and execute walk-in drives, community job melas, and on-ground hiring events — particularly at NGO - facilitated venues, ITIs, vocational training centres, and community hubs.
• Manage a high-volume pipeline with targets of 20–50 joiners per month, with a minimum 40% of hires from D&I priority segments.
• Handle offer rollout, documentation, background verification coordination, and Day-1 joining formalities for all frontline hires.
• Maintain ATS (Fountain or equivalent) with real-time candidate tracking, D&I tagging, and NGO source attribution.
3. Inclusive Sourcing & Outreach
• Source candidates through Apna, WorkIndia, iMerit, SMILE Foundation, Genpact Puthri, Nudge Foundations, Heroes, and other DI-focused platforms and communities.
• Coordinate with vocational training institutes (ITIs, Jan Shikshan Sansthan, NSDC partners) for pre-placed
candidate pipelines.
• Represent Curefoods at D&I employer forums, inclusion hiring conclaves, and civil society events to build brand visibility as an employer of choice for under-represented groups.
4. Stakeholder & Brand Alignment
• Partner with brand HR SPOCs and area managers to forecast D&I hiring needs and align timelines with outlet expansion and seasonal ramp-up.
• Work with the People Experience team on referral incentives, joining bonuses, and D&I-specific retention
nudges for the frontline workforce.
• Collaborate with Marketing and Employer Branding teams to produce D&I-focused content for Curefoods hiring channels and LinkedIn.
