Job description

Join to apply for the Talent Acquisition Lead role at BJAK

At BJAK, we believe world-class products start with world-class people.

We’re expanding our talent footprint and looking for a Lead, Talent Acquisition (Malaysia) to drive and scale our hiring efforts across Malaysia — and support regional growth across Southeast Asia.

In this strategic role, you’ll take full ownership of end-to-end recruitment for Malaysia-based and cross-border roles, partnering closely with business leaders across engineering, AI, operations, and other high-growth functions. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the quality and velocity of our hires — identifying, attracting, and closing top-tier, mission-aligned talent who will help us build the future of financial access across the region.

What You’ll Do

  • Own full-cycle hiring across diverse business functions, with a strong focus on tech, product, and leadership roles.
  • Act as a talent quality gatekeeper — screening beyond resumes to identify high-potential individuals.
  • Proactively source exceptional candidates via platforms, communities, networks, and creative sourcing strategies.
  • Partner closely with hiring managers to understand business needs, define role scopes, and co-design effective hiring processes.
  • Conduct insightful interviews that uncover both skill and cultural fit.
  • Provide structured feedback to candidates and internal teams to drive data-informed hiring decisions.
  • Ensure an exceptional candidate experience through transparent communication and timely engagement.
  • Manage and continuously improve the hiring funnel through ATS usage and recruitment analytics.
  • Stay ahead of talent market trends in Malaysia and the region to shape proactive hiring strategies.

What We’re Looking For

  • You see recruiting as more than filling roles — you’re building winning, aligned teams.
  • You’re independent, resourceful, and relentless in sourcing and closing top talent.
  • You thrive in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments and challenge the norm with data and insight.
  • You care deeply about candidate experience, and know how to balance speed with quality.
  • You have strong emotional intelligence and sound judgment, assessing beyond technical skills.
  • You’re market-savvy, outcome-driven, and motivated by impact.
  • You’ll Excel in This Role If You…

  • Have a sharp eye for exceptional talent and potential beyond what’s on paper.
  • Are highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple pipelines efficiently.
  • Communicate clearly and confidently with stakeholders and candidates.
  • Love to build, optimize, and refine recruitment playbooks and processes.
  • Take full ownership from first outreach to offer stage.
  • Move fast, but thoughtfully — balancing quality and urgency at all times.
  • Requirements

  • 4+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience, ideally within tech, startup, or growth-stage environments.
  • Proven track record hiring across multiple functions and levels.
  • Deep familiarity with modern sourcing tools, ATS platforms, and best practices.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.
  • Nice to Have

  • Experience hiring in AI, product, or software engineering functions.
  • Knowledge of Malaysia’s talent landscape, job boards, and professional networks.
  • Exposure to employer branding or recruitment marketing.
  • Familiarity with regional hiring across Southeast Asia.
  • Experience working in a remote-first or hybrid environment.
  • Why Join BJAK?

  • Competitive above-market compensation
  • Fully remote with high ownership and autonomy
  • A mission with real-world impact
  • Flat, collaborative culture that values ideas over hierarchy
  • Rapid growth and leadership exposure
  • A chance to shape the future of financial access across Asia
