Talent Acquisition Associate - Startup HR Career Growth in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This is an entry-to-junior level recruitment role at Fresh Prints, a fast-growing US-based company with offshore teams in India and the Philippines. It's a solid launchpad for those looking to break into talent acquisition or formalize early HR experience.
Compensation context: At $440/month, this is below global market rates for recruitment roles but is positioned for the Philippine labor market, where it can be competitive for fresh graduates or early-career professionals. As a benchmark, Philippine BPO-adjacent roles often range $300–$700/month depending on experience.
Skills you'll develop:
- Full-cycle recruiting: sourcing, screening, coordination, and stakeholder management
- Automation-augmented workflows (50% of processes are automated — exposure to modern HR tech)
- Startup recruitment at scale — a highly transferable skillset for future in-house or agency roles
Green flags: The team's experiment-first culture, automation adoption, and clear ownership model suggest a growth-minded environment. The 2-month paid sabbatical signals genuine investment in employee retention.
Watch out for: The "take on additional responsibilities" language is common in startups but can mean scope creep. The night shift hours (3 PM – midnight PHT) may also affect work-life balance over time. Fresh graduates are explicitly welcome, which lowers the barrier to entry but also suggests the role may be junior with limited immediate upward trajectory — though fast-growing companies often promote quickly from within.
Be part of a high-performing Recruitment team at one of America's fastest growing companies
We're a strong team of dedicated talent specialists spread across India and the Philippines. We've hired and retained over 400 employees in the past few years and learned a ton along the way — what scales, what breaks, and what truly moves the needle.
We're an experiment-first team. We don't flinch at ideas, we love them. Have a compelling idea? Pitch it. We'll run with it. We're equally big on learning and iteration, and today, nearly 50% of our workflows are automated, freeing our talent associates to focus on strategy and execution.
Now, we're looking for strategists who execute — people who go beyond ticking off daily tasks and think about the bigger picture:
- How can HR enable the business?
- How can HR better support the Executive Team?
- How can HR lead world-class talent acquisition that creates a seamless experience for candidates and hiring managers?
If this sounds exciting, and you have the energy to build, experiment, and own outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.
