Talent Acquisition Specialist

Summary

OKX is a crypto exchange and developer of OKX Wallet and other blockchain products. The company is seeking a Talent Acquisition Specialist to own proactive, top-of-funnel sourcing and build talent pipelines across the US, LATAM, and APAC, with a strong focus on APAC. The role includes talent mapping, candidate engagement, stakeholder partnership, sourcing analytics, pipeline nurturing, and employer brand support.

Responsibilities

• Own top-of-funnel sourcing across US, LATAM, and APAC. Build and execute multi-channel sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean and X-ray search, GitHub, Behance, Dribbble, Telegram, Discord, WeChat, Maimai, BOSS Zhipin, referrals, alumni networks, and crypto-native communities
• Serve as the sourcing engine for APAC hiring. Develop deep talent maps across key hubs — Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, and India — and build region-specific outreach strategies that account for local platforms, languages, notice periods, and compensation norms
• Produce competitor org maps, talent availability reports, and compensation benchmarks by region. Translate market data into practical guidance that shapes role scoping, level calibration, and hiring plans
• Write and test outreach that gets replies. Own the candidate experience from first touch through handoff, running screens that assess motivation, mobility, and fit while keeping candidates warm through long hiring cycles
• Build and maintain evergreen pipelines and talent communities for recurring and hard-to-fill roles. Keep silver-medalist and passive-candidate pools active so we are never starting from zero when a req opens
• Partner with recruiters, hiring managers, and regional HR teams across time zones. Run intake and calibration sessions, share pipeline reviews, and set realistic expectations grounded in market reality
• Track and report on sourcing funnel metrics — outreach volume, response rate, screen-to-submit, submit-to-onsite, and pipeline health by region. Use the data to redirect effort toward the channels that convert
• Represent OKX to passive talent. Support regional recruiting events, meetups, and community engagement, and help position OKX as the destination employer in crypto across every market you cover

Skills

• 3+ years of full-lifecycle recruiting or dedicated sourcing experience, with a demonstrable track record of building pipelines from scratch rather than working inbound applicant flow
• Experience recruiting across multiple regions and time zones, ideally including US and LATAM alongside APAC
• Advanced sourcing toolkit: Boolean and X-ray search, LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, portfolio platforms, and region-specific channels. Comfortable finding talent where it is not looking for you
• Strong written outreach skills — you can craft personalized, high-response messaging at volume
• Proficiency with Applicant Tracking Systems and sourcing CRMs; disciplined about data hygiene and pipeline tracking
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
• Hands-on APAC sourcing experience strongly preferred — you have hired into at least one major APAC market and understand its platforms, candidate behavior, and hiring norms
• Crypto, Web3, or fintech recruiting experience
• Additional language capability relevant to APAC markets (Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Bahasa)
• Experience building talent communities or running sourcing jams and hiring events
