About Kusvaa

Kusvaa is a women-led Indian fashion brand celebrating Indias textile heritage through handblock prints and ethnic wear for women, kids, and men. With retail stores across Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and Vadodara, a fast-growing online store, and a social media community of 260K+, were scaling quickly — and hiring great people across our stores and head office is our biggest priority right now.

The Role

This is a recruitment-first HR role. Youll be our first dedicated HR hire, and your primary mandate is hiring — store managers, sales staff, and corporate teams — as we open new stores. Alongside recruitment, youll gradually build out core HR operations (onboarding, payroll inputs, policies) for the company.

What Youll Do

• Primary: Own end-to-end recruitment — sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing for retail store roles (store managers, sales staff) and corporate roles (design, marketing, operations, e-commerce)
• Build hiring pipelines for new store openings across cities — job portals, walk-ins, referrals, consultants
• Manage offer negotiation, onboarding, and documentation for all hires
• Handle payroll inputs, attendance, and leave management; support statutory compliance (PF, ESI, Shops & Establishments Act)
• Set up basic HR policies, processes, and HRMS tools as we scale
• Support employee engagement and retention initiatives across store and corporate teams

What Were Looking For

• 3–6 years of experience with strong hands-on recruitment focus, ideally as a recruiter or TA specialist who grew into HR
• Prior experience hiring for retail chain brands is a big plus — fashion, apparel, footwear, F&B, or similar multi-store consumer businesses
• Proven track record of high-volume frontline hiring (store staff) alongside corporate hiring
• Familiarity with Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed, walk-in drives, and placement consultants
• Working knowledge of basic HR operations and Indian labour compliance
• Strong communication in English and Hindi
• Based in Gurugram or Delhi NCR (fully on-site role)
• MBA/PGDM in HR preferred but not mandatory

Why Join Us

Be the founding member of the people function at one of Indias fastest-growing handcrafted fashion brands — with direct access to the founders and real ownership over how we build our team, store by store.
