HR Specialist

About Housy
Housy is building India’s fastest premium home services brand — Quality House Help in Minutes, full-stack tech, and obsessive execution. This is not a marketplace. This is an operating system for urban households.
Unlike every other player in this space, we don’t do gig. We employ our professionals, pay them well, train them properly, and hold ourselves accountable for their growth. That makes HR at Housy fundamentally different.

Role Overview
We’re hiring an HR Specialist who can build people operations from scratch for a company that’s scaling fast.
You’ll handle everything — from hiring engineers and designers to managing the unique HR needs of a growing team of employed cleaning professionals. You’re not managing spreadsheets. You’re building the people engine that powers a premium service brand.
This is a foundational role. You’ll design the systems, culture, and processes that define Housy as an employer — for both the office and the field.
───
What You’ll Own
End-to-end recruitment: corporate roles (engineers, designers, ops) + field roles (cleaning professionals, hub managers)
Hiring pipelines at scale — sourcing, screening, documentation, onboarding
HR operations: attendance, leave policies, payroll coordination, compliance, records
Employee engagement, feedback loops, and retention strategies
Workforce planning and coordination with ops teams
───
Key Responsibilities
Design and run high-volume hiring pipelines across corporate and field teams
Ensure statutory compliance: PF, ESI, professional tax, labour law adherence
Build onboarding programs that get new hires productive from Day 1
Manage grievance resolution, disciplinary processes, and performance systems
Coordinate with operations on shift scheduling, attendance, and workforce planning
Create a culture that treats every team member — office or field — with dignity and respect
───
Required Skills (Non-Negotiable)
2–4 years HR experience, ideally at a startup or company with both white-collar and field workforce
Experience with high-volume hiring (50+ hires/month)
Strong understanding of Indian labour laws and statutory requirements
Hands-on with HRMS tools, payroll systems, attendance management
Fluency in Hindi and Marathi strongly preferred
Empathetic, people-first approach — you’ll work with people from diverse backgrounds
───
Bonus (Huge Plus)
Experience at quick commerce or hyperlocal companies (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy, Urban Company)
Experience building HR ops from 0 → 1
Founder-mindset: you care about outcomes, not just processes
───
What This Is NOT
Not a corporate HR role where you process paperwork and send birthday emails.
Not a recruitment agency approach of spray-and-pray.
This is a build-the-people-engine-from-zero role.
