What we are looking for:
We are looking for a contract recruiter who can jump into a mix of tech and non-tech searches, advise hiring managers like a real partner, and make every candidate feel looked after.
Your Responsibilities:
- Advise hiring managers: Run a real intake, pressure-test the requirements, agree on what a strong candidate looks like, and keep managers honest about market realities, timelines and pay. Give them data and a point of view, not just resumes.
- Source passive candidates:Find people who aren't looking and give them a reason to reply. That means thoughtful, personalized outreach rather than mass messages, and building pipelines in places where good candidates actually spend time.
- Provide a great candidate experience: Keep candidates informed at every stage, prep them for interviews, and follow up quickly, including with the people we don't hire.
- Own your searches end to end: Source, screen, and close candidates, while keeping Lever accurate and up to date.
- Work independently: Manage your own workload across open roles, flag risks early, and tell us what's working and what isn't.
- Help us improve: Share what you learn about the market, our process and our messaging
Your qualifications:
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, in-house, with a track record of closing searches in a fast-moving environment.
- Hands-on experience recruiting for technical roles (software engineering, data or similar).
- Proven ability to source passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, boolean search, and other channels, and to write outreaches that get replies.
- Comfort partnering with and gently pushing back on hiring managers, from first-time managers to senior leaders.
- A candidate-first mindset, shown through clear communication, fast follow-up and respect for people's time.
- Strong organization and judgment. You can juggle a mix of roles, prioritize without being told, and ask for help when you need it.
- Experience working with an ATS and keeping data clean. We use Lever.
- Experience using AI tools to speed up sourcing, scheduling or outreach, with sound judgment about where a human needs to stay in the loop.
Compensation
- The hourly rate for this contract is $55 - $63.
- The cash compensation offered for this role will be dependent on the candidate's experience, qualifications, skills, and abilities as demonstrated in the interview and hiring process.
