ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a hands‑on Senior Technical Recruiter to join our growing Talent team. In this role, you’ll take ownership of the entire recruiting lifecycle for engineering, product, and other technical roles — from sourcing and screening to closing exceptional candidates.

You’ll partner closely with technical hiring managers and leaders to deeply understand our technology, culture, and hiring needs, ensuring we attract top‑tier talent who raise the bar. If you thrive in a fast‑moving startup environment, love building relationships with technical talent, and have a knack for spotting potential beyond the resume, we’d love to meet you.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own full‑cycle technical recruiting for roles across Engineering, Product, and related technical teams — from sourcing through offer acceptance.

• Build and manage strong talent pipelines using sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, and GitHub.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, interview processes, and evaluation criteria.

• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience through clear communication, prompt follow‑up, and authentic representation of our culture.

• Run efficient interview processes — scheduling, feedback collection, and pipeline updates — ensuring hiring velocity without sacrificing quality.

• Negotiate offers and close candidates with a deep understanding of market compensation, motivators, and team fit.

• Stay current on tech talent market trends, emerging sourcing strategies, and competitive intelligence to continually improve our approach.

• Collaborate with the Director of Talent Acquisition to optimize recruiting operations, processes, and tools to support scale.

• Drive strategic sourcing initiatives and experiment with new channels to expand access to high‑caliber technical talent.

• Maintain accurate recruiting metrics and reports to track progress and identify areas for improvement.

• Mentor junior recruiters or interviewers on best practices to uplift hiring quality across the company.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 5‑7 years of full‑cycle recruiting experience with a focus on product, design and engineering.

• Proven ability to source, engage, and close technical talent in a competitive market.
  Experience working in a high‑growth or startup environment, comfortable with shifting priorities and fast execution.

• Proficient with sourcing tools and creative sourcing techniques and familiarity with ATS platforms like Ashby is a plus.

• Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and able to manage multiple requisitions efficiently.
  Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build trust with both candidates and hiring teams.

• Creative problem solver who proactively identifies ways to improve candidate pipelines and hiring outcomes.

• Curious and adaptable, always exploring new recruiting techniques and tools.

NICE TO HAVES

• Experience recruiting for SaaS or AI/tech companies.

• Knowledge of the Canadian tech talent landscape and compensation trends.

• Experience supporting both high‑volume and specialized technical searches.

WHY JOIN SPELLBOOK?

• Embrace autonomy and accountability in a flexible work environment; we focus on outcomes and empower you to determine how to get the job done.

• Access our company‑paid group benefits for you and your family, with $1,000 towards mental health support.

• Disconnect during our holiday closure and take advantage of our generous time off policies throughout the year.

• Enjoy monthly paid meals, an annual wellness allowance to support your well‑being and parental leave top‑ups as your family grows.

• Secure your stake in our success; you’ll receive competitive stock option grants as a pivotal early employee.
