Job description

Randstad, the world’s leading partner for talent, is expanding our Digital Specialty team in Toronto. We are looking for an ambitious, high-performing Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for permanent IT and digital roles.

In this role, you won't be micro-managed or expected to just "take orders". You will operate as a true talent advisor and strategic partner to our clients and internal stakeholders.If you bring an agency hustle, a drive for uncapped earning potential, and the ability to operate with complete accountability, this desk is built for you.

What You Get to Do:

• Full-Desk Ownership: Drive end-to-end recruitment for permanent IT and digital positions.

• Manage High Requisition Volume: Successfully manage, prioritize, and execute 7 to 10 active requisitions concurrently with minimal supervision.

• Act as a Strategic Advisor: Partner directly with hiring managers and account leaders to shape recruitment strategies, set market expectations, and advocate for candidates.

• Targeted Sourcing: Proactively source, screen, and build pipelines for niche, hard-to-fill technical skill sets using creative sourcing strategies.

• Offer & Closing Management: Consult candidates through the entire interview lifecycle, managing compensation expectations, offer negotiations, and closings.

• Market Expertise: Stay ahead of IT industry trends, compensation benchmarks, and talent market conditions to guide client decision-making.

What You Need to Bring:

• 3 to 5 years of technical recruitment experience, ideally coming from a boutique or agency staffing environment.

• Deep experience recruiting across various IT, tech, and digital skill sets.

• A high-ownership mentality—someone who is independent, accountable, and thrives on speed and delivery.

• Strong drive to maximize earnings through performance-based commission rather than relying solely on base pay.

• Proven track record of managing high requisition loads in a fast-paced setting without requiring daily hand-holding.

• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and candidate/client management skills.

What’s in it for You:

• Competitive Compensation: Base salary + uncapped commission structure designed for top producers.

• Autonomy & Trust: Complete freedom to run your desk with full support, but zero micro-management.

• Flexible Work Model: Hybrid work environment with home office setup reimbursements.

• Comprehensive Benefits: Wellness spending accounts, ergonomic reimbursement, and immediate health/dental coverage.

• Time Off: 3 weeks (15 days) paid vacation in your first 12 months, plus additional care days.

• Top Workplace Culture: Join an organization named one of Canada's Best Workplaces by Great Place to Work® for over 10 consecutive years.

Pay Rate: $ 50,000 - $ 70,000 Annually

The listed pay range includes base salary and, if the role is eligible, a reasonable estimate of expected variable commission pay potential. Note that commission varies based on performance, the successful and commission eligible candidate may earn amounts higher than this range.

At Randstad, we know employees that are cared for holistically have the confidence to bring their fullest potential to work, so we make investments in our people.

The pay offered to a successful candidate will be based on several factors including, as applicable, the candidate's education, work experience, work location, specific job duties, certifications, etc. Based on eligibility, a successful candidate's total compensation may include a variable pay plan including bonus(es) and/or commission(s). In setting compensation, Randstad complies with all local wage and hour laws.

In addition, Randstad offers rich learning and development opportunities, an RRSP, a health spending account, and comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance to uniquely fit your needs.

A stock purchase plan is also offered through a Dutch foundation, Stichting Randstad Optiefonds.
