Description du poste

About Prelude

Prelude is redefining how companies authenticate and onboard users - turning what's traditionally a cost center into a growth lever.

Our flagship product lets businesses send OTP codes with the best price-to-conversion ratio on the market, dynamically selecting the most effective channel in real time (optimized SMS, WhatsApp, and more) while actively blocking spam and fraud that legacy providers miss.

Founded in 2022 by former Zenly team members who lived the pain of broken SMS authentication firsthand, we're already serving fast-growing companies across Europe and are expanding into the US.

But authentication is only the starting point - we're building the platform for trust at scale, with an ambitious roadmap of market-defining products ahead.

Why join us

Today, we're a team of 60 and growing, based in Paris, building products that power secure and high-performance user onboarding for companies across the world. We believe small, highly skilled teams outperform large, fragmented organizations, and we are intentional about staying focused on impact, quality, and speed.

We operate with a flat org structure and value in-person collaboration, which helps ideas move faster, decisions stay grounded, and teams take full ownership of what they build.

Our values

Care

We care deeply about our customers, our teammates, and the quality and reliability of what we ship.

Bias for Action

We move fast, test in the real world, and iterate quickly rather than over-optimizing in theory.

Ownership

We take responsibility end to end, from identifying problems to delivering outcomes and learning from results.

About the role

We're looking for a hands-on, autonomous technical recruiter freelancer who can own the full recruitment process from sourcing to closing, with a specific focus on Engineering and Product teams, while having some room to support other roles across the company as needed. You'll partner directly with founders and hiring managers to define hiring strategy, drive sourcing efforts, continuously improve recruitment efficiency, and deliver a great candidate experience.

What you'll do

• Full-cycle recruiting for Engineering and Product roles, from defining the search with the hiring manager to creating an outbound strategy and closing the offer. Comfortable stepping in on other roles when the team needs additional support.
• Partner with hiring managers for the intake calls to define needs and structured interview processes with clear scorecards that have a real business sense
• Advise on compensation benchmarking and hiring strategy
• Build and manage a strong, structured pipeline through multiple sources
• Spot gaps in our hiring process and proactively fix them with efficient solutions
• Own TA metrics, funnel analysis, and reporting to have informed decisions
• Update the ATS to ensure data cleanliness and accurate reporting/forecasting

About you

• You have 4 to 7 years of experience as a recruiter, with a proven record of hiring for tech and product roles
• Experience recruiting for a SaaS or tech company, ideally in a startup or another fast-paced environment.
• Strong stakeholder management, being able to discover the hiring manager's real needs, push back, maintain constant communication, and manage expectations by sharing market insights
• Strong sourcing capabilities, able to think outside of the box to bring in talent; you'll craft your outbound messaging for the highest response rates and engagement
• You work best in a fast-paced environment, maintaining high motivation and resilience
• Have a structured, data-driven approach to recruitment
• Genuine interest in providing the best candidate experience possible
• Great product understanding and business acumen.
• Ideally, some exposure to international hiring
• Excellent ability to work in English
