Job description

Senior Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist

Role Title: Senior Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist

Reports To: CHRO

Location: 100% Remote (Global / Core overlap with CET/European business hours)

1. Role Purpose & Business Impact

VECTRA International operates at the intersection of enterprise sustainability assurance and cutting-edge software engineering. To support rapid technical builds and client platform deployments, we require an elite Lead Global Technical Recruiter .

This role is responsible for driving full-lifecycle technical recruitment across international jurisdictions (Europe, South Asia, Middle East, Americas, and beyond). You will partner directly with executive leadership, technical architects, and delivery leads to source, screen, and close high-caliber technical contractors—including Lead AI Systems Architects, RAG/LLM Engineers, Data & Scraping Specialists, Cloud Infrastructure/DevOps Engineers, and Enterprise Full-Stack Developers.

Operating in a rapid-deployment environment, you will move beyond superficial keyword matching to conduct rigorous preliminary technical screenings, evaluate real architectural depth and maintain an active global talent pipeline capable of standing up engineering swarms on short notice.

End-to-End Global Technical Sourcing & Pipeline Strategy

Cross-Border Talent Acquisition: Source, attract, and engage top-tier engineering talent globally across cost-effective, high-skill regions (e.g., Eastern/Western Europe, India, Pakistan, UAE, Latin America).

Deep-Tech Candidate Sourcing: Actively hunt for niche technical profiles using advanced outbound sourcing methods (GitHub, Stack Overflow, Wellfound, technical Discords/Slacks, specialized talent marketplaces, and Boolean search strings).

Pre-Vetted Technical Bench: Build and maintain an active "warm bench" of vetted talents, allowing VECTRA to deploy engineering swarms within 5 to 7 business days of new project authorizations.

Technical Assessment & Candidate Screening

Skill & Architecture Verification: Conduct structured initial technical evaluations to test for genuine implementation depth versus surface-level prompt engineering. Verify hands-on experience in:

AI/LLM Engineering: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate), local LLM inference engines (vLLM, Ollama), and model fine-tuning.

Data & Scraping Infrastructure: ETL/ELT data pipelines, distributed web scraping (Scrapy, Selenium, Playwright), and data normalization.

Backend & Systems: Scalable microservices (Python, Node.js/TypeScript, Go), relational schemas (PostgreSQL), and RESTful/GraphQL API engineering.

DevOps & Cloud: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and European GDPR/data sovereignty compliance.

Communication & Remote Discipline Vetting: Screen candidates for executive-level English proficiency, asynchronous remote working habits, proactive ownership, and collaborative integrity.

Hiring Velocity, Metrics & Stakeholder Management

Technical Stakeholder Alignment: Partner in real time with technical evaluation leads to calibrate role requirements, debrief interviews, and eliminate hiring bottlenecks.

ATS & Pipeline Hygiene: Own the candidate workflow in the recruitment tracking system (Zoho Recruit), maintaining real-time visibility on pipeline conversion metrics, time-to-fill, and sourcing-channel ROI.

Requirements

. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Time-to-Shortlist (Speed): Present 3–5 qualified, pre-screened technical profiles within 72 hours of role release.

Time-to-Offer Acceptance: Complete technical vetting, panel sign-offs, and signed SOW execution within 10 to 14 business days.

Screening Calibration Ratio: 80% of candidates submitted to technical panel advance to final technical interview stages.

Contractor Retention & Quality: 90% of placed talent meet or exceed initial 30/60-day delivery milestones without early termination.

Budget Adherence: 100% of placed candidates secured within approved project rate cards and margin boundaries.

4. Candidate Profile & Qualifications

Essential Qualifications & Experience

4+ Years in Technical Recruitment: Proven track record recruiting software engineers, data engineers, infrastructure leads, and technical project managers.

2+ Years Dedicated Deep-Tech & AI Sourcing: Demonstrated focus hiring for Generative AI, RAG architectures, machine learning, data engineering, and cloud platforms.

Global / International Hiring Expertise: Verifiable experience managing multi-country, cross-border recruitment across Europe, South Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas.

Technical Literacy: Ability to speak the language of engineers. You must understand the difference between API wrappers and custom model deployment, relational vs. vector databases, and monolithic vs. event-driven architectures.

Language & Communication: Flawless professional English (both verbal and written); executive presence when pitching senior technical leaders.

Desirable / Advantageous Skills

Prior experience in high-growth startups, agile technical consulting agencies, or boutique technology professional services firms.

Hands-on familiarity with tools such as Zoho Recruit, LinkedIn Recruiter, and modern sourcing automations.
