Together, we provide talent acquisition services to fit the unique hiring challenges of our clients. Whether they need help building recruiting processes, attracting top talent, or payrolling contractors, we can help.

Responsibilities

• Source and attract top technical talent using various channels, including LinkedIn, job boards, and professional networks.
• Conduct initial screenings and interviews to assess candidates' qualifications and cultural fit.
• Collaborate with hiring managers to understand job requirements and create compelling job descriptions.
• Develop and implement innovative sourcing strategies to build a strong pipeline of engineering candidates.
• Utilize Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and recruitment tools to streamline the hiring process.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of recruiting experience is ideal.
• Sourcing-only is acceptable - this does not need to be a seasoned full-cycle closer.
• “Lighter” experience can work if shown strong general cognitive ability, clear learning velocity, and real passion for recruiting + tech.
• Core requirement: engineering hiring exposure
• Must have experience hiring or sourcing engineers (software preferred; adjacent technical roles acceptable if the candidate can translate).
• Ability to quickly learn role requirements and identify signal in resumes/LinkedIn profiles (titles, scope, tech stack indicators, project impact, progression).
• Backgrounds that fit
• Technical sourcer (in-house or agency) who has supported SWE reqs.
• Early-career technical recruiter who has run some full-cycle, but may still be developing closing skills.
• University recruiting is explicitly in-scope, especially if they’ve supported SWE intern/new grad programs and event strategy + pipeline building.
• Hiring manager coordination and process discipline
• Agency roots are a plus, but not required if activity level and curiosity are strong.
• Traits and abilities to prioritize
• Strong cognitive ability/problem solving - can synthesize feedback, adjust search strategy, and improve quickly.
• Coachability and responsiveness - takes direction well, iterates fast, communicates clearly.
• High activity and follow-through - consistent outbound, tight tracking, doesn’t drop threads.
• Genuine interest in tech/engineering (reads, asks questions, can converse at a practical level even if not deeply technical).
• Operating environment
• Comfortable managing multiple reqs and partnering with multiple stakeholders.
• Can keep processes moving across time zones (US + Europe) with proactive updates and clean handoffs.
• Tools & onboarding expectations (unchanged)
• Experience with Ashby preferred.
• Tools like Gem and ModernLoop (or equivalents), plus Slack and LinkedIn Recruiter.
• Laptop is provided
