Job description

Who you are

• 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally with time both spent at an external agency supporting cybersecurity or software development companies and internally
• Own the entire R&D req load end to end — intake, sourcing strategy, screening, interview design, close, and offer negotiation — operating with full autonomy and accountability for the funnel
• Strong sourcing muscle: building target lists, engaging passive talent, and crafting outreach that converts
• Proven track record hiring backend engineers, platform engineers, security researchers, technical product managers in B2B SaaS and Security Startups
• Comfortable operating in startup environments and ramping quickly on complex technical domains
• Naturally curious, resourceful, and energized by uncovering hard-to-find talent
• A clear, confident communicator who builds trusted relationships with candidates and hiring leaders

What the job involves

• This is a 6-month Contract-to-Hire role
• Endor Labs is looking for a high-impact Technical Recruiter to own and scale hiring across our R&D organization — with a particular focus on building out our Engineering (backend, infrastructure/platform, security research) and Product departments.
• This is a sourcing-first, full-ownership role: you'll personally build the pipelines, run searches end to end, and compete for in-demand talent in one of the hottest markets in software.
• We're looking for someone who loves the hunt, thrives in startup ambiguity, and knows how to win passive candidates who have other options.
• Agency experience serving cybersecurity or high-growth tech plus in-house startup experience is the ideal combination

Full-Cycle Recruiting (Heavy Sourcing Emphasis)

• Own end-to-end recruiting across technical and business functions, from initial intake to offer
• Build and nurture strong candidate pipelines using various outbound methods (LinkedIn Recruiter, JuiceBox AI, Meetups/Events, etc.)
• Proactively map target accounts, competitors, and niche talent pools relevant to cybersecurity and software development
• Partner directly with leadership to scale the R&D org
• Run effective, structured kickoff meetings and act as a trusted partner to hiring managers
• Understand the business goals and product direction to anticipate future talent needs
• Deliver a high-touch, transparent, and thoughtful candidate journey from first outreach to offer close
• Track pipeline health, funnel conversion, and sourcing yield; share insights to drive decision-making and process improvements
• Mapping competitors and niche pools, and crafting outreach that pulls in passive candidates who aren't looking and already have offers on the table
• Participate in strategic talent initiatives and help refine interviewing rubrics, scorecards, DEI sourcing approaches, and calibration processes

Work Arrangement: Remote from US
Employment Type: 6-month Contract-to-Hire
