Codal is an award-winning web design and development consultancy that helps enterprise organizations solve complex problems and accelerate growth through elegant, data-driven digital solutions. Our areas of expertise include application modernization, eCommerce, UX/UI design, product strategy, data analytics, and artificial intelligence.

At Codal, you will collaborate with some of the most innovative organizations in the world and work on cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of design and software development. We promote long-term success, not just for our clients but for our team, helping you develop a professional roadmap that takes your career to new heights.

Who you’ll be working with

The back bone of Codal. Our recruiting team works tirelessly to ensure we are bringing in the best talent to represent who we are. We are not transactional and order takers, we are partners. We dive deep into every position, resume, interview, and phone screen. We know what it takes to be successful.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Recruiter who’s excited about sourcing top talent and playing a key role in growing our technical and non-technical teams. This role is ideal for someone who’s passionate about talent acquisition and wants to deepen their skills in sourcing, coordination, and candidate engagement.

You'll be the engine behind our talent pipeline—focused heavily on identifying and connecting with top candidates. You'll also assist with initial phone screens, interview coordination, and ensuring a great candidate experience throughout the process.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and maintain strategic talent pipelines for technical roles such as Software Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, Data Analysts, and more.
• Proactively identify and engage passive candidates through advanced sourcing techniques (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, GitHub, etc.).
• Conduct initial phone screens to assess candidate fit and interest.
• Coordinate interviews with hiring managers and internal teams.
• Partner with Technical Recruiters to understand hiring needs, role nuances, and ideal candidate profiles.
• Research market trends, talent pools, and competitive companies to inform sourcing strategy.
• Maintain an organized and up-to-date candidate database in our ATS.
• Advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of talent sourcing.

What You’ll Need to Be Successful

• 2-5 years of experience in a sourcing or recruiter role (agency or in-house), ideally in a tech or digital consultancy environment.
• Strong understanding of technical roles and terminologies (you don’t need to code, but you know your front-end from your back-end).
• Proven success in identifying and engaging passive candidates.
• Experience using sourcing tools like LinkedIn Recruiter and other platforms.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
• Strong communication skills - you know how to craft great outreach and hold candidate conversations.

Bonus Points For

• Previous experience sourcing for startups, digital consultancies, or product teams.
• Familiarity with ATS tools like Greenhouse or similar
