Our courses may be tech-enabled, but we're ultimately human-centric: each student taps into a vast community throughout their time with us, engaging with fellow students, industry-expert mentors, student advisors, and career coaches, the goal of which is to successfully transition students into their dream job. Through this hybrid approach, we’ve helped thousands of learners revamp their careers and, by extension, their lives, with hundreds of top-notch job offers received every year and a near-perfect placement rate for our program graduates.

From our AI and tech upskilling programs to our growing suite of Allied Health certification programs, we build learning experiences that help people change their lives.

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly driven, hands-on U.S. Recruiter to join our team on a full-time 6-month contractual basis. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, knows how to build strong candidate pipelines quickly, and is not afraid to be creative and persistent when sourcing for hard-to-fill roles.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-lifecycle recruitment for U.S.-based startup roles from initial sourcing to offer acceptance.
• Proactively identify, engage, and build talent pipelines for high-priority GTM (Go-To-Market) and delivery roles with specialized skill sets.
• Source candidates using LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Upwork, Indeed, referrals, and alternative recruitment channels.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to calibrate profiles and align on requirements.
• Conduct recruiter screens to evaluate candidate experience, skills, and organizational fit.
• Maintain accurate hiring data and pipeline progress in the ATS (Greenhouse).
• Ensure a seamless, professional experience for candidates throughout the hiring process.

Must-Haves

• 7+ years of professional recruiting experience, with significant experience recruiting for U.S.-based roles.
• Strong hands-on experience across the full recruitment lifecycle, particularly sourcing and pipeline management.

• Strong experience working in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments where priorities can change quickly.
• Hands-on experience with Greenhouse, Upwork, Indeed, and LinkedIn.
• Experience leveraging AI tools for candidate sourcing, talent identification, research, outreach, and/or recruiting workflow efficiency.
• Strong understanding of sourcing strategies, candidate identification, outreach, screening, and pipeline conversion.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of recruiting priorities with minimal supervision.
• U.S.-based and able to work effectively during U.S. business hours / overlapping U.S. time zones.

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who actively hunts for talent rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
• Comfortable taking on new profiles, quickly identifying candidate pools, and experimenting with creative sourcing channels.
• Persistent, organized, and skilled at managing multiple open roles and competing priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Detail-oriented with strong follow-through on candidate pipelines and hiring metrics.
• Available to commit full-time for the full 6-month contract and able to join immediately or at very short notice.
• Engagement: 6-month contract
• Location: United States (remote)
• Experience: 7+ years
• Focus: U.S. Recruitment | Sourcing | Pipeline Management | Startup Hiring
