• Keep hiring moving fast without sacrificing quality or candidate experience
• Track pipeline and hiring metrics in our ATS (Workable)
• Share real-time market insights with the team
• Create and maintain a recruiting dashboard

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of technical recruiting experience (startup or high-growth environment preferred)
• Strong sourcing skills and comfort reaching out to passive candidates
• Solid understanding of technical roles and skill sets
• Ability to work independently and thrive in ambiguity
• Clear communicator who can influence and partner with busy stakeholders

Bonus Points

• Startup or early-stage experience
• Contract or agency background
• Passion for building diverse and inclusive teams

Why You'll Love This

• Real ownership and autonomy
• Direct access to decision-makers
• Fast feedback loops and quick decisions
• Competitive contract rate
• Opportunity to extend or convert long-term
