Job description
Senior Technical Recruiter (ContracttoHire)This is a contracttohire role reporting directly to the COO & Technical Recruiting Lead, with a clear path to fulltime if it’s a mutual fit.
About The Job SauceWe were founded as a career coaching company and became a recruiting agency reluctantly. Were the antiagency agency, where integrity and candidate experience matter more than accounts receivable. We’ve built a boutique recruiting firm trusted by startups, scaleups, and investors to find top talent, and our results speak for themselves—we fill nearly 90% of our roles, 4x the industry average. We’ve earned our reputation by delivering quality, fast. G2 page here.
About the RoleWe’re growing and need a discerning, relationshipdriven Senior Technical Recruiter who can lead searches for Senior+ and Directorlevel engineers with warmth, clarity, and confidence. You’ll work directly with founders and hiring managers, guiding candidates from first conversation to offer; all while partnering with a dedicated sourcing team to fill the top of the funnel.
This is not a phone jockey role. Top candidates get booked onto your calendar so you can focus on building trust quickly, navigating ambiguity, and running a tight, hightouch process with both candidates and clients.
Responsibilities include:Working directly with hiring managers and company leadership on live, highpriority searches
Leading intake and calibration calls to decode hiring needs and shape search strategy
Partnering with sourcing team to refine topoffunnel strategy as needed
Acting as the face of the search: own candidate experience from first screen through offer
Running structured, warm, and effective candidate screens with strong technical discernment
Writing persuasive candidate presentations that sell alignment to clients
Providing frameworks and clarity for clients and candidates throughout the process
Overseeing interview logistics, maintaining proactive candidate communication, and managing offer delivery with precision
You Might Be a Fit If You:Have 5–12 years of recruiting experience, ideally with agency and startup exposure
Have placed Senior+ through Directorlevel engineers earning $200K–$400K
Are a strong communicator and storyteller, not just a boxchecker

Are organized and autonomous—you know how to wrangle a hiring manager and keep the process on track
Have a growth mindset—you welcome feedback, adapt quickly, and love learning
Are a natural relationship builder who candidates trust and hiring managers respect
Have some exposure to AIML tooling or are excited to level up fast
Operate with urgency—you believe every day matters when filling a position
Enjoy coaching, collaborating, and winning as a team... no ego, no lone wolves
What It’s Like to Work With UsWe win as a team—collaboration, support, and shared success are core to how we operate
We were founded by coaches, so growth and feedback are in our DNA
We move fast and aren’t afraid to stumble—what matters is getting back up and learning
We work autonomously but aren’t afraid to ask for help—results matter more than pride
We don’t micromanage—trust and accountability go handinhand
We value integrity and candidate experience over volume and vanity metrics
