Job Description

Our start-up client is looking for a mid-level Tech recruiter. This position is on-site in San Francisco and a six-month contract that could get extended or turn into full-time. Responsibilities include:

Source and attract top technical talent using various channels, including LinkedIn, job boards, and professional networks.

Conduct initial screenings and interviews to assess candidates' qualifications and cultural fit.

Collaborate with hiring managers to understand job requirements and create compelling job descriptions.

Develop and implement innovative sourcing strategies to build a strong pipeline of engineering candidates

Utilize Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and recruitment tools to streamline the hiring process.

Qualifications

2-4 years of recruiting experience is ideal.

Sourcing-only is acceptable - this does not need to be a seasoned full-cycle closer.

“Lighter” experience can work if shown strong general cognitive ability, clear learning velocity, and real passion for recruiting + tech.

Core requirement: engineering hiring exposure

Must have experience hiring or sourcing engineers (software preferred; adjacent technical roles acceptable if the candidate can translate).

Ability to quickly learn role requirements and identify signal in resumes/LinkedIn profiles (titles, scope, tech stack indicators, project impact, progression).

Backgrounds that fit

• Technical sourcer (in-house or agency) who has supported SWE reqs.

• Early-career technical recruiter who has run some full-cycle, but may still be developing closing skills.

• University recruiting is explicitly in-scope, especially if they’ve supported:

SWE intern/new grad programs

Event strategy + pipeline building

Hiring manager coordination and process discipline

• Agency roots are a plus, but not required if activity level and curiosity are strong.

• Traits and abilities to prioritize

Strong cognitive ability/problem solving - can synthesize feedback, adjust search strategy, and improve quickly.

Coachability and responsiveness - takes direction well, iterates fast, communicates clearly.

High activity and follow-through - consistent outbound, tight tracking, doesn’t drop threads.

Genuine interest in tech/engineering (reads, asks questions, can converse at a practical level even if not deeply technical).

• Operating environment

Comfortable managing multiple reqs and partnering with multiple stakeholders.

Can keep processes moving across time zones (US + Europe) with proactive updates and clean handoffs.

• Tools & onboarding expectations (unchanged)

Experience with Ashby preferred.

Tools like Gem and ModernLoop (or equivalents), plus Slack and LinkedIn Recruiter.

Laptop is provided
