Senior Technical Recruiter (Contract-to-Hire)

About The Job Sauce
We were founded as a career coaching company and became a recruiting agency reluctantly. We're the anti-agency 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 themselveswe fill nearly 90% of our roles, 4x the industry average. We've earned our reputation by delivering quality, fast.
About the Role
We're growing and need a discerning, relationship-driven Senior Technical Recruiter who can lead searches for Staff- and Director-level 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.

- Working directly with hiring managers and company leadership on live, high-priority searches
- Leading intake and calibration calls to decode hiring needs and shape search strategy
- Partnering with sourcing team to refine top-of-funnel 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
