Part-time Senior Recruiter

We are seeking a skilled, results-driven Recruiter to join our team and help us secure top-tier software engineering talent. This part-time position (20 hours per week) requires working US business hours, and you'll work closely with our leadership team to source, screen, and recruit exceptional engineers for our fast-growing, VC-backed startup.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Proactively source passive candidates through direct outreach, LinkedIn, and specialized job boards to find top engineering talent.
• Focus on sourcing software engineers (including backend roles), with expertise in technologies such as React, AWS, Python, Kubernetes, and similar tools.
• Conduct initial screening calls to assess both technical and cultural fit, ensuring candidates align with the company's needs and values.
• Lead salary negotiations, ensuring candidates have a clear understanding of the compensation structure, including equity options.
• Work to reduce time-to-hire by managing candidate pipelines effectively and prioritizing critical roles.
• Report on recruitment metrics, including time-to-fill, pipeline status, and candidate experience, to leadership.
• Collaborate with leadership to understand evolving hiring needs and refine sourcing strategies accordingly.
• Devote 50% of your time to direct sourcing and outreach to candidates, complementing inbound applicant flow.
• Research and identify emerging talent markets and new sourcing channels, with a special focus on Latin America and other regions known for high-quality engineering talent.
• Provide strategic recommendations on optimizing sourcing efforts, including advice on countries or regions with top-tier talent (e.g., Argentina, Brazil, etc.), salaries, and skill availability.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Recruiter or Senior Recruiter, with a focus on sourcing software engineers (backend, full-stack, etc.).
• Expertise in sourcing passive candidates and conducting direct outreach to individuals not actively seeking new roles.
• Deep understanding of the tech/engineering industry and specific backend technologies (e.g., React, AWS, Python, Kubernetes, etc.).
• Knowledge of global talent markets, particularly in Latin America, including countries known for strong engineering talent and favorable compensation.
• Comfortable navigating startup environments, including VC-backed companies, with a fast-paced, high-growth culture.
• A strong track record of building and executing sourcing strategies that deliver qualified candidates quickly and efficiently.
• Ability to work autonomously and independently—no need for constant supervision, as you'll take full ownership of the sourcing and vetting process.
• Strong communicator with the ability to set clear expectations and deliver a smooth, positive candidate experience.
• Experience in negotiating competitive offers and ensuring clarity on compensation packages (including equity).
• Previous experience with fast-growing startups is a must, particularly in tech or engineering roles.
