We are building the Ultimate on-demand recruitment function.
We simplify hiring by embedding talent partners, leading recruitment projects, or managing entire talent functions for StartUps and ScaleUps. We are not a recruitment agency. Our data-driven approach ensures fast hiring and access to top-tier talent, while flexible terms help companies save time and reduce costs.
As former in-house talent leaders, we saw that many businesses struggle with hiring demands, layoffs, and inconsistent growth. So we started HighlightTA with a simple goal: to help companies grow sustainably and access top talent experts easily.
We're growing fast, and we're building a genuinely fun team while we do it. Good people, good energy, no egos. Join us at an exciting time, where you'll have the chance to help shape how we grow.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter with a strong background in scaling companies and building engineering and product teams.
You are highly motivated, productive, and data-driven, thriving in fast-paced environments where multiple high-priority roles need to be filled quickly. While your core focus is technical hiring, you bring versatility and adaptability to take on non-technical roles as business needs evolve. Above all, you're a team player who brings good energy to the group. For us, success looks like a great candidate and client experience, every time.
What You’ll Do
Manage recruitment within HighlightTA's talent function or work as a fully embedded talent partner within a client's team, partnering with scaling companies to expand their technical and product teams and stepping into other departments such as sales, marketing, ops, or leadership when the workload calls for it.
Build strong relationships with a variety of hiring managers, showing up as a true consultative partner who understands team goals and drives searches forward together.
Move comfortably between different tools and systems depending on the client. Day to day, that mostly means living in Google Workspace, Slack, and Ashby.
Take client and candidate experience seriously, delivering an excellent, transparent, and engaging process for everyone involved.
Source passive candidates through advanced techniques, technical networks, and tools like LinkedIn Recruiter.
Deliver insights on hiring trends, compensation, and market dynamics.
Balance multiple urgent searches simultaneously with high productivity.
Guide laid-off employees through outplacement support, helping them navigate their next move.
5+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience for a SaaS-based business.
2+ years specializing in technical roles (e.g., Software Engineers, Data Scientists, DevOps, Product Managers).
Internal (in-house) recruiting experience is a must. A mix of in-house and agency experience is a bonus.
A flexible, roll-up-your-sleeves mindset. We're a small, fast-moving team, so priorities shift and you're happy to jump in wherever's needed.
Highly organized and self-directed. You know how to run your own process and have the judgment to know when to ask for help.
A consultative, communicative approach. You're comfortable and confident engaging directly with clients and hiring managers, building real partnerships and not just order-taking relationships.
Confident working across tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Ashby, and LinkedIn Recruiter.
Comfortable using AI tools as part of your regular workflow. You can name the tools you rely on and speak to real use cases.
Data-driven mindset, using metrics and insights to refine recruitment strategies.
Dedication to diversity, inclusion, and a seamless candidate experience.
Bonus points for experience with outplacement or career transition support.
Career progression: Real opportunities for advancement as we scale, with mentorship and support to help you get there
Cutting-edge tools: AI and automation baked into how we work, so you're recruiting smarter, not just harder
Variety that keeps it interesting: Different clients, different roles, different ways of working - no two searches look the same
Remote by default, flexible by nature: Work from home base, with the flexibility to work abroad within reason
Vacation, flex time & wellness days: Recharging is part of the job
Employer-paid health & dental: We've got you covered
Competitive compensation: Attractive packages that reward performance
A team that actually likes each other: Friday afternoon games, team lunches, and people who don't take themselves too seriously
