This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter based in Canada.

This role is an opportunity to play a foundational part in building and scaling a high-performing technical recruiting function. You will act as a strategic talent partner to engineering leaders, helping translate business growth plans into clear hiring strategies. You’ll own the recruiting lifecycle from talent mapping and sourcing through candidate engagement, assessment coordination, and offer closing. The role combines hands-on recruiting with process improvement, allowing you to shape how technical talent is identified and hired. You’ll work in a fast-moving, competitive environment where priorities evolve quickly and creativity is highly valued. Success will come from building trusted relationships, maintaining strong talent pipelines, and consistently delivering exceptional candidate experiences.

Accountabilities

• Partner strategically with engineering leaders to understand projected growth, team structures, hiring priorities, and evolving talent-market conditions.
• Define talent needs and develop targeted recruiting strategies for technical positions, particularly senior backend, frontend, full-stack, and engineering leadership roles.
• Own the recruiting process from sourcing and initial screening through interviews, stakeholder coordination, candidate engagement, and offer closing.
• Identify and engage high-quality candidates through multiple channels, including proactive sourcing, referrals, inbound applications, and creative talent strategies.

• Develop effective closing strategies and proactively address candidate concerns, motivations, and potential barriers to acceptance.
• Continuously improve recruiting processes, programs, and approaches to increase efficiency, quality, and candidate experience.
• Represent the organization effectively in a highly competitive technical talent market and identify innovative approaches to attract sought-after candidates.
• Prioritize competing searches and adapt recruiting strategies in a fast-changing environment while maintaining strong execution and service levels.

Requirements

• Ideally 3+ years of in-house technical recruiting experience, with demonstrated impact and results valued more highly than tenure alone.

• Strong understanding of technical recruiting and the ability to assess and engage candidates in competitive talent markets.
• Demonstrated ability to identify, attract, and engage qualified candidates through sourcing, referrals, inbound recruiting, and other channels.

• Creative and resourceful approach to sourcing, problem-solving, and overcoming recruiting challenges.

• Ability to operate with a high degree of ownership, urgency, and adaptability in a rapidly changing environment.
• Strategic mindset combined with a willingness to remain hands-on and personally drive recruiting outcomes.
