We support startups across the US, UK, Europe, Israel and India with technical, leadership and GTM hiring. We recruit across software engineering, AI, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, cybersecurity, data, product, leadership and sales. We are also building Bellatrix, our own AI-powered sourcing and recruitment SaaS platform. We are currently a team of three and are hiring our fourth founding team member. This role is best suited to someone who wants to help build the company, its processes and its culture—not someone looking for an established company with fixed systems and narrowly defined responsibilities. The founder has more than eight years of global recruitment experience, a LinkedIn network of 13,000+ followers and a Top Rated Upwork profile with a 100% Job Success Score. ## About the role I’m looking for an experienced recruiter who can take genuine ownership of recruitment delivery and gradually become my second-in-command. This is not a sourcing-only or recruitment coordination role. You will work across client communication, intake calls, sourcing strategy, candidate screening, submissions, interview coordination, reporting and process management. You may support approximately 4–5 international clients and 10–12 active roles at different stages. Strong organization, accuracy, judgment and independent problem-solving are essential. ## Responsibilities * Manage recruitment delivery for multiple international startup clients * Communicate directly with founders, hiring managers and candidates * Lead intake calls and clarify requirements, priorities and disqualifiers * Build sourcing strategies, Boolean searches and target-company lists * Source candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, X-ray search, referrals and other channels * Write personalized outreach and manage candidate follow-ups * Screen candidates for technical fit, communication, compensation, notice period, location and work authorization * Prepare accurate and evidence-based candidate submissions * Coordinate interviews and carefully verify all scheduling details * Maintain ATS records, Google Sheets, Google Docs, candidate trackers and weekly reports * Track progress across multiple roles and identify hiring blockers early * Provide clients with regular updates and relevant market feedback * Use Bellatrix and other AI tools to improve sourcing and productivity * Help develop internal processes, templates and quality standards * Support or manage junior recruiters as the team grows ## Requirements * At least two years of full-cycle recruitment experience * Excellent written and spoken English * Proven LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search and candidate-engagement skills * Experience recruiting for technical, leadership or GTM positions * Ability to manage multiple clients, vacancies and candidate pipelines * Confidence communicating directly with international clients * Strong screening and candidate-submission writing skills * Excellent attention to detail, especially with names, roles, links, compensation, locations, work authorization and interview stages * Experience with Google Sheets, Google Docs, ATS platforms, Slack, Google Workspace, Calendly and AI tools * Reliable internet connection and a suitable remote working setup * Comfortable working an EST-aligned shift * Able to work independently without constant direction * Strong accountability, urgency, judgment and follow-through ## Independence and AI usage You should look for answers before escalating routine questions. This may include checking existing instructions, previous communication, ATS records, tool documentation, online resources or AI. AI usage is encouraged for research, sourcing and productivity, but every output must be reviewed and verified. Unchecked AI-generated information must never be added to candidate submissions or client communication. ## What we offer * Long-term contract work for 20–30 hours per week * Competitive hourly compensation * Bonuses and incentives for strong performance and successful outcomes * Saturdays and Sundays off * Direct exposure to international founders and startup hiring teams * Clear pathway to become a Lead Recruiter or Recruitment Manager * Opportunity to help build Bellatrix, our AI recruitment SaaS platform * Potential conversion to full-time employment as the company grows * Meaningful influence over the company’s processes, culture and recruitment operations ## Important contract terms This is initially an independent contractor position, not a full-time employee role. It does not include paid leave, insurance, retirement contributions or other employee benefits. Payment will be based on the agreed hours actually worked, and non-working time will be unpaid unless otherwise agreed in writing. ## Before applying This is a very early-stage company. Processes are still being developed, priorities may change quickly and everyone is expected to contribute beyond a narrow job description. If you are looking for an established company, fixed processes, a large support team or a highly structured corporate environment, this will not be the right opportunity. ## How to apply Please include the following with your proposal: 1. Your current country and city 2. Your current and expected hourly or monthly compensation 3. Your notice period and weekly availability 4. Your availability during EST working hours 5. The international markets and technical roles you have recruited for 6. An example of a difficult position you successfully sourced through LinkedIn 7. A brief explanation of how you use AI in recruitment 8. A link to a one-minute English introduction video or voice recording Please apply only if you are comfortable working independently, communicating with international clients and taking ownership in a fast-moving early-stage environment.
