Summary

About the Role Texas Sports Academy is a K-12 school designed for serious student-athletes who want both elite academics and high-level athletic development. Students cover 2x the material in just 2 hours a day, using the same 2-Hour Learning model as Alpha Schools. That frees up their entire afternoon for serious training, where they work alongside former pro and D1 athletes coaching them at the highest standard. We are hiring a Technical Recruiter to run full-cycle hiring across our open roles. You will own sourcing, outreach, screening, and pipeline management for technical roles such as software engineers, IT operations, and growth marketing engineers, and for non-technical roles across sales, partnerships, operations, and school-based positions. You will partner directly with our Senior Talent Acquisition lead and hiring managers to close strong hires quickly. This is a fully remote three-month contract with potential to extend based on performance and ongoing needs. What You'll Do - Own Full-Cycle Recruiting: Run sourcing, outreach, screening, interview coordination, and offer stages across a mix of technical and non-technical roles. - Run First-Round Screens: Screen candidates against a defined scorecard, assess baseline capability and motivation, and move qualified candidates to hiring managers with clear notes and a recommendation. - Partner With Hiring Managers: Meet with each hiring manager to define the role, calibrate the bar, agree on process, and give clear updates on pipeline health throughout the search. - Manage Pipelines in the ATS: Keep Workable accurate at all times, including candidate stages, notes, and scorecards, so the pipeline reflects reality. - Report on Recruiting Performance: Share weekly updates on activity, pipeline, and hires so leadership can see what is working and where to invest more. What We're Looking For - Full-Cycle Recruiting Experience: Several years of experience running full-cycle recruiting for both technical and non-technical roles. You can walk us through the pipelines you have built and the hires you have closed. - Technical Recruiting Fluency: You can read a technical job description, run a credible first-round conversation with an engineer or IT professional, and identify a real signal versus noise on a resume. - Non-Technical Recruiting Range: You have hired across sales, operations, marketing, or education-adjacent roles and can move between role types comfortably. - Sourcing Skills: You know how to build and run a proactive sourcing motion, including outbound outreach that gets responses from candidates who are not actively looking. - Clear Communication: Your candidate-facing communication is warm, professional, and on-brand. Your internal updates to hiring managers and leadership are precise and useful. - AI Forward: You use AI tools daily for sourcing, drafting outreach, summarizing screens, and speeding up repetitive work. Familiarity with tools such as Perplexity Computer is a plus. - Reliable Home Setup: Quiet workspace, strong internet, and a working webcam and microphone. Available during standard U.S. business hours (Central Time preferred). - Location: Remote (U.S. only) Bonus Points - Workable Experience: Hands-on experience running an ATS, ideally Workable, including sourcing, scorecards, and pipeline management. - Startup or Growth-Stage Hiring: Prior recruiting experience at a startup, growth-stage company, or mission-driven organization where you owned outcomes without a large team behind you.
