We are seeking a driven and detail-oriented Tech Recruiter to join our team at TalentEdge. The ideal candidate will thrive in a demanding, fast-paced environment and be responsible for identifying, sourcing, and hiring top talent for our high-bar clients in the startup space. You will collaborate closely with our clients, embrace our unique interview-out approach, and manage the candidate experience throughout the hiring process.

About us:

  • High-signal recruiting for venture-backed companies - built by operators who have led hiring inside high-growth startups and know what “good” actually looks like.
  • We prioritize outcomes over activity - focused, curated searches that deliver real signal, not noise or resume volume.
  • Context-driven approach - we bring market insight, compensation calibration, and talent landscape visibility to every search.
  • Built for founders and speed - fast response times, clear communication, and workflows designed for how startups actually hire.
  • Trusted partner, not just a vendor - we operate with precision, judgment, and transparency to help teams hire with clarity and conviction.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Source, screen, and assess exceptional candidates through various channels, including traditional and non traditional methods.
  • Leverage industry-specific knowledge and expertise to identify potential candidates with relevant skills and experience for technology roles in startups.
  • Maintain a strong network of potential candidates and stay up-to-date on industry trends, emerging technologies, and competitive intelligence in the startup tech space.
  • Collaborate with our internal team to implement innovative recruitment strategies, ensure efficient hiring processes, and drive continuous improvement.
  • Guide candidates through the interview and hiring process, providing regular communication, feedback, and support.
  • Negotiate job offers and compensation packages, ensuring a positive candidate experience and high acceptance rates.
  • Develop and maintain a strong understanding of our clients' organizational structures, cultures, and growth plans to proactively identify future talent needs.
  • Analyze metrics and KPIs to track performance and identify areas for improvement.
  • Actively contribute to process improvements, leveraging your network and experience to help us stay ahead of the competition.

Qualifications:

  • Proven experience as a Tech Recruiter, with a focus on startups, and a track record of successful placements.
  • Knowledge of the technology industry, emerging trends, and key players in the startup space.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a focus on customer service and candidate experience.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Our Culture:

  • Take feedback & Give feedback
  • Think critically
  • Do the hard things first
  • Consistency
  • How you treat anyone is how you treat everyone
  • Operate from a position of power
  • Obsessed with winning

Unique Expectations & Environment:

  • Our founders set incredibly high expectations; we recognize the challenge, but it's crucial to our success and your growth.
  • A balance of extreme attention to detail and the ability to handle high volume is essential; this role is not for the faint of heart.
  • Be prepared to experience daily frustrations while working with exceptional companies and candidates, leading to both professional and financial growth.
  • We embrace an interview-out approach, which may seem unfair but is necessary in the current market; this means we may miss out on great candidates, but it's a risk we must take.
  • Initially, expect long hours; however, after 4-6 months, work-life balance will improve, with unlimited PTO and flexibility.
  • Not a traditional 9-5 environment; signing off at 5 pm will not work, and fully unplugging may be difficult due to ongoing candidate interactions.
