Join us as a Recruiter
About the role
We are looking for a self-driven, entrepreneurial Senior Technical Recruiter to join us on a commission-only basis. This is not a desk job with a warm lead queue — you will own your business end-to-end: hunting clients, building candidate pipelines, and closing placements. If you thrive with autonomy and want uncapped earning potential, this role is built for you.
What you'll do
- Develop your own client base — prospect, pitch, and close companies looking to hire technical talent through networking, outbound, LinkedIn, referrals, and industry events.
Source and build candidate pipelines — identify, engage, and qualify software engineers, data professionals, DevOps, product managers, and other technical roles across active and passive talent pools.
Manage the full placement cycle — from intake call and job brief through candidate screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, and post-placement check-ins.
Maintain relationships — nurture long-term partnerships with hiring managers and candidates to generate repeat business and referrals.
Stay sharp on the market — keep up with hiring trends, tech stacks, compensation benchmarks, and competitor landscape to advise clients credibly.
What you''ll bring
- 3+ years of experience in technical recruitment, ideally in an agency or 360-desk environment
- A proven track record of independently generating clients — not just filling roles handed to you
- Solid understanding of technical roles, stacks, and what makes a strong engineering hire (you don’t need to code, but you need to speak the language)
- Comfort and confidence with cold outreach, objection handling, and closing deals
- Strong personal network in the tech hiring space (a bonus, not a requirement)
- Self-motivated with excellent time management — you set your own pace and hold yourself accountable
- Your own laptop, provided with access to our ATS which allows for remote work
This role is not for you if…
You need a guaranteed salary, a pre-built client list, or close supervision. Success here requires grit, hustle, and the confidence to build something from scratch. If you’ve done it before and want to do it again, please send your resume to submitCV@talentreq.com
