The primary focus will be on identifying, attracting, and hiring exceptional backend engineering talent to fuel our company's growth within the competitive B2B Security Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product landscape. This position plays a critical role in scaling our engineering capabilities, which directly impacts our product development velocity and our ability to deliver innovative solutions to our enterprise clientele. Securing top technical talent is paramount in the B2B SaaS space, and this role requires a recruiter with a deep understanding of the specific engineering skill sets and calibre needed to develop world class B2B SaaS products. This is a 6 month fixed-term contract position designed to augment our existing talent acquisition capabilities during a period of focused growth or specific project needs. Job Responsibilities
  • Full-Cycle Recruitment Management:
  • Collaborate closely with hiring managers and engineering leaders to gain a deep understanding of technical requirements, define role specifications, and develop effective recruitment strategies.
  • Design and implement comprehensive sourcing strategies utilizing a mix of channels including LinkedIn Recruiter, professional networking platforms, niche technical sites (e.g., GitHub, Stack Overflow), job boards, employee referrals, and direct outreach to build robust pipelines of both active and passive candidates.
  • Thoroughly screen resumes and applications against technical and experiential requirements. Conduct initial phone screens and pre-screening calls to assess candidate qualifications, technical depth, alignment with role expectations, and cultural fit.
  • Coordinate and manage the scheduling of interviews across various stages, including technical assessments, hiring manager discussions, and team interviews, ensuring a smooth and efficient process for candidates and interviewers.
  • Maintain proactive and professional communication with candidates throughout the recruitment process, providing timely updates and feedback to ensure a positive candidate experience, reflecting positively on the company brand.
  • Facilitate the offer process, including presenting offers, managing negotiations within established parameters, and collaborating with HR for a seamless handover to onboarding.

  • Track, analyze, and report on key recruitment metrics such as time-to-hire, source effectiveness, pipeline conversion rates, and candidate quality to inform strategy adjustments.
  • Backend Engineering Focus: This role will primarily concentrate on recruiting Backend Software Engineers, though it will also provide support as needed for other technical job types.
