About the Role

As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you will independently own difficult technical searches and hire exceptional engineering and AI talent for ActAI globally.

 
What You Will Be Doing
  • Own technical searches end-to-end across AI/ML, backend, frontend, mobile, infrastructure and engineering leadership.

  • Build talent maps and sourcing strategies for difficult searches across leading AI startups, technology companies, research organisations and technical communities.

  • Personally identify and headhunt high-quality passive candidates rather than depending on inbound applications.

  • Assess technical profiles deeply enough to understand what candidates actually built, their individual contribution and relevance to ActAI.

  • Partner directly with engineering leaders to calibrate hiring bars, refine target profiles and improve interview processes.

  • Manage and close senior candidates through compensation discussions, competing offers and other complex situations.

  • Use recruiting data and market feedback to identify pipeline problems and continuously improve search strategy and conversion.

 
What You Will Need
  • 5+ years of recruiting experience, with substantial experience hiring software engineers and other technical talent.

  • Strong track record of independently delivering difficult technical hires through proactive headhunting.

  • Good understanding of software engineering disciplines and the ability to evaluate technical profiles beyond company, title and keywords.

  • Strong sourcing capability across LinkedIn and other relevant platforms, communities and networks.

  • Ability to advise hiring managers using evidence from the talent market rather than simply executing requests.

  • Strong candidate management, negotiation and closing skills.

  • High ownership, judgement and execution speed.

 
Nice to Have
  • Experience recruiting AI/ML engineers, researchers, distributed systems engineers or senior technical leaders.

  • Experience hiring internationally across multiple technical talent markets.

  • Experience recruiting for an early-stage AI or technology company.
