📌 About The Role
We are seeking an exceptional recruiter with proven experience identifying and engaging senior technology and product leadership talent.
This is not a traditional recruiting role focused on processing applications or filling high-volume positions. Our immediate priority is accelerating project execution by securing strong leadership talent, particularly a highly capable CTO and experienced Project Manager/Product Leader.
We are looking for someone who can independently identify, approach, qualify, and engage high-caliber candidates who are often not actively seeking new opportunities.
The ideal recruiter understands how to conduct executive-level searches, build relationships with passive candidates, and consistently deliver qualified leadership talent within aggressive timelines.

📌 Key Responsibilities
- Lead executive-level searches for:
- Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
- Head of Engineering
- VP Engineering
- Engineering Manager
- Technical Director
- Senior Product Manager

- Project Manager
- Develop and execute sourcing strategies across:
- LinkedIn Recruiter
- GitHub
- X (Twitter)

During the trial period, recruiters will be expected to:
- Build qualified CTO candidate pipelines
- Build qualified Project Manager/Product Leadership candidate pipelines
- Conduct direct outreach to passive candidates
- Generate meaningful candidate engagement
- Deliver qualified candidates suitable for interview consideration
