We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter with a strong background in scaling companies and building engineering and product teams.

You are highly motivated, productive, and data-driven, thriving in fast-paced environments where multiple high-priority roles need to be filled quickly. While your core focus is technical hiring, you bring versatility and adaptability to take on non-technical roles as business needs evolve.

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience for a SaaS based business

  • 2+ years specializing in technical roles (e.g., Software Engineers, Data Scientists, DevOps, Product Managers)

  • Flexibility to recruit across non-technical functions (e.g., operations, sales, leadership)

  • You are comfortable using AI tools as part of your regular workflow. You can name the tools you rely on, describe real use cases, and show genuine enthusiasm for what they make possible.

  • Data-driven mindset, using metrics and insights to refine recruitment strategies

  • Highly motivated and able to handle multiple high-priority searches in fast-moving environments

  • Strong partnerships with Engineering, Product, and Technical Leadership

  • Dedication to diversity, inclusion, and delivering a seamless candidate experience

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with scaling companies to expand their technical and product teams

  • Build strong hiring manager partnerships, acting as an embedded talent partner who understands team goals and drives searches forward together

  • Provide candidates with an excellent, transparent, and engaging hiring experience

  • Support startups with tailored and flexible recruiting approaches

  • Manage recruitment across technical and non-technical roles as needed

  • Operate within Slack-based workflows across internal teams and client workspaces

  • Source passive candidates through advanced techniques and technical networks

  • Facilitate technical assessments and structured interview processes

  • Deliver insights on hiring trends, compensation, and market dynamics

  • Balance multiple urgent searches simultaneously with high productivity

  • Outplacement sessions with laid off employees

What We Offer

  • Career progression: Opportunities for advancement within HighlightTA

  • Guidance & training: Programs to support your professional growth

  • Flexible work: Arrangements that fit your lifestyle

  • Competitive compensation: Attractive packages that reward performance

  • 100% remote WFH: Work from anywhere with a fully remote setup

HighlightTA is a highly agile, on-demand Talent Acquisition (TA) partner fundamentally designed to replace the traditional, expensive recruitment agency model for high-growth startups and scale-ups. Operating with a strong remote footprint across North America, the company functions not as a passive vendor, but as an embedded internal talent team. Under the hood, HighlightTA deploys a suite of highly tailored hiring solutions—IntegrateTA for plugging dedicated recruiters directly into a company's Slack and internal workflows, FunctionTA for architecting and managing the entire end-to-end recruitment lifecycle, and ProjectTA for rapid, high-impact hiring sprints. Their primary target audience spans aggressive tech scale-ups (including prominent clients like Q4 Inc., Zipline, and Certn) that desperately need to rapidly scale their engineering, sales, and account management teams while completely dodging bloated traditional agency fees. What sets HighlightTA apart in the fiercely competitive HR ecosystem is its proprietary Data-Driven Recruitment (DDR) model and "plug-in, plug-out" flexibility; they actively engineer global talent strategies, optimize employer branding, and execute with absolute precision to deliver enterprise-grade hiring at a fraction of the cost.
