Part-Time Junior Recruiter

Junior Recruiter & Sourcer About Bedrock Talent

At Bedrock Talent, we’re intentional about the companies we represent. We partner primarily with early- and growth-stage startups, working closely with founders and hiring leaders to build thoughtful, high-performing teams.

We’re a small, hands‑on recruiting firm, which means everyone contributes in meaningful ways. We care deeply about doing excellent work, treating candidates with respect, and creating organized, human hiring experiences.

We’re looking for an early‑career recruiter or sourcer to support candidate sourcing, application review, interview coordination, recruiting administration, and special operational projects.

This is a great opportunity for someone with one to two years of recruiting, sourcing, or recruiting coordination experience who wants broader exposure to the full recruiting process. You’ll work across multiple searches and clients while learning how a small recruiting business operates behind the scenes.

The right person is organized, thoughtful, comfortable working independently, and genuinely enjoys keeping people and processes moving.
