Contract recruiter, HR​/Recruitment

About This Role

You are a true recruiting hunter who knows how to find talent when it's not actively looking. You have experience in fast‑growing startups, can juggle 10‑15 hard to fill roles, and partner directly with hiring managers while maintaining quality.

This is an in‑house contract role (not an agency engagement). You will operate as part of our internal team, owning searches end‑to‑end and helping us scale from 80 to 160 employees. This role is for someone who can build pipelines from scratch and see their hires impact the business immediately. If you need extra hand‑holding or inbound candidates, this won’t be a fit.
