Senior Recruiter (6-Month Contract)

Location: Hybrid in-office 3x week in Austin, TX
Contract Length: 6 Months 

About the Role

The next six months represent a critical phase in our growth journey. We're looking for an experienced Senior Recruiter to join our Talent Acquisition team and help drive hiring outcomes during a period of significant business momentum.

This is not a role for someone who simply follows a process. Success in this environment requires strong judgement, ownership, adaptability, and the ability to deliver results at pace.

You'll partner closely with hiring managers and stakeholders to attract, assess, and hire exceptional talent while helping raise the bar across our recruiting function.

This is a six-month contract role with the potential to extend based on business needs and performance.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle recruitment across a range of functions and levels.

• Partner closely with hiring managers to understand hiring priorities and deliver against ambitious hiring goals.

• Proactively source and engage high-quality talent in competitive markets.

• Drive efficient, high-quality hiring processes from intake through offer acceptance.

• Build strong candidate pipelines and maintain a high standard of candidate experience.

• Use data, insights, and market intelligence to influence hiring decisions.

• Navigate changing priorities and evolving business needs while maintaining delivery.

• Act as a trusted talent advisor, balancing speed, quality, and business impact.

• Contribute to continuous improvement across recruiting processes, tools, and ways of working.

What We're Looking For

Bias for Action with Strong Judgement

We value recruiters who create momentum and move hiring forward.

Equally important, you understand the intent behind operating principles, policies, and hiring frameworks and can apply sound judgement in execution.

You know when to move quickly, when to seek alignment, and how to operate within constraints while still delivering strong outcomes.

High Accountability

You take ownership from start to finish.

You follow through on commitments, communicate proactively, and focus on solutions when challenges arise.

You don't wait for someone else to solve problems—you take responsibility for outcomes and drive them forward.

Thrives in Ambiguity

Priorities evolve. Hiring needs change.

You're comfortable making decisions without perfect information and can operate effectively in environments where certainty isn't always available.

You adapt quickly while maintaining focus on results.

Pace & Capacity

This is a high-output environment.

You'll be managing multiple priorities simultaneously while maintaining quality and stakeholder trust.

You are energised by pace and able to consistently deliver in a fast-moving environment while balancing speed, quality, and stakeholder expectations.

Tenacity

You don't stop at the first obstacle.

You find creative paths forward, use constraints as inputs for problem-solving, and remain focused on achieving outcomes.

Self-Awareness & Maturity

You're coachable, reflective, and committed to continuous improvement.

You understand the impact of your decisions, seek feedback, and hold yourself to a high personal standard.

What Great Looks Like

The strongest recruiters in our environment combine pace, judgement, accountability, and execution.

They create momentum, solve problems proactively, and consistently deliver results without requiring close management.

They understand both the instruction and the intent behind it, exercise strong judgement, and maintain a high bar for quality.

Most importantly, they raise the bar for those around them.

Experience

• 5+ years experience as a full-cycle recruiter in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously while maintaining quality.

• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills.

• Experience partnering with hiring managers to solve complex hiring challenges.

• Track record of delivering hiring outcomes in environments with changing priorities and evolving business needs.

• Experience recruiting for technology, product, commercial, or corporate functions is advantageous.

Why Join Us?

This team is at a critical stage of growth, and every recruiter has a meaningful impact on the performance, culture, and trajectory of the function.

Individual contribution, ownership, and delivery are highly visible, making this an opportunity to have genuine influence and impact.

We're looking for recruiters who will raise the bar, not simply meet it—people who consistently deliver, operate with strong judgement, thrive in ambiguity, and have the capacity and mindset to succeed at a high level.
