Job description
Role overview
This opportunity is for an experienced 360 software engineering recruiter who wants real autonomy, strong leadership support, and the chance to grow a successful desk in a trusted, performance-led environment. The role is focused on owning a specialist technology market and delivering commercial results through full-cycle recruitment.
The company works with venture-backed startups, scaling businesses, and leading innovators across the US. It is built around credibility in the technology recruiting space, a close-knit team of high performers, and leadership that remains actively involved in the business.
If you already have a proven desk and want better earning potential, stronger backing, and a healthier culture than a metrics-driven environment, this role may be a strong fit.
Compensation
The position offers a base salary of $90,000–$110,000 per year, plus uncapped commission, creating the potential for significant total earnings.
What the job involves
You will manage the complete recruitment cycle for a specialist software engineering market, from business development through to successful placement. The role requires you to win new clients, build long-term relationships, and deliver strong outcomes for both clients and candidates.
The environment gives experienced recruiters independence while still providing access to supportive leaders who understand the recruitment business firsthand.
Key responsibilities
- Bring in new clients and develop durable commercial partnerships.
- Build strong expertise in high-growth technology sectors.
- Deliver effective recruitment solutions for both clients and candidates.
- Work independently while contributing to a collaborative, high-performing team.
- Develop and grow a profitable desk with guidance from experienced leadership.
Candidate profile
The ideal applicant is a recruiter with proven 360 recruitment experience, a strong record of generating new business, and the maturity to thrive in an autonomous setup. A background recruiting software engineers or other technical talent into startup, scale-up, SaaS, AI, infrastructure, or venture-backed environments is important.
Cybersecurity recruitment experience is welcomed but not required.
Benefits and culture
- Base pay of $90,000–$110,000 plus uncapped commission.
- Access to an established client network and a well-regarded market brand.
- Regular team meetups, conferences, and networking events.
- Meaningful investment in client entertainment and business development.
- A culture built on trust, autonomy, performance, and long-term growth rather than KPI pressure.
