About the Role
Vendelux is seeking a full-cycle technical recruiter to own engineering hiring across all levels. This role involves partnering with engineering managers and founders to understand technical needs and hiring bar, building a strong candidate pipeline through proactive sourcing, and ensuring a high-quality candidate experience.
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle recruiting for software engineering roles across all levels — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing candidates.
- Partner closely with engineering managers and founders to develop a deep understanding of technical requirements, team culture, and hiring bar for each role.
- Build and maintain a robust pipeline of qualified engineering candidates through proactive outbound sourcing, referrals, and community engagement.
- Craft compelling, tailored outreach that resonates with technical talent and clearly communicates our mission and engineering culture.
- Drive a structured, consistent interview process — define evaluation criteria, train interviewers, and ensure a high-quality candidate experience from first contact to offer.
- Manage and negotiate competitive offers with a strong understanding of compensation benchmarks in the current market.
- Track recruiting metrics — pipeline health, time-to-fill, source effectiveness — and use data to continuously improve funnel performance.
- Help shape and evolve recruiting processes, tooling, and employer branding as the company scales.
Requirements
- 5+ years of recruiting experience, with a minimum of 5 years in-house at a tech company.
- Demonstrated experience recruiting software engineers across a range of disciplines (backend, frontend, fullstack, infrastructure, ML/AI, etc.).
- Prior experience at early-stage startups (Seed through Series B); comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and high-velocity environments.
- Strong technical literacy — able to understand engineering job requirements, speak credibly with candidates about the stack and role, and accurately evaluate technical backgrounds.
- Proven track record of filling hard-to-hire senior engineering roles through creative, proactive sourcing.
- Experience working autonomously without a large TA team or recruiting infrastructure; a scrappy, self-sufficient approach to tooling and process.
- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills — with candidates, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners.
- Familiarity with modern ATS platforms and sourcing tools (Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).
- Open to great people from non-traditional backgrounds.
