Our objective is to organise anyone's life, allowing us all to spend time on valuable and meaningful things.

## About the Role

As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you will independently own difficult technical searches and hire exceptional engineering and AI talent for ActAI globally.

- Manage and close senior candidates through compensation discussions, competing offers and other complex situations.

## What You Will Need

- 5+ years of recruiting experience, with substantial experience hiring software engineers and other technical talent.
- Strong track record of independently delivering difficult technical hires through proactive headhunting.
- Good understanding of software engineering disciplines and the ability to evaluate technical profiles beyond company, title and keywords.
- Strong sourcing capability across LinkedIn and other relevant platforms, communities and networks.
- Ability to advise hiring managers using evidence from the talent market rather than simply executing requests.
- Strong candidate management, negotiation and closing skills.
- High ownership, judgement and execution speed.

## Nice to Have

- Experience recruiting AI/ML engineers, researchers, distributed systems engineers or senior technical leaders.
- Experience hiring internationally across multiple technical talent markets.
