What the listing never says
- 17 bullet points. Long requirement lists deter qualified candidates, who read them as hard gates. Scope clarity
- No pay range published. Candidates cannot tell whether applying is worth their time. Pay transparency
- No location or timezone policy stated, so a candidate cannot tell where they may work from. Scope clarity

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.

• Own technical searches end-to-end across AI/ML, backend, frontend, mobile, infrastructure and engineering leadership.
• Build talent maps and sourcing strategies for difficult searches across leading AI startups, technology companies, research organisations and technical communities.
• Personally identify and headhunt high-quality passive candidates rather than depending on inbound applications.
• Assess technical profiles deeply enough to understand what candidates actually built, their individual contribution and relevance to ActAI.
• Partner directly with engineering leaders to calibrate hiring bars, refine target profiles and improve interview processes.
• Manage and close senior candidates through compensation discussions, competing offers and other complex situations.
• Use recruiting data and market feedback to identify pipeline problems and continuously improve search strategy and conversion.
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
