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.

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.

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.
Experience recruiting for an early-stage AI or technology company.
