Senior Technical Recruiter
About the role
The Role
Fairmarkit is building a brand-new AI and Agentic business line, and we need a full-cycle senior technical recruiter to find the rare builders behind it. This is a high-ownership, high-impact full-cycle recruiting role focused on sourcing, engaging, and closing elite AI and engineering talent in one of the most competitive hiring markets in tech.
This is a hands-on Individual Contributor (IC) role. You will personally own full-cycle recruiting for technical and AI hiring rather than managing a recruiting team. You'll own the full cycle for technical roles end-to-end: AI engineers, full-stack engineers, and adjacent technical profiles. You'll partner directly with the co-founders and recruiting leadership to build a pipeline from scratch, drive every stage of the process, and hold a high bar from first outreach through signed offer. This is not a “post and pray” role. It's a full-cycle strategic role that requires creativity, persistence, and genuine technical curiosity.
What You'll Do
- Own the full recruiting cycle for US remote-based AI and engineering roles end-to-end, from intake and sourcing through screening, interview coordination, offer, and close
- Build proactive sourcing pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, community forums, AI practitioner networks, and creative outbound strategies
- Partner closely with co-founders and hiring managers to deeply understand the profiles we need and translate that into compelling outreach and sharp screening
- Drive every stage of the candidate experience with urgency and care: full cycle ownership means no handoffs, no gaps, and no candidates left in the dark
- Represent Fairmarkit credibly in conversations with technical candidates: you can speak to the work, the stack, and why this opportunity is worth their time
- Manage offers, negotiate comp, and close candidates with confidence
- Maintain clean pipeline hygiene in an ATS and report on key metrics, including time to fill, funnel conversion, and sourcing channel effectiveness
- Contribute to employer branding and recruiting content that resonates with AI and engineering talent
- Bring a point of view on market trends, compensation benchmarks, and where to find talent that others are missing
What You'll Bring
- 6+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, in-house at a B2B SaaS or technology company
- A proven track record owning the full recruiting lifecycle for hard-to-find engineering profiles, not just supporting pieces of it
- Direct experience recruiting AI engineers, ML engineers, or agentic systems builders: this is a must, not a nice-to-have
- Familiarity with technical communities like Hugging Face, LangChain Discord, or AI-focused GitHub organizations, and the ability to source credibly within them
- Demonstrates genuine curiosity about AI and emerging technologies, actively builds AI agents and workflow automations, and leverages AI to enhance recruiting outcomes.
- Genuine curiosity about AI and emerging technology
