Senior Technical Recruiter (Contract)
Apartment List•Remote within the US,
•$100 - $150
About The Position
We're looking for a technical recruiter who can step in and run full-cycle searches across Engineering and other technical roles. This is a 6–9 month contract built around real ownership: your own req load, direct partnership with hiring managers, and full accountability for pipeline health and offers. You'll bring recruiting experience from a company at a similar size and stage, so you can take on that ownership from the start.
Requirements
- 5+ of years of experience in technical sourcing and/or recruiting, with at least 3 years running full-cycle searches independently
- Demonstrated ability to utilize advanced talent platforms such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem Sourcing, and specialized technical sourcing tools to identify and engage passive candidates.
- Proven experience to manage multiple competing priorities, and searches with minimal guidance
- Excellent communication - you can navigate sensitive information, complex offer negotiations, and create an exceptional candidate experience
Nice To Haves
- Experience recruiting at a company of similar size and stage to Apartment List, and the judgment that comes with it
- Experience recruiting for data, infrastructure, or security roles specifically, in addition to core software engineering
- Experience with Gem, Ashby or similar ATS/sourcing tooling (we use Gem/MetaView)
- Familiarity with using AI tools to improve sourcing efficiency or candidate research
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of technical roles, from intake through offer through close
- Partner directly with hiring managers to define role scope, calibrate must-haves, and build a hiring strategy for each req
- Source and engage passive technical talent, building pipeline that doesn't depend solely on inbound applications
- Run structured phone screens that accurately assess technical background, motivation, and fit against the role profile
- Guide candidates through Apartment List's interview process, keeping them informed and engaged at every stage
- Use pipeline data to flag bottlenecks early and adjust sourcing strategy before a req stalls
- Represent Apartment List's hiring brand and standards consistently, from first outreach through offer negotiation
Benefits
- This is a contract position (6–9 months) and does not include Apartment List employee benefits
