Junior Recruiter

The Role

Great recruiting is matchmaking. The right person in the right role can change a team, and it can change that person's career. At Maleda Tech, we make those matches every day for technology companies that expect speed and won't compromise on quality.

We're looking for a Junior Recruiter who wants to get truly good at this craft. You'll recruit for a wide range of roles, from software engineers and data analysts to customer support, operations, and administrative positions, in a fast-paced contract staffing environment where the best candidate who arrives first wins.

What You'll Do

• Find the people others miss. Source and engage strong talent on LinkedIn, Indeed, and beyond, including passive candidates who aren't looking yet.
• Move fast without cutting corners. Turn new client requirements around quickly and submit candidates who are truly qualified, not just keyword matches.
• Tell real experience from a polished resume. Run sharp screens, use short skills checks you design yourself, and catch the warning signs of inflated or fabricated profiles before they reach a client.
• Partner with hiring managers. Join client and supplier calls, ask the questions that uncover what a role really needs, and shape your search around the answers.
• Create a candidate experience people remember. Keep every candidate informed with clear, honest, and timely communication, whether the answer is yes or no.
• Work smarter. Use AI and automation to speed up sourcing, outreach, and admin, so more of your time goes to people.

What You Bring

• 2-3 years of recruiting experience across both technical and non-technical roles
• The curiosity to learn any role quickly, plus enough technical fluency to tell whether someone has really worked with tools like SQL, Python, or cloud platforms
• A natural sourcing instinct and confidence searching job boards
• A sharp eye for detail and a healthy dose of skepticism
• Clear, confident writing and speaking, with candidates and hiring managers alike
• Everyday comfort with Google Workspace and AI tools
• The energy to manage a demanding workload and the drive to compete for every placement
• Authorization to work in the country of residence without sponsorship

Bonus Points

• Experience submitting candidates through a vendor management system (VMS) (ex. Magnit)
• A background in contingent workforce programs or agency staffing
• Experience building screening questions or skills assessments
• Familiarity with an applicant tracking system such as Breezy HR or Bullhorn
