About the role:

We are looking for a Freelance Technical Recruitment & Workforce Coordinator to join our team and support hiring and workforce planning for technical (coding-related) domains.
This is a hybrid role that starts within the Acquisition team and gradually evolves into a Workforce Coordination function. You will initially focus on technical recruitment pipelines, and over time take ownership of evaluating talent pools, identifying gaps, and supporting project readiness from a workforce perspective.

This role is ideal for someone with a technical recruitment background who wants to expand into a more operational, strategic role bridging hiring and workforce planning.

You do not need to be a developer, but you should feel comfortable understanding technical roles (e.g. backend, frontend, full-stack) and collaborating with engineers and project stakeholders.

Working Hours & Compensation:

• Expected workload: 35-40 hours per week
• Compensation: $15-20/hour

Key Responsibilities:

Recruitment & Pipeline Management (initial focus)

Support and manage recruitment pipelines for technical roles (primarily coding-related domains)
Screen and interview candidates, assessing both technical fit (at a high level) and overall suitability
Build and maintain talent pools for current and future project needs
Partner with stakeholders to ensure hiring pipelines are aligned with project requirements

Workforce Coordination & Talent Pool Evaluation

Assess the current talent pool and identify gaps based on incoming project requests
Support reactivation of existing talent and evaluate readiness for new projects
Collaborate with Workforce and Project teams to ensure supply meets demand
Contribute to workforce planning decisions by providing insights into talent availability and quality

Technical Assessment Support

Create and maintain basic technical assessments (e.g. HackerRank tests) based on project requirements
Understand role requirements (language, framework, seniority) to design relevant test structures
Collaborate with developers and project managers to validate and improve test quality
Continuously improve assessment quality based on stakeholder feedback

Cross-functional Collaboration

Work closely with Project Managers, Developers, and Workforce teams
Ensure alignment between hiring output and project expectations
Act as a bridge between recruitment and delivery teams

What we’re looking for

~3+ years of experience in technical recruitment
Solid understanding of technical roles and concepts (backend, frontend, full-stack, languages, frameworks)
Ability to evaluate technical profiles and understand project requirements
Strong organizational and coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
Proactive mindset with the ability to learn and adapt quickly
Strong communication skills and confidence working with technical stakeholders
