Tech Recruiter
Spade's first technical recruiter will own full-cycle hiring for engineering and data science roles, partnering with founders and hiring managers to build efficient processes and source top talent in a fast-growing fintech startup.
Responsibilities
- Manage full-cycle recruiting for technical roles, from intake and job setup through offer close, flexing to non-technical as business priorities evolve
- Partner with hiring managers and founders to define role requirements and interview plans, building processes that are efficient and give high-signal
- Build and execute sourcing strategies to generate qualified pipelines, with a focus on passive talent outreach and attracting top-tier talent in competitive markets
- Deliver a high-quality candidate experience at every stage — timely communication, clear expectations, and thoughtful feedback loops that reflect Spade’s company values
- ATS administration (Ashby), including job setup, candidate tracking, interview scheduling workflows, and overall hygiene
- Track and report on hiring metrics — funnel health, hiring velocity, and pipeline bottlenecks — to inform decision-making and recommend adjustments
- Drive recruiting process improvements by evolving templates, scorecards, tooling, and best practices as the team and company scale
Requirements
- 2+ years in a technical recruiting capacity (with at least 4 years of total work experience, ideally in a talent-related role: coordinating, sourcing, ops, etc)
- General understanding of engineering + data science roles and related technologies
- Experience partnering directly with hiring managers to define role requirements and run structured interview processes
- Comfort owning the full recruiting lifecycle independently — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and supporting offer processes - ideally in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment
- Proficiency with recruiting tools (ATS, CRM, Sourcing) - Ashby experience a huge plus
- Empathetic, with strong candidate communication and relationship-building skills, and a track record of delivering delightful candidate experiences
- Based in NYC with ability to work out of our Flatiron office at least 2 days/week
