About the Role
As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you will independently own difficult technical searches and hire exceptional engineering and AI talent for ActAI globally.
What You Will Be Doing
- Own technical searches end-to-end across AI/ML, backend, frontend, mobile, infrastructure, and engineering leadership.
- Build talent maps and sourcing strategies for difficult searches across leading AI startups, technology companies, research organizations, and technical communities.
- Personally identify and headhunt high-quality passive candidates rather than depending on inbound applications.
- Assess technical profiles deeply enough to understand what candidates actually built, their individual contribution, and relevance to ActAI.
- Partner directly with engineering leaders to calibrate hiring bars, refine target profiles, and improve interview processes.
- Manage and close senior candidates through compensation discussions, competing offers, and other complex situations.
- Use recruiting data and market feedback to identify pipeline problems and continuously improve search strategy and conversion.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
