Recruiter (5 Month Contract)

5-Month Contract | Brooklyn, NY (4x/week in office) 📣 ROLE SUMMARY Topline Pro is hiring a Contract Recruiter to lead full-cycle recruiting across the org for a 5-month engagement, spanning Engineering, Customer Success, Product, Design, Marketing, and Operations. This isn't a role with clean job descriptions and obvious talent pools. You'll be hiring for roles that are still taking shape, where the profile evolves as the hiring manager clarifies what they actually need, alongside more clearly-scoped searches in Tech and Ops. You'll need to be comfortable defining a search before you can run it, skilled enough at sourcing to build a strong pipeline even when the "ideal candidate" is still a moving target, and versatile enough to move between technical and non-technical searches in the same week. This role reports into the Head of People and partners closely with hiring managers across the org. ⚡ WHAT YOU'LL DO Own Full-Cycle Recruiting – Source, engage, and close candidates across the org, including Engineering, Product, Design, Marketing, and Operations, managing the full process from intake to offer. Build Pipelines for Ambiguous Roles – Partner with hiring managers to translate a rough, evolving need into a real candidate profile, then go find those people. Many of these roles won't have a clean precedent internally, you'll help define what "right" looks like as you go. Other searches will be more clearly scoped, you'll flex between both. Drive Proactive Sourcing – Build sourcing strategies that go beyond inbound applicants. Reach passive candidates directly, especially for roles where the market is thin or the profile is unconventional. Partner with Hiring Managers – Run regular intake and pipeline reviews, keep hiring managers accountable to the process, and push back when a search needs to be re-scoped. Manage Candidate Experience – Keep candidates warm, informed, and moving through a fast-paced process. Represent Topline Pro well in every interaction. Report on Pipeline Health – Track key metrics (time-to-fill, source of hire, funnel conversion) and flag bottlenecks early. 🎯 WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves: - 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience - Strong, demonstrated sourcing skills. You should be comfortable building a pipeline from scratch, not just working inbound applicants - Experience recruiting for green or ambiguous roles in Marketing, Product, or Design, where the role definition wasn't fully settled when the search started Also important: - Comfort recruiting across both technical and non-technical functions, including Engineering and Operations, in addition to Marketing, Product, and Design - Experience in a high-growth startup environment, where priorities shift and searches move fast - Strong stakeholder management. You can push back on a hiring manager, ask sharp questions, and keep a search on track without hand-holding - Comfort managing multiple open searches at once - Available to work from our Brooklyn office 4 days a week for the duration of the contract 🤗 WHO YOU ARE - A self-starter who doesn't need a fully-formed job description to start sourcing - Someone who treats an unclear role as a puzzle to solve, not a blocker - Direct and organized, you bring structure to searches that don't have it yet - Comfortable with ambiguity and fast pace, this is a startup environment, not a corporate recruiting function - A strong communicator who keeps hiring managers and candidates in the loop without being asked 🙌 WHAT WE OFFER - Competitive contract compensation, commensurate with experience - 5-month engagement based in our Williamsburg, Brooklyn office (4 days/week) - A Wellhub Platnium membership and UberEats dinners - The opportunity to build real pipeline and make a visible impact on the org - A fast-moving, no-nonsense team that celebrates wins along the way 🤝 OUR VALUES No Bullsh*t: We create meaningful results for our customers and drive growth for our team, ensuring progress and impact are felt every day.
