Technical Recruiter (Part-Time)
Ophelia
United States
About the Role:
Ophelia is seeking a part-time Technical Recruiter to lead hiring across our technology departments, including Software Engineering, Data, Product Management, and Product Design. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on sourcing incredible technical talent, building genuine relationships with candidates, and partnering closely with hiring managers to make amazing hires. It is a full-cycle recruiting role, including research, sourcing, interview coordination, candidate management, and closing. A successful Tech Recruiter at Ophelia is someone who is proactive, goal-oriented, and genuinely motivated by helping candidates find their dream in our growing tech teams. We’re looking for someone who can bring a strong point of view on what excellent technical hiring looks like, while staying flexible enough to adapt it to Ophelia's fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
This is a part-time role at approximately 20 hours/week, reporting to Ophelia's Talent Acquisition Manager.
Responsibilities:
- Own Full-Cycle Technical Recruiting: Manage sourcing, screening, and closing for open roles across the tech team; this could be software engineering, data/analytics, product, and design.
- Source Creatively: Go beyond inbound applicants by building and running proactive sourcing strategies to find passive, high-caliber technical talent; can easily manage complex or niche searches with narrow or highly specific requirements.
- Build Nurture Campaigns: Develop and maintain talent pipelines and nurture campaigns so we have warm relationships with strong candidates before roles open.
- Deliver a Great Candidate Experience: Ensure every technical candidate has a transparent, respectful, and well-paced experience with Ophelia.
- Design & Refine Interview Plans: Build effective, role-specific interview plans in partnership with hiring managers, and adjust them based on what's working, and what isn’t.
- Partner with Hiring Managers: Act as a trusted advisor to tech leadership, helping calibrate role requirements and interview processes, pressure-test job descriptions, and keep pipelines moving.
- Use Data to Drive Decisions: Track pipeline health and hiring metrics, and use those insights to identify bottlenecks and adjust sourcing or process in real time.
- Learn the Business: Develop a working understanding of Ophelia's way of working, and our tech team’s hiring preferences, so you can align your recruiting approach accordingly.
- Manage the Details in Greenhouse: Keep requisitions, candidate stages, and reporting clean and current.
Skills & Competencies:
- 4+ years of technical recruiting experience, in in-house or corporate recruiting roles.
- Well-networked; has dedicated time throughout their career building a fantastic network of technical talent that they can lean on in this role.
- Demonstrated success sourcing for complex technical roles in high demand, including software engineering, data/analytics, product, and/or design roles.
- Intrinsically motivated by service to hiring teams as you find real satisfaction in helping others hire well, not just in closing reqs.
- Collaborative by default; our Tech Team is rooted in an agile approach, centered on continuous alignment, growth, and learning.
- Highly organized, with the ability to juggle multiple searches and stakeholders without dropping details.
- Comfortable working with data and pipeline metrics to inform sourcing strategy and process improvements.
- A track record of building candidate nurture campaigns and pipelines, not just filling immediate reqs.
- Skilled at designing interview plans and iterating on them based on real hiring data and feedback.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, change, and a fast-paced, evolving environment; able to prioritize independently.
- Preferred:
- Greenhouse ATS experience
- Startup recruiting experience
- Healthcare recruiting experience
- We set compensation based on the level and skills required for the role. We value pay transparency and equity, and are committed to fair pay. In order to prevent pay disparities and reduce time spent in negotiations, we take a “first and best” offer approach: this means we’re not holding any compensation back from our candidates, and you can feel confident that our pay is fair and does not vary based on the strength of someone’s negotiation skills.
- Compensation is dynamic at Ophelia: as long as the company performs well and meets our targets, there will be opportunities for increased compensation annually. We’re happy to discuss this approach and our bands if you have questions during the interview process.
