Role Overview We're looking for a Targeted Recruiting Specialist to own the contributor acquisition funnel — from sourcing the right technical profiles to getting them through onboarding and onto their first completed task. This is an operational role at its core: you'll build and run the systems, channels, and processes that let us recruit at scale, reliably and quickly. The right person is execution-oriented, thinks in funnels, and is comfortable with ambiguity. You won't just manage job postings — you'll own the full pipeline infrastructure, diagnose conversion problems, manage external sourcing partners, and make sure the right candidates get to the right projects with minimal friction. This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. You'll work closely with the broader Growth team and directly with recruiters to set priorities and drive execution. This role entails: Funnel Ownership Own all active and evergreen job funnels end-to-end — from posting to first completed task Track conversion at every funnel stage, identify drop-off points, and implement fixes Support AI interview gates and fasttracks — ensure they're running smoothly and converting qualified candidates Build and own the intake-to-execution process for new sourcing requests — so that when a new project spins up, the recruiting pipeline is ready Sourcing & Partnerships Manage relationships with BPOs and external sourcing partners — evaluate quality, negotiate terms, and hold them accountable to targets Write and manage evergreen job postings across LinkedIn and other relevant channels Explore and test non-conventional sourcing channels — communities, academic partnerships, niche forums — to find what converts best for technical profiles Quality & Coordination Vouch for the quality of incoming recruits and ensure headcount targets are met per project Work closely with recruiters to prioritize open roles and coordinate execution Collaborate with the Community team to align on what a high-quality recruit looks like and build screening processes that filter for it upstream What You Bring Operationally sharp — you build systems and processes, not ad hoc workflows, and you think in funnels naturally Experienced in recruiting ops, workforce planning, or growth operations — you've owned a pipeline and hit targets Data-driven — you track funnel metrics, know where things break, and fix them systematically A strong executor who's comfortable with ambiguity and works well independently Creative about sourcing — you don't just post on LinkedIn; you find the pockets where the right people actually are Excellent written communicator — you can write a job posting that converts and a sourcing message that gets replies Background in high-volume or technical recruiting, staffing operations, or marketplace supply growth preferred
