Lead Technical Recruiter

Lead Technical Recruiter - Southteams

We’re looking for someone who enjoys connecting technical talent with great opportunities and keeping every search organized, agile, and moving forward.

At Southteams, we like clear processes, good ideas, and people who make things happen. You’ll work closely with our team and international startups, managing technical searches from start to finish and contributing ideas to improve how we recruit.

If you enjoy finding hard-to-reach talent, asking good questions, and combining structure with creativity, we’d love to meet you.

What you’ll do

• Manage technical searches from start to finish: understand the role, source candidates, interview, and support the process through the offer stage.
• Work with hiring managers to understand what they need and translate it into a clear search.
• Find and engage talent through personalized messages and creative sourcing strategies.
• Conduct initial interviews to assess experience, communication, motivation, and alignment with the role.
• Coordinate technical interviews and keep candidates and hiring managers up to date.
• Keep the ATS updated, follow up on feedback, and make sure no process gets stuck.
• Create a friendly, professional experience for every candidate.
• Suggest simple improvements to templates, tools, and processes that help us work better.

What we’re looking for

• At least 3 years of recruiting experience, with hands-on experience in technical searches.
• Bilingual proficiency in English, both spoken and written, to interview candidates and work with international clients.
• Familiarity with software engineering roles and their main technologies; curiosity to learn about new roles.
• Experience designing and running sourcing and outreach strategies across LinkedIn Recruiter and other channels, tailoring messages and follow-ups to engage talent who aren’t actively looking for a job.
• Ability to manage multiple searches in parallel with organization and attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills: you know how to ask questions, listen, and follow up.
• Initiative and autonomy to handle day-to-day work and ask for context when you need it.
• A practical mindset: you appreciate processes that help things move forward and find ways to simplify them.
• Comfort with digital tools, AI, and the pace of a startup.

How we work

We like clear pipelines, timely feedback, and useful documentation. We also like trying new channels, writing messages that are human, and changing our approach when something isn’t working.

At Southteams, we’re constantly changing, adapting, and evolving. You won’t always have a playbook to follow, so you need to feel comfortable figuring things out, adapting to change quickly, bringing ideas, and creating structure as you go.

For us, working lean means using time well, focusing on what adds value, and improving as we learn. There’s room to contribute ideas, experiment, and build together.

Tools

LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS, Notion, Asana, Google Workspace, and AI tools like ChatGPT. We value your ability to learn quickly and use good judgment when choosing the right tool for each situation.

What we offer

• 100% remote.
• Flexible, results-driven environment.
• Work with startups and international teams.
• Space to learn, contribute ideas, and improve how we recruit.
• Birthday day off.
