ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Lead Technical Recruiting Consultant on the HirexHire team, you can expect to own the full-cycle recruiting process so support our partners' growth, with a focus on technical Engineering, Product, QA, and IT positions in early-stage and high-growth VC and PE-backed companies, primarily in the software space.
