Are you our Sr. Talent Acquisition specialist?

The ideal teammate for us would be someone who has:

• Proven experience as a Talent Acquisition Specialist or similar role, with +5 years of experience in recruitment within startups or fast-paced environments.
• Extensive experience in recruiting engineering profiles (experience recruiting Ruby on Rails, Python, Elixir, Javascript, React Native, or Unity profiles, is a plus).
• Deep knowledge about the tech world - tech-savvy - with a strong data-driven mindset.
• Strong knowledge of recruitment tools and techniques, including Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Specifically, previous experience with TeamTailor would be a plus.
• Ability to build strong relationships and collaborate effectively with various stakeholders/hiring managers of different levels and seniorities.
• Outstanding communication skills.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment with the ability to quickly adapt to changing priorities.
• Innovative mindset to design disrupting hiring strategies to attract the best talent in a very competitive environment.
• Fluent in both English and Spanish is a must.

English is a must. We are a multicultural team, and we are providing a service in English so, we don't care about certificates, but we expect you to be able to communicate fluently.

You should feel equally comfortable communicating in long-form writing. We have become a fully remote company so, we believe that being articulate in both spoken and written long-form asynchronous communication is key to working efficiently together.
