Junior Recruiter
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 11, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 10, 2026.
The Role
Great recruiting is matchmaking. The right person in the right role can change a team, and it can change that person's career. At Maleda Tech, we make those matches every day for technology companies that expect speed and won't compromise on quality.
We're looking for a Junior Recruiter who wants to get truly good at this craft. You'll recruit for a wide range of roles, from software engineers and data analysts to customer support, operations, and administrative positions, in a fast-paced contract staffing environment where the best candidate who arrives first wins.
What You'll Do
- Find the people others miss. Source and engage strong talent on LinkedIn, Indeed, and beyond, including passive candidates who aren't looking yet.
- Move fast without cutting corners. Turn new client requirements around quickly and submit candidates who are truly qualified, not just keyword matches.
- Tell real experience from a polished resume. Run sharp screens, use short skills checks you design yourself, and catch the warning signs of inflated or fabricated profiles before they reach a client.
- Partner with hiring managers. Join client and supplier calls, ask the questions that uncover what a role really needs, and shape your search around the answers.
- Create a candidate experience people remember. Keep every candidate informed with clear, honest, and timely communication, whether the answer is yes or no.
- Work smarter. Use AI and automation to speed up sourcing, outreach, and admin, so more of your time goes to people.
What You Bring
- 2-3 years of recruiting experience across both technical and non-technical roles
- The curiosity to learn any role quickly, plus enough technical fluency to tell whether someone has really worked with tools like SQL, Python, or cloud platforms
- A natural sourcing instinct and confidence searching job boards
- A sharp eye for detail and a healthy dose of skepticism
- Clear, confident writing and speaking, with candidates and hiring managers alike
- Everyday comfort with Google Workspace and AI tools
- The energy to manage a demanding workload and the drive to compete for every placement
- Authorization to work in the country of residence without sponsorship
Bonus Points
- Experience submitting candidates through a vendor management system (VMS) (ex. Magnit)
- A background in contingent workforce programs or agency staffing
- Experience building screening questions or skills assessments
- Familiarity with an applicant tracking system such as Breezy HR or Bullhorn
