Role: Technical Recruiter
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
Experience Level: 7+ years of technical recruiting experience
Work Arrangement: Remote, with working hours aligned to 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time
Exceptional talent builds exceptional teams, and exceptional teams shape what Turing can achieve.
As a Technical Recruiter, you will own searches from intake through successful start. You will source, assess, engage, and close exceptional talent while partnering closely with hiring managers and candidates throughout the process.
Although the role is grounded in technical recruiting, you will support both technical and nontechnical hiring as business priorities evolve. You will also use AI, automation, data, and recruiting technology to improve quality, speed, and effectiveness.
Own the outcome: You will be accountable for your searches from intake through successful start, not simply for completing individual recruiting tasks.
Build trusted partnerships: You will work directly with hiring managers and candidates and influence hiring decisions through strong judgment and clear communication.
Recruit across markets: You will identify and engage senior technical talent across North America, Europe, and other global markets.
Raise the operating standard: You will help improve how Turing recruits through disciplined execution, better use of technology, and continuous process improvement.
Full-cycle recruiting experience: Seven or more years of experience independently sourcing, assessing, engaging, and closing candidates across the full recruiting lifecycle.
Senior technical recruiting experience: A track record of recruiting senior technical roles, including software engineering, AI, data, infrastructure, or related disciplines.
Global recruiting experience: Experience recruiting for roles in geographies outside your own, including North America and Europe.
Market familiarity: Familiarity recruiting senior technical talent in markets such as London, New York, and Seattle.
Talent intelligence: The ability to apply market insights to strengthen sourcing strategies, candidate assessments, compensation discussions, and hiring decisions.
Candidate and stakeholder judgment: Strong communication, relationship-building, organization, and judgment across candidates, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners.
AI-enabled execution: The ability to use approved AI tools, automation, data, and recruiting systems to improve recruiting quality, speed, and effectiveness.
Candidates whose experience is limited to recruiting coordination, interview scheduling, or transactional sourcing without full-cycle ownership will not be a fit for this role.
