Sayari is seeking an exceptionally adaptable Contract Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our mission-driven People Team. This is a high-impact, 6-month contract role designed for a "pinch-hitter" who can pivot quickly to support the team’s most pressing needs. While the foundation of this role requires proven technical recruiting/sourcing experience (R&D, Engineering, Product), you must be comfortable shifting focus to handle a diverse range of responsibilities, including targeted sourcing projects, full-cycle recruiting for both technical and non-technical roles (e.g., Go-to-Market, G&A), and coordination support as needed. This role is ideal for a proactive, collaborative individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is driven by the mission of mapping the global economy by building reliable and transparent commercial data.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:- Be ready and willing to jump into any stage of the recruiting process across a variety of functions (Technical/R&D, GTM, G&A).
- Provide timely and accurate scheduling and coordination support, ensuring an excellent candidate and stakeholder experience, particularly during peak volume periods.
- Support the Talent Acquisition Partners by filling capacity gaps across the team's needs.
- Proactively identify and engage top-tier talent using creative outreach strategies and a strong emphasis on LinkedIn Recruiter.
- Own and drive end-to-end recruiting efforts for assigned roles, from initial intake and sourcing through screening, offer, and close.
- Ensure clear communication and a thoughtful, inclusive process for all candidates.
- Build and maintain robust talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs.
- Work closely with hiring managers and the People Team to understand requirements and refine strategies.
- 2+ years of experience in technical sourcing or full-cycle recruiting, with a focus on roles like Data Engineering and/or Software Engineering.
- Demonstrated technical sourcing proficiency, including expertise in using LinkedIn Recruiter and executing effective Boolean search strings.
- Exceptional adaptability and a "do-what-it-takes" mindset to pivot between sourcing, full-cycle recruiting, and coordination duties.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills capable of engaging and building rapport with both technical professionals and business stakeholders.
- Comfort operating with autonomy and managing time effectively in a fast-paced setting.
- A commitment to inclusive hiring practices and building diverse teams.
- Familiarity with Greenhouse is a plus.
- Familiarity with AI recruitment strategies and/or tools is a plus.
The target base salary for this position is $40-$65. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including location, local market variances, candidate experience and expertise, internal peer equity, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
