Technical Recruiter

We're seeking a Technical Recruiter who can juggle all of the balls that have to land properly in order to make multiple simultaneous hiring processes work. That means everything from posting the job through successfully filling the position. This also requires the ability to understand team needs and do initial filtering of candidates and resumes. It involves working with referrals and external recruiters where necessary too.

Specifically, the right fit for this position should be highly process oriented but also comfortable with sourcing and interviewing activities for technical roles. You will wear a lot of hats and coordinate with other team members in the operations function at NEAR and in similar roles at other companies across the NEAR ecosystem.

Exceptional candidates are deeply familiar with the blockchain and crypto landscape and the unique needs of sourcing talent that will interact primarily with technical users. This is not a good fit for someone who hasn't worked within tech recruiting or operations before.

This is a remote position with NEAR Inc.

Key Outcomes

• Time to fill per role is 2-weeks or less.
• Great internal and external employee experience.
• All open hiring processes run and conclude without dropped balls.
• For new positions, needs are turned into job descriptions quickly and accurately.
• Host a bi-weekly hiring committee with all stakeholders including the executive team.

Key Requirements

• Familiarity with Greenhouse
• Great at documenting ongoing and new processes
• Familiar with compensation strategy best practices
• Very strong project management and organization skills
• Experience sourcing, recruiting, coordinating, and screening for technical roles
• 3+ years in startup environments as a recruiter, hiring coordinator, or in operations
• A warm and professional "bedside manner" with candidates throughout their experience
• Familiarity with sourcing from non-traditional places such as GitHub, crypto-Twitter, and crypto insider events
