About Tradeify
Tradeify is a fast-growing proprietary trading firm redefining how traders access capital, technology, and opportunity. We operate at the intersection of performance, data, and community - and we move fast.
As we continue scaling across trading, product, marketing, and operations, our People team plays a critical role in building the teams that power everything we do.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Contract Recruiter with strong in-house recruiting experience to join our lean People team during an exciting growth phase. This is a 6-month contract covering maternity leave, with strong potential to convert to a permanent role based on performance and business needs.
This is a hands-on role for someone who knows how to operate internally - partnering closely with hiring managers, balancing priorities, and delivering hires that truly move the business forward.
You'll manage high-volume hiring while also working on interesting, well-defined roles across the company. If you love owning searches end-to-end, moving quickly without sacrificing quality, and being embedded in the business - you'll thrive here.
What You'll Do
- Own full-cycle recruiting for multiple open roles across the business
- Manage high-volume pipelines while maintaining a thoughtful, human candidate experience
- Partner closely with hiring managers to scope roles, calibrate quickly, and execute efficiently
- Source and engage candidates via LinkedIn, referrals, communities, and creative sourcing strategies
- Conduct recruiter screens and guide candidates through the interview process
- Maintain accurate, clean ATS data and recruiting documentation
- Identify opportunities to improve recruiting workflows, templates, and processes as we scale
- Act as a brand ambassador for Tradeify in every candidate interaction
What We're Looking For
- In-house recruiting experience required (startup or high-growth environment strongly preferred)
- Demonstrated success in high-volume hiring
- Strong sourcing and candidate engagement skills
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- Clear, confident communicator with a collaborative mindset
- Organized, proactive, and execution-focused
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with crypto, trading, fintech, or the proprietary trading world
- Experience recruiting for technical, trading, operations, or growth-focused roles
- Comfort working with remote, global talent pools
- People Ops or HR experience, particularly with onboarding
Why You'll Love This Role
- Be embedded in the business - not operating at arm's length
- Work directly with a collaborative, low-ego People team
- Recruit for roles that are meaningful, visible, and genuinely interesting
- Move fast, own your work, and see the impact immediately
- Fully remote and flexible
- Strong potential for long-term opportunity as Tradeify continues to scale
The Details
- Contract length: 6 months (maternity leave coverage)
- Long-term potential: Strong possibility of converting to a permanent role
- Location: Fully remote
- Compensation: $65,000 - $75,000 annualized
