As a Sr. Tech Recruiter, you are expected to be a people connector who uses innovative techniques to hunt for the passive market. You will lead our Tech Recruiting team, focused largely on hiring for Software Engineers (and leaders), as well as various positions in IT and TechOps (such as DevOps and Security Engineers). You will split your time between managing a team of two Tech Recruiters, owning larger project initiatives, and doing core recruiting yourself. No matter what the role, you’ll be charged with driving a smooth and positive candidate experience at every step along the way, from the initial point of contact, through the offer acceptance and start date.

• Drive a positive candidate experience and support Enova’s employment brand by being a brand ambassador (both online and offline).
• Advise hiring teams on creating a robust recruiting process focused on quality hiring.
• Continuously research the Chicago Tech hiring market and recruiting industry trends.
• Organize and drive recruiting projects to completion while documenting the results and takeaways.
• Attend Chicago Tech networking events, Meetups and conferences to attract talent and stay connected with the market.

What you should have:

• 5-7 years of technical recruiting experience, preferably within the tech industry and with a Staffing/Search Firm background.
• Strong network of senior level technical talent (preferably Engineers and Leaders) in Chicago.
• Excitement for searching for unique, niche and highly-recruited tech talent.
• Proven results identifying passive candidates in a timely manner via creative recruiting strategies.
• Natural relationship building skills, and passion for nurturing relationships both internally with stakeholders and externally with prospects.
• Skills in the art of negotiation, and comfort managing the entire offer process; including salary recommendations, offer letter generation, and offer acceptances/declines.
• Must be able to travel to conferences or fairs as needed.
• A Bachelor’s Degree.

This opportunity is perfect for those who want to use their creativity to institute new ideas and processes.  We are seeking the best, to work with the best, in recruiting the best for Enova!
