Tech Recruiter

At BJAK, we move fast, and we expect our hiring to keep up. We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter who’s obsessed with results, thrives in chaos, and gets the job done. You’ll be the one turning urgent headcount into hired engineers and tech leaders. If the pipeline isn’t moving, you’ll push it. If candidates go silent, you’ll bring them back. If the role is hard to fill, you’ll find a way.

This is not a coordination role. This is a builder’s role. You’ll own technical hiring from end to end, work directly with engineering and product leaders, and make sure every critical role gets filled fast and with quality.

• Take full ownership of technical roles from intake to offer

  Proactively source candidates across multiple platforms, communities, and channels

  Monitor pipeline velocity, spot bottlenecks early, and resolve them aggressively

  Push hiring teams and candidates to keep processes moving — no unnecessary delays

  Drive structured interviews and guide interviewers on consistency and candidate experience

  Conduct thoughtful phone screens that go beyond buzzwords and test for real potential

  Track pipeline movement, candidate aging, and rejection reasons with precision

  Follow up relentlessly with candidates, hiring managers, and internal stakeholders

  Keep hiring momentum high and outcomes clear: hired or not hired — no grey zones

  Deliver a fast, transparent, human-first experience to all candidates

  What We’re Looking For

  • You are relentless — you do what it takes to get roles filled with quality

    You care deeply about end results, not just activity

    You’re comfortable pushing back, following up, and holding others accountable

    You operate with urgency — every day without a hire is a missed opportunity

    You’re resourceful — if you can’t find the perfect candidate, you find the best one available and make it work

    You’re emotionally intelligent — you build trust fast with candidates and hiring managers

    You’re metrics-aware — velocity, drop-off, offer rate, aging — all tracked, all optimized

    You’re startup-aligned — you work fast, adapt faster, and don’t wait for permission

    You’ll Thrive in This Role If You...

    • Take pride in closing roles, not just filling pipelines

      Have a sixth sense for strong tech talent — even if their resume isn’t perfect

      Don’t give up easily — you follow up, chase down, and make it happen

      Enjoy being the driver of the hiring process, not the passenger

      Have a strong sense of ownership — you don’t drop the ball

      Are clear, concise, and persuasive in your communication

      Know how to balance speed with candidate experience

      The Right Fit Has...

      • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (mandatory, to enable you to accurately assess candidates’ technical skills)

        2–4 years of experience in full-cycle recruitment, ideally in tech or high-growth environments

        Proven track record of filling technical roles under pressure

        Strong sourcing skills and familiarity with platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub, and Stack Overflow

        Experience using ATS platforms and tracking recruitment metrics

        Excellent stakeholder management and the ability to influence decisions

        Resilience, ownership, and an execution-first mindset

        Nice to Have

        • Experience hiring software engineers, AI, or DevOps professionals

          Familiarity with startup or scale-up hiring environments

          Regional recruitment exposure (especially Southeast Asia)

          Knowledge of structured and behavioral interviewing

          Our Team & Culture

          We’re lean, fast, and output-obsessed. Titles don’t matter — ownership does. We move fast, iterate quickly, and focus on results. Everyone is expected to drive things forward, take responsibility, and make decisions that matter.

          If you’re the type of recruiter who gets frustrated when things move slowly and would rather jump in and fix it, you’ll love it here.
