About the role
Job Title:
Recruiter (1-5 Years Experience)
We are looking for an energetic and driven Recruiter to join our team. In this role you will help ambitious startups and growing companies hire outstanding talent across technology and go-to-market (GTM) roles. You will manage searches from sourcing and outreach through screening, submission, interviews, and placement, working closely with senior recruiters and account managers. This role suits someone who enjoys sourcing candidates, asking thoughtful questions, and understanding what makes a candidate right for a particular opportunity.
Responsibilities:
- Understand each search. Learn the client's business, the role's requirements, and what the hiring manager values. Distinguish essential requirements from preferences.
- Source and engage candidates. Use LinkedIn, talent databases, research, and targeted outreach to reach relevant people, including those who are not actively looking.
- Pitch opportunities effectively. Connect the company, role, and growth opportunity with each candidate's interests and motivations.
- Run thoughtful screening calls. Explore experience, achievements, and personal contribution to projects. Ask follow-up questions and confirm compensation expectations, location, work authorization, and availability.
- Evaluate and write up candidates. Prepare accurate submissions that highlight relevant evidence, explain strengths, and flag gaps or unanswered questions.
- Keep searches moving. Coordinate interviews, prepare candidates, follow up promptly, and guide them through the hiring process.
- Learn from feedback. Use client responses and interview outcomes to refine your search and improve future submissions.
- Stay organized. Maintain accurate records and clear, timely communication across multiple searches.
Requirements:
- 1-5 years of recruiting experience in an agency or in-house environment, with strong sourcing skills using LinkedIn Recruiter or similar tools.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, thoughtful screening skills, and the ability to write concise, convincing candidate summaries.
- Curiosity about technology and business, sound judgment, and attention to detail when assessing role fit.
- Strong organization and follow-through, a proactive approach, resilience, and openness to feedback. About Solve and the TopHire group

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
