Hiring Manager
recur softwareChicago (IL)
About the role
Overview:
We’re building an enduring home for wonderful software companies. We acquire mission-critical vertical SaaS companies ($1-5M ARR) and unlock latent growth potential with AI & fintech. We’re a team of former investors from Accel, backed by some of the world’s leading technology investors including Reef Pass, Prosus Ventures, Accel and the founders of Mainsail and TCV. We’ve raised >$50M and are closing our fourth acquisition less than nine months after our seed round.
Role Overview:
We’re looking for our first Hiring Manager to design and run recruiting across Recur and our portfolio. This role is about more than filling jobs - it’s about building a repeatable talent engine that helps scale multiple SaaS companies at once. You’ll partner with founders and CEOs to bring in exceptional people, set up processes that last, and shape our reputation in niche software markets.
What You’ll Do:
Own full-cycle recruiting for Recur HQ and portfolio company roles across sales, product, engineering, and ops
Build scalable, structured hiring processes from scratch - and continuously refine them
Run sourcing campaigns and keep pipelines full with top talent from multiple channels
Shape job descriptions, interview plans, and candidate evaluations with hiring managers
Manage candidate experience end-to-end and ensure every touchpoint reflects our brand
Track recruiting metrics and turn data into sharper decision-making
Build our talent brand in overlooked but high-potential SaaS verticals
What We’re Looking For:
3-6 years of recruiting/talent acquisition experience (in-house or agency)
Strong sourcing skills and comfort engaging directly with candidates
Excellent stakeholder management - you can push and influence where needed
Highly organized, able to juggle multiple searches and priorities at once
Passion for spotting talent and helping teams grow
Entrepreneurial mindset: excited to build from zero and iterate fast
Why Join Us?
You’ll be the architect of our talent function - not just for one company, but across a portfolio of high-potential SaaS businesses. If you want ownership, variety, and the thrill of building something that scales, this is the role.
Location: Based in Chicago or New York, or willing to relocate.
Compensation: Competitive salary and bonus, depending on experience.

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.
