Versant is seeking an experienced Contract Technology Recruiter to help build critical technology, data, AI, and product capabilities across a rapidly evolving organization.

This is a hands-on role for a recruiter who combines deep technical recruiting experience, advanced sourcing expertise, and strong consultative stakeholder management. You will recruit specialized and difficult-to-find talent while serving as a trusted advisor to hiring leaders—helping them understand the talent market, calibrate requirements, and develop effective strategies for building their teams.

What You’ll Do

• Recruit specialized technology talent across software engineering, data engineering, AI/machine learning, analytics/data science, infrastructure/platform, and product, with searches ranging from individual contributor through senior leadership levels.
• Lead advanced sourcing strategies for difficult-to-find talent. Proactively identify and engage passive candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, Boolean/X-ray search, talent and market mapping, targeted communities, networking, referrals, and other creative sourcing approaches.
• Serve as a consultative talent advisor to hiring managers and senior leaders. Lead intake and calibration discussions around role requirements, must-have versus trainable skills, talent availability, target companies, level, compensation, and realistic hiring expectations.
• Bring market intelligence into hiring decisions. Use sourcing results, candidate feedback, competitive intelligence, compensation considerations, and talent-market data to challenge assumptions and recommend changes to search strategy or role requirements when appropriate.
• Own the full recruiting lifecycle from intake and sourcing through assessment, interview, offer, and close while managing approximately 15–25 concurrent requisitions and maintaining a strong candidate and stakeholder experience.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships across hiring managers, HR, Compensation, interview teams, and recruiting partners through proactive communication, clear expectations, frequent updates, and early identification of risks or challenges.
