Technical Recruiter and Account Manager at Sage Recruiting

If you love recruiting but you’re tired of juggling every part of the job alone, you’re going to feel right at home here. Sage Recruiting is growing, and we’re looking for a seasoned Technical Recruiter and Account Manager who wants a role with real support behind it.

You’ll manage client accounts, run high-quality technical interviews and build strong relationships with hiring teams. The best part is you don’t have to hunt for your own clients, and you get sourcing support so you can take on more roles and close them faster. You still keep 100 percent of your commissions for full placements, and we offer splits when teaming up on searches or when a teammate brings a great candidate for your role.

We’ve built an audience of over 100K LinkedIn followers and earned more than 60 five-star Google reviews. We are very well-known in the software startup space and have built an excellent reputation. Our sourcers are senior-level professionals, exceptionally skilled at what they do, and one even holds a computer science degree. You focus on client management, candidate management, deep dive technical interviewing and some sourcing, while continuing to foster new business organically with clients. We’ll keep your workload sane so you can actually enjoy the work.

We supply some clients, only asking for 1-2 new clients a quarter, pending level (and a bonus for anything on top of that).

What you’ll own

• Full cycle account management, building strong, consultative relationships with founders, engineering leaders and hiring teams
• Expanding business within your existing client base
• Running high-quality technical interviews with engineering and product candidates
• Keeping communication clear and proactive with clients and candidates
• Giving feedback that’s direct, timely and genuinely helpful
• Championing the candidate experience while keeping searches moving
• Prioritizing roles, pushing momentum and managing expectations
• Sourcing as needed while partnering closely with a senior sourcer who handles the bulk of it
• Pipeline ownership in our ATS with clean notes and strong organization
• Representing Sage with transparency, expertise and zero fluff
• Coaching clients on market realities, salary expectations and competitive timelines
• Running kickoff calls that dig into the role, team culture and true must-haves
• Preparing candidates for interviews so they go in confident and informed
• Debriefing with clients and candidates to keep alignment tight and momentum steady
• Partnering with sourcers to refine search strategies when a role gets tricky
• Collaborating on split roles when applicable, keeping communication smooth, so everyone wins
