We're seeking an experienced, hands‑on in‑house recruiter to lead full‑cycle hiring for a 3–6‑month contract. You'll partner with leaders to clarify requirements, build diverse pipelines, run a structured process, and close top candidates quickly. This is an internal role (not agency).

What you'll do

• Seek Candidates through postings, network, and outreach.
• Screen candidates and make recommendations for consideration.
• Assess skills and values alignment; schedule interviews, run and prep interviewers.
• Create offers (comp bands/approvals, references, negotiations).
• Keep organized and maintain pipelines; ensure compliance and accurate reporting.
• Build hiring templates, interview kits, rubrics, and interviewer training plans.
• Report weekly on pipeline health, time‑to‑fill, funnel conversion, and risks with clear recommended actions.
• Enhance employer brand through clear, candidate‑focused job posts and content.

What you'll bring

• 3–5+ years of in‑house recruiting experience; consulting/engineering environment experience is a plus.

• A network of candidates to poll from.

• Proven success in filling technical roles quickly while maintaining high candidate satisfaction.

• Strong sourcing skills and fluency with recruiting tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).

• Proficiency with Applicant Tracking Systems and spreadsheet‑based reporting.

• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and offer‑closing skills.

• Commitment to structured, inclusive, and data‑driven hiring practices.

Nice to have

• Experience hiring for engineering consulting or professional services.

• Experience building interview rubrics/scorecards and training interviewers.

• Familiarity with Canadian employment practices (or relevant region).

Contract & logistics

• Duration: 3–6 months; full‑time (40 hrs/week).

• Engagement: Independent contractor or term employee (depending on local requirements).

• Compensation: Competitive hourly rate with bi‑weekly payroll.
