Recruiter, Java Track

About the role

Run the candidate pipeline for our Java practice — mid-to-senior backend engineers across Spring, microservices, and platform work. You'll work alongside our QA-track recruiter, sharing a bench, a discipline, and a refusal to spam the market.

Responsibilities

• Source mid-to-senior Java engineers across Spring Boot, Kafka, JPA, AWS, and Kubernetes stacks.
• Conduct first-pass technical screens with enough depth to know which engineers we should and shouldn't put forward.
• Manage candidate relationships through the full arc: intake, submission, interview prep, offer, start, and check-in.
• Write submission notes that hiring managers actually read — short, specific, on-point.
• Coordinate with our Operations Lead on contract paperwork, onboarding, and timesheet rhythm.
• Show up at the six-month check-in for engineers you placed.

Qualifications

• 3+ years recruiting Java engineers in the US market, agency or in-house.
• Comfortable reading a Java resume — you should be able to spot a Spring Boot engineer who hasn't actually used Spring Boot since 2019.
• Strong written communication. Most of our submissions are read before any call happens.
• Honest relationship style. We don't do hard closes.
• Familiar with contract-to-hire, direct placement, and pure contract engagements.

Nice to have

• Background in Java development or technical project management.
• Experience working with VMS systems (Beeline, Fieldglass, etc.) without losing your soul.
• Existing relationships with mid-market and enterprise hiring managers.
