Senior Recruiter, QA Track

About the role

Own the candidate side of our QA practice — sourcing, vetting, prepping, and standing behind QA engineers placed into client engagements. This is a long-arc role for someone who already knows the difference between a manual tester and a contract-testing zealot, and who'd rather place ten engineers carefully than fifty hastily.

Responsibilities

• Source and vet QA candidates across automation, performance, and SDET-level work — primarily Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, REST Assured, JMeter, and K6.
• Run technical screens that go beyond keyword matching. We expect a working understanding of contract testing, flake triage, and modern test architecture.
• Build and maintain relationships with a long-term bench. Most of our best placements come from candidates we've known for two-plus years.
• Prep candidates for client interviews with substance, not scripts.
• Negotiate rates honestly, in plain English, on both sides of the table.
• Stay engaged with placed engineers through the six-month check-in and beyond.
• Collaborate with the Java track recruiter and Operations Lead on cross-staffed engagements.

Qualifications

• 5+ years recruiting in IT staffing or in-house tech recruiting, with at least 2 years focused on QA roles.
• Working vocabulary in QA tooling — you should be able to tell a candidate's story to a hiring manager without leaning on the resume.
• Track record of placements that stuck. We'll ask for retention numbers.
• Calm, deliberate communication style. We are not a firm of high-volume cold callers.
• Comfortable with vendor-network work (MSP/VMS) and direct client relationships.

Nice to have

• Background in QA before recruiting (yes, really — we've hired a few of these, they're excellent).
• Experience with regulated industries (healthcare, financial services, insurance).
• Existing network of senior QA engineers in the US tech market.
