We are seeking a highly proactive Contract Technical Recruiter / Executive Sourcer to support our growing fintech and real estate technology organization in Irvine. This role is ideal for a recruiter who is a true headhunter—someone who actively identifies, engages, and recruits high-caliber technology professionals rather than relying primarily on applicants coming through an ATS or job postings.

The recruiter will partner closely with Engineering, Product, Program, and Data Science leadership to build talent pipelines and fill specialized and hard-to-find technical positions.

Key Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for assigned technology positions, from talent identification through offer acceptance.
• Proactively headhunt and directly source passive candidates who are not actively applying to open positions.
• Develop creative sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, professional networks, industry communities, referrals, competitive intelligence, and other direct-sourcing channels.
• Research target companies and identify high-performing talent within relevant technology organizations.
• Engage passive candidates through personalized outreach and build relationships for both immediate and future hiring needs.
• Recruit across a variety of technical disciplines, including:
• Software Engineering
• Test Automation / QA Engineering
• Data Science
• Product Management
• Technical Program Management
• Other specialized technology roles
• Partner directly with hiring managers to understand technical requirements and define the ideal candidate profile.
• Translate technical requirements into effective search strategies and candidate profiles.
• Build and maintain targeted talent pipelines rather than depending solely on inbound applicants.
• Conduct initial candidate assessments and provide hiring managers with well-qualified, thoroughly screened candidates.
• Manage multiple searches and priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Track recruiting activity and candidate progress within the ATS while using the ATS as a management tool—not the primary source of candidates.
• Provide regular market feedback on candidate availability, compensation expectations, competitive talent, and sourcing challenges.
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience throughout the recruiting process.

The good faith base salary [or wage] range for this role at the time of posting and hire is $40.00 – $60.00 per hour. Actual compensation offered will be determined based on a number of factors, including but not limited to a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, experience, and geographic location.

Auction.com also offers a comprehensive benefits package for eligible employees, including (but not limited to): 

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Auction.com contributes an amount equal to 25% of your eligible contributions in our 401k plan.
