Founding Tech Recruiter (Freelance)

About Pragmatike

Pragmatike is on a mission to help early‑stage startups, and scaleups — win the talent war and build exceptional tech teams.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Founding Tech Recruiter to build out our team as we embark on our next phase of growth. Someone smart — connected to the tech world — that moves, operates fast and efficiently — a superstar, a pirate. You will operate as a strategic partner in the heart of the startup ecosystem, pioneering how we find, attract, and engage the world’s best talent.

Why This Role Is Different

• Shape the future of tech hiring: Engage directly with the startup and tech talent community, and become a visible advocate for Pragmatike.
• Zero-to-one impact: Design the recruiting systems, processes, and standards from scratch, and partner with product and engineering to refine our hiring approach.
• High leverage: Recruit across a variety of functions, from engineering to go-to-market, and see your impact on the business firsthand.

You’re a Fit If You…

• Have 5+ years of experience recruiting for technical roles in‑house or at a search agency.
• Are at ease in startup environments and thrive amid ambiguity, rapid iteration, and high growth.
• Communicate clearly—both written and verbally—and make every candidate feel valued.
• Are well‑connected, respected by peers, and have a personal brand in the recruiting community (e.g., active LinkedIn, trusted network).
• Care deeply about quality, processes, and candidate experience.
• Are excited to work flexibly—this role is fully remote and freelance‑friendly.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience recruiting at early‑stage startups or high‑growth tech companies.
• Familiarity with AI, SaaS, or B2B talent markets.
• Enjoy writing or speaking about recruiting, talent, or startup culture.

Compensation & Benefits

• Flexible freelance contract with autonomy.
• Direct impact on company growth and culture.
• Opportunity to be Pragmatike’s first recruiter and shape our future.
• Fully remote work environment and flexible hours.
• Direct partnership with founders.
