Freelance IT Recruiter

About us Capital Recruiters is a recruitment agency that has been helping technology companies hire strong professionals across Ukraine and Europe since 2007.

We are currently looking for an experienced recruiter for project-based freelance cooperation.

Who we are looking for We need someone who can manage a search independently, work with good speed and persistence, and does not require constant supervision.

For us, it is important that a recruiter does not simply “take a vacancy”, but actively moves it forward: searches for candidates, works with responses and objections, follows up, and brings strong candidates to the interview stage.

What you will do

• manage candidate searches independently;
• build search logic and Boolean queries;
• actively use LinkedIn and other sourcing channels;
• use several communication channels: LinkedIn, email, phone and other relevant channels;
• follow up with candidates who do not respond;
• handle objections and ask for referrals;
• conduct initial interviews;
• assess motivation, experience and fit for the role;
• keep all contacted candidates and communication history updated in our ATS;
• proactively flag problems if the search is not producing the expected results.

What we expect

• 3+ years of experience in IT recruitment;
• experience with Senior/Lead or other difficult-to-fill roles;
• understanding of Boolean search and sourcing logic;
• experience using LinkedIn for recruitment;
• high activity level and good working pace;
• persistence in candidate communication;
• strong sense of responsibility: if you take a role, it should consistently move forward;
• willingness to keep the search transparent in our ATS;
• enough current capacity to actively work on at least one project.

Expected pace At the beginning of a new search, we expect a strong initial push.

As a guideline, around 150 new relevant candidate contacts per week for an active vacancy, where the size of the market allows it.

Our standard is to present the first 2–3 strong candidates within 1–2 weeks.

If the search is not progressing as expected, we expect the recruiter to raise the issue early, show what is happening in the funnel, and suggest what should be adjusted.

What we provide

• 25% of the candidate’s monthly gross salary for every successful hire;
• access to our corporate ATS;
• LinkedIn Recruiter;
• SalesQL;
• Google Workspace;
• established recruitment processes, materials and support;
• interesting client projects across Ukraine and Europe.

Cooperation format Project-based freelance cooperation with no fixed salary.

We do not track working hours. What matters to us is the result, consistent activity, transparency of the search process, and responsibility for the vacancy you take on.

If you currently have real capacity to take on an active search and are ready to start quickly, we would be happy to speak with you.
