Position Summary

Taggd is recruiting an in-house sourcing and screening team for a large-volume engineering hiring programme running from September 2026 to January 2027. Personal spreadsheets, offline trackers and email or WhatsApp shortlists are not permitted.

Each recruiter carries around 10 live positions and works five sourcing channels in parallel, which is why the daily CV volume is high while the shortlist gate per position stays tight.
