Technical Recruiter

Hi! I'm Kristiine, and I'm Head of People at Modash.

I'm on the hunt for a Technical Recruiter to join me and Maarja on one of the most fun missions a recruiter can be on: finding exceptional engineers for a company that's genuinely on a roll.

Ever wondered how it is to join a startup while it's still small, still very much in the building era while starting to scale? This is it!

Background & reason for hiring

You know that magical moment where a startup grows into a success story? We're there. Modash has huge momentum - results are great, so is the team - we just want to grow faster. We're a team of over 80 people, remote-first, spread all around Europe with a hub in Toronto, Canada. This could be the chapter of your career you'll talk about for years.

Engineering hiring is at the heart of that growth, and we need someone who's seriously good at it. Right now that work sits with me and Maarja, but technical recruiting is its own craft and deserves a dedicated owner. That's you.

This is a brand new role - you'll build it the way you think it should be done. And as Modash keeps growing, the opportunities of things to own and explore are endless. Based in Europe, remote-first.

Scope of the role

You'll own technical recruiting end-to-end. Sourcing, pipeline building, candidate experience, closing - the whole thing. You'll be the person engineers remember as having given them the best recruiting experience of their career.

What you'll be doing:

• Sourcing and building pipelines for senior engineering roles (backend, data, product engineering, and more)
• Running the full process from first outreach to offer, making every candidate feel like they matter (because they do)
• Getting deep with hiring managers to understand what great looks like for each role and why it's hard to find
• You’ll be go-to-person engineering managers contact daily to discuss the hiring processes. Collaboration is the key - you’ll be extension for the team.
• Writing outreach that actually gets replies from people who weren't looking
• Bringing ideas and energy to make our recruiting function better over time

Requirements

What we're looking for:

• Prior experience as a Technical Recruiter - you've done this before and can point to roles you've filled and tell us why those hires worked out.
• Strong sourcing skills - you know how to find and engage senior engineers who aren't actively looking
• A track record of giving candidates an excellent experience, regardless of outcome
• Recruitment isn't just your job, it's your thing. You care about it deeply.
• A team-first mindset - if someone needs support outside your lane, you help. We work together.
• Curiosity and interests beyond tech recruiting - when the pace slows on the tech side, you're happy to roll up your sleeves and support other open roles or explore something new. We work as one team.

Benefits

Flexible working hours. We trust you to manage your time. Nobody will be watching the clock.

Unlimited paid vacation. Rest when you need to. We mean it.

Compensation. €48,000–€60,000 annual salary, depending on your experience. You'll also get stock options - real equity in a company that's genuinely on a roll.

Fully remote, Europe-based. We're remote-first through and through - work from wherever inspires you. We do ask that you're based in Europe so we can actually meet up every now and then (and yes, that's always a good time).

Personal development budget. Courses, books, conferences. If it makes you better at your job, we'll cover it.

Real ownership. This role didn't exist before. You'll define what great technical recruiting looks like at Modash - and you'll feel it.

A team worth joining. We're proud of the people here. Smart, kind, and genuinely invested in each other's success - that's the culture you'd be walking into.
