Contract Recruiter

Job description

About the Role myKaarma is looking for a highly hands-on Recruiter to join our People team on a contract-to-hire basis. This role is designed for someone who can step in quickly, understand what we need, build candidate pipelines, and move hiring forward without a lot of infrastructure or oversight. The immediate focus will be supporting high-volume hiring across U.S. operations and customer-facing functions. This will include sourcing and pipelining candidates, managing active requisitions, coordinating interviews, and helping hiring managers consistently move qualified candidates through the process. We are looking for a recruiter who is comfortable operating at pace, knows how to source beyond job postings, and can balance volume with sound candidate judgment. The role may expand over time as our recruiting needs evolve, but the immediate priority is execution and recruiting capacity. What You'll Do Own recruiting activity across a portfolio of U.S. operations and customer-facing roles. Build and maintain strong candidate pipelines through proactive sourcing, outreach, referrals, talent communities, and other channels. Partner with hiring managers to understand the role, clarify requirements, and establish an effective sourcing approach. Conduct recruiter screens and provide clear, concise candidate assessments. Coordinate interviews, feedback, and next steps while maintaining a strong candidate experience. Maintain accurate candidate and requisition information in Rippling. Provide regular visibility into pipeline health, activity, and hiring progress to leadership and hiring teams. Support recruiting projects and additional hiring needs as priorities evolve. What We're Looking For The right person is a strong individual contributor recruiter who can hit the ground running. You likely have: 4+ years of recruiting experience, preferably in an environment with meaningful hiring volume. Strong sourcing skills and demonstrated ability to generate candidate pipelines proactively. Experience recruiting for operations, customer success, support, sales, implementation, or other customer-facing roles. Comfort managing multiple requisitions and changing priorities at the same time. Strong recruiter judgment and the ability to distinguish between activity and actual pipeline quality. Excellent written and verbal communication. Strong organization and follow-through. Experience working directly with hiring managers and influencing recruiting strategy when needed. Experience with an ATS; Rippling experience is a plus. A practical, roll-up-your-sleeves approach to recruiting. How You'll Stand Out You will stand out if you are the kind of recruiter who can take a new requisition and immediately answer: Where are the candidates? How do we reach them? What does a healthy pipeline look like? And what needs to happen to get this role filled? We need someone adaptive, who can create structure where it does not yet exist, prioritize effectively, and keep hiring managers and candidates moving. Contract-to-Hire This position is expected to begin as a contract role with the potential for conversion to full-time employment based on business needs, performance, and mutual fit. The initial focus is on providing immediate recruiting capacity and delivering results across our U.S. hiring priorities. As our needs evolve, the scope of the role may expand. What Success Looks Like In the first several months, success will look like: Strong, active pipelines for priority roles. Consistent sourcing activity and meaningful candidate generation. Faster movement of qualified candidates through the recruiting process. Hiring managers who have clear visibility into their pipelines and next steps. Accurate and current recruiting data. The ability to independently manage a meaningful recruiting workload. We know great candidates don't always match every requirement. If this role excites you and your experience aligns with many of the qualifications, we'd encourage you to apply. Skills can be learned—we also value curiosity, ownership, and a willingness to grow.
