About Techy Recruiter

Techy Recruiter is a boutique talent consultancy working with startups across the Middle East and Europe. We are not a CV agency. We design hiring processes, run recruitment end to end, and build People Ops functions from scratch. AI and automation sit inside everything we deliver, not in the sales pitch.

We are small, founder led, and growing on the back of one thing: quality of delivery. You would be one of the first people shaping how this company works from the inside.

The role

You will run recruitment end to end for our clients. You own the full cycle: intake with the client, sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and managing the process all the way to a closed hire.

Most of the roles you fill will be technical, engineering and product for startups. But this is not a tech-only seat. You will also close operations, quality, and people roles as our clients need them. If you only ever want to recruit software engineers, this is not the fit. We want someone who can hold a strong technical screen and just as happily run a quality engineer or an HR search.

The split looks like this:

Running roles (about 80%)

• Take client intake and turn a vague brief into a clear, structured search

• Source across channels, not just one. Find the people who are not answering job-board ads

• Screen candidates and build shortlists your client trusts

• Manage the process to close: scheduling, feedback loops, keeping candidates warm, handling offers

• Keep the client aligned so shortlists land instead of bouncing

Sharpening how we recruit (about 20%)

• Turn what works into reusable screening rubrics, sourcing playbooks, and outreach templates

• Every role you run makes the next one faster. You are building a library, not one-off searches

Who does well here

We hire on attitude first. Two traits matter more than anything on your CV:

You own things and you never go silent. When a search stalls or a placement wobbles, you say so within 24 hours. You ask for help early instead of disappearing into a problem. Bad news delivered fast is respected here. Silence is not.

You move fast without cutting corners. You care about craft. You use tools and automation to work smarter, not to skip the thinking. Done well and done quickly are the same goal, not a trade off.

If you recognize yourself in both, keep reading.

What you need

• 3 to 6 years in recruitment

• You have run the full cycle yourself: sourced, screened, and closed. Not just one slice of it, and not with an agency doing the hard parts for you

• You have recruited technical roles and can screen them credibly without being an engineer yourself

• You are comfortable recruiting across role types, not locked to one function

• Strong spoken and written English. You will be in front of both clients and candidates

• Organized in an ATS. Your pipeline is clean and your notes are useful

What makes you stand out

• Recruited across more than one market or region, especially EMEA or GCC

• Genuine curiosity about AI sourcing tools. You do not need to be an expert. We run a stack most recruiters have never touched, and we need you to want to learn it

• A blend of agency and in-house, or startup recruiting where you owned a lot with little around you

Work conditions

We practice what we sell to clients, so this is straightforward:

• Contractor agreement, remote, full time capacity

• Paid monthly in USD against your invoice

• $500 to $650 USD per month base, plus a bonus for every role you close, with a written review at 90 days

• Flexible hours with core overlap from 11:00 to 16:00 Cairo time

• 21 working days off per year plus Egyptian public holidays. Yes, as a contractor. That is the point

• 30 days notice, both ways

• After 6 months and continued company growth, we open the conversation about formal employment

• Full access and training on our stack: Ashby, Metaview, LinkedIn Recruiter, Clay, Fireflies, Claude, n8n and more

• Occasional travel may come later, fully covered

Your first 30 days have one focus: take over one live role end to end on our process and stack, and turn what you learn into one documented improvement to how we screen. It is how we will know you can run a search solo and make the machine better, not just work a req.

How we hire

1. Screening call (30 min). Your background, your questions, honest answers about the company stage

2. Working session (60 min). A real sourcing and screening scenario from our work. No trick questions, no free labor. We want to see how you think

3. Founders round (45 min). Attitude and ways of working, with Tarek

4. Offer. Decision within 3 working days of your final round. We tell you either way

We respond to every applicant. If it is a no, you will hear it from us, not from silence.
