US IT Recruiter

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced US IT Recruiter with strong sourcing and recruiting expertise for IT roles supporting SOW (Statement of Work) engagements. This role requires a recruiter who understands technology concepts, not someone who simply searches resumes based on keywords.

The ideal candidate must have hands-on experience recruiting for US-based clients and a solid understanding of W2 and C2C hiring models, compliance basics, and competitive rate negotiations.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end recruitment for IT roles under SOW engagements
• Source high-quality candidates using Boolean search, LinkedIn, job boards, referrals, and networking
• Understand technical requirements deeply and screen candidates beyond keyword matching
• Evaluate candidates on technical knowledge, project experience, and communication skills
• Work on roles across technologies such as Cloud, DevOps, Data, QA Automation, Full Stack, ERP, etc.
• Negotiate competitive pay rates while maintaining profitability
• Manage W2 and C2C hiring processes including documentation and basic compliance checks
• Maintain strong candidate pipelines for recurring SOW projects
• Coordinate interviews, feedback, and offer discussions with speed and precision

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years of experience in US IT Recruitment
• Strong understanding of SOW-based engagements and project hiring models
• Experience working with W2 and C2C models
• Ability to read and understand technical job descriptions in depth
• Strong knowledge of US staffing basics (tax terms, work authorization, visa types, etc.)
• Proven experience sourcing niche IT skillsets
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills
• Ability to work independently and meet aggressive timelines

What We Are Looking For

• Recruiter with technical curiosity and understanding
• Someone who can ask intelligent screening questions
• Ability to differentiate between real hands-on experience vs. resume-driven experience
• Strong rate negotiation and market awareness
• Ownership mindset and accountability
