Engineering Recruiter

Cindavi is a technical recruiting company specializing in engineering placements. We've placed hundreds of engineers into companies that value technical talent and long-term fit, and we've built a proven 7-phase recruiting methodology that actually works.

We're hiring an early-career Recruiter to join our Austin team in Q1.

Here's a video explaining the position -

This role is built differently:

• Uncapped commission. Every placement directly increases your earnings. Top performers routinely out-earn their base salary in their first year.
• Transparent pay. $55K base with realistic OTE of $85K–$110K+. Your income is tied to performance, not tenure or politics.
• Hands-on training from founders. Daily coaching and real feedback from leaders who've placed thousands of engineers - not prerecorded modules or remote onboarding.
• Proven systems. Our 7-phase methodology removes guesswork with templates, frameworks, and playbooks at every stage.
• Structured ramp. Clear expectations for your first 30, 60, and 90 days. No guessing what success looks like.
• Real ownership. You manage candidate relationships end to end and build transferable sales and negotiation skills that compound over time.

This is not a sink-or-swim recruiting job. You'll be coached, trained, and supported from day one.

This role is ideal for someone 0–3 years into their career, including:

• Recent graduates ready to learn from the ground up
• Current or former SDRs, BDRs, or sales reps who want to build consultative skills
• Top performers stuck in roles with limited upside
• Professionals from customer-facing, performance-driven environments

• Are motivated by performance-based compensation
• Communicate clearly and confidently on the phone and in writing
• Take feedback seriously and improve week over week through repetition and coaching
• Stay organized while managing multiple priorities
• Enjoy structured processes that drive results
• Care about building real relationships, not just hitting quotas

As a Recruiter at Cindavi, you'll own the candidate relationship from first conversation through offer acceptance and start date.

You will:

• Speak directly with engineers and technical professionals
• Run structured phone screens and qualification calls
• Prepare candidates for interviews and gather feedback
• Support offer negotiations and close placements
• Stay engaged through start date to ensure successful onboarding

• OTE (On Target Earnings): $85,000–$110,000+ (uncapped)
• Commission: Paid per placement with a clear, transparent structure
• Career path: Senior Recruiter and team lead roles
• Promotions: Performance-based and earned through results

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
• 1–4 years in sales, account management, customer success, recruiting, or recent graduate with demonstrated drive
• Comfortable spending significant time on the phone
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Coachable mindset and genuine desire to improve

This role is onsite in Downtown Austin, TX.
