Senior Recruiter

About the Role

Clutch's Talent Acquisition team is looking for a Senior Recruiter (Contractor) to own full-cycle recruiting across our GTM and G&A functions, along with ad hoc roles as they arise. This person will partner directly with hiring managers as a strategic advisor — not just executing on requirements, but shaping how searches run from kickoff through offer. On a lean, high-leverage TA team, this role requires someone who can move independently across a wide range of role types, bringing structure and momentum to every search they own.

What You'll Do

You'll run full-cycle recruiting for some of Clutch's most complex and highest-visibility searches, from Enterprise-level sales roles to G&A and ad hoc positions. You'll partner with hiring managers to define how you'll work together — candidate review cadence, decision-making, and mutual commitment to the process. You'll keep every search moving with intention, catching stalls early and recalibrating quickly when something isn't working.

Within 1 Month, you will:

• Have partnered with hiring managers across at least one GTM and one G&A search, running kickoff and aligning on how you'll work together

• Understand Clutch's standardized intake and screening processes well enough to apply them independently across role types

• Be actively sourcing and building pipeline for your assigned open roles

Within 3 Months, you will:

• Be running multiple full-cycle searches simultaneously across GTM and G&A with minimal oversight

• Have demonstrated the judgment to push back on a hiring manager's requirements when the data or market doesn't support them

• Have established a consistent cadence with your hiring manager partners that keeps searches from stalling

• Have made and owned candidate advancement decisions, recalibrating quickly on the rare miss

Within 6 Months, you will:

• Be a trusted strategic partner to your hiring managers — sought out for judgment on candidate fit and search strategy, not just execution

• Have a track record of closing complex, senior-level searches (e.g., Enterprise AE-caliber roles) efficiently

• Be operating with full autonomy across a varied portfolio of roles, requiring little to no ramp-up on new role types

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of proven full-cycle recruiting ownership on complex, senior-level searches (e.g., Enterprise AE or comparable GTM/G&A roles)

• Ability to challenge a hiring manager's requirements with data or market insight, not just take the brief at face value

• Experience partnering across multiple functions (GTM and G&A) rather than deep specialization in one

• Strong cadence and process discipline — proactively catches stalled searches rather than waiting to be told

• Comfort operating with minimal infrastructure or support on a lean team

• Clear, credible communication that sets expectations and holds hiring managers accountable to a shared process

• Sound, fast judgment on candidate evaluation, with the ability to recalibrate quickly when a call turns out wrong

Please note that this role may evolve as our business needs change, so we appreciate your flexibility and adaptability.

What’s In It For You?

• Remote Flexibility: Enjoy the freedom of remote work from anywhere, balancing life and career seamlessly.
