Role: Fractional Recruiter (generalist with product/tech lean)

Engagement type: Contract / fractional, hourly

Estimated scope: 10–15 hrs/week for the first 1–2 months, with flex as hiring volume changes

Location: Fully remote, anywhere in Canada

Start date: ASAP

Engagement length: 90 days minimum, likely longer (roles phasing in over 3–4+ months)

Mandate

A growing SaaS company needs a recruiter to step in quickly and close immediate hiring gaps. The urgent need is two product hires that must start by early September to allow for knowledge transfer before a team member begins mat leave. Beyond that, expect steady follow-on hiring across a mix of product, technical, and business roles.

Core responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting: sourcing, managing inbound, pre-screening, and driving process through to offer and day-one start

• Run pre-screens and first checks so internal interviewers only see qualified candidates — minimize load on senior team

• Keep the process moving: coordinate interviews, ensure the process is followed, manage offer-stage and pre-day-one handoff

• Flex capacity up or down as the hiring plan changes month to month

Roles in scope

Immediate (urgent):

• 2 product roles (GTA-based, hybrid) — target start early September

Follow-on pipeline (next 3–4 months):

• QA

• Engineers/developers (hybrid preference growing — managers shifting toward more in-person)

• Finance (controller vs. director still TBD)

• Ops

• Account management / customer success

Ideal profile

• Generalist recruiter with the pendulum swung toward product, engineering, and QA experience — has hired PMs and engineers before and knows those profiles without heavy hand-holding

• Not a hyper-technical specialist — must also be able to handle finance, ops, and account management hires as they come online

• Full-cycle operator: comfortable owning candidates from stage one through to day-one start

• Comfortable in a lean environment with variable, evolving hiring plans (some roles not yet defined)

Nice-to-haves

• Prior experience across PM, APM, QA, engineering, and finance/AP hiring

• Startup pace; able to calibrate level of effort after the first couple of weeks
