Outsourced Recruiter

Farel is a US-based startup building an airline operating system that unifies inventory, dynamic pricing, reservations, operations, and customer-facing apps into a single platform — replacing legacy PSS software. Backed by top-tier Silicon Valley VCs and Y Combinator, we help carriers launch in weeks. Our global team spans the US, Europe, and Central Asia, and we're growing fast.

We're looking to engage an experienced external recruiter on an outsourcing basis to support a short-term hiring project in the region. You'll work directly with the CEO and COO, owning the full recruitment cycle across both technical and non-technical roles. This is a focused, results-driven engagement — we need someone who hits the ground running, operates independently, and closes.

What you'll do

• Own full-cycle hiring — source, screen, interview, and close candidates for technical (engineering, product) and non-technical (sales, operations) roles

• Build and manage the hiring funnel — set SLAs for each stage, track time-to-hire, source effectiveness, and conversion rates; present insights and propose adjustments when something's off

• Drive proactive sourcing — LinkedIn, professional communities, referrals, niche channels; don't wait for inbound — find the outbound leads

• Raise the bar on process — improve interview frameworks, scoring rubrics, ATS setup, and offer templates; document what works, cut what doesn't

• Deliver a consistent candidate experience — every candidate, regardless of outcome, should leave with clear, professional feedback from Farel

Requirements

• 5+ years in recruiting, with at least 2 years in a high-load environment — startup, scale-up, or high-volume in-house team

• Proven track record closing both technical and commercial/operational roles, ideally within a single company

• Data-driven by default — you track funnel metrics, diagnose bottlenecks, and know what levers to pull to improve speed and quality

• Direct experience working with C-level stakeholders (CEO, COO)

• Self-managed and focused — able to prioritize across 5+ open roles simultaneously and hit deadlines without daily supervision

• Fluent English — interviews, written communication, and async collaboration with a global team

What we offer

Success-based fee structure — compensation is tied to closed hires.
