[Hiring] Senior Recruiter @OpenGov

Role Description

OpenGov is on a mission to power more effective and accountable government — and our talent team is at the center of that growth. We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to join us on a short-term contract basis (2–3 months) to help execute against an active hiring load across our Sales and Professional Services organizations. This is a full-cycle, high-ownership role — you'll hit the ground running, partner directly with hiring managers, and drive pipeline without a ramp-up period. If you're a seasoned recruiter who thrives in fast-paced environments and can operate with a high degree of autonomy, this is your kind of engagement.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting across an assigned book of Sales and Professional Services requisitions, from intake through offer acceptance.
• Build and activate both active and passive candidate pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing tools, with a focus on SaaS sales talent and PS implementation/project management profiles.
• Conduct thorough candidate screens to assess fit against role requirements and OpenGov's hiring bar.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates and hiring managers throughout the interview process, ensuring a high-quality experience on both sides.
• Manage candidate data and pipeline activity in Ashby, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records.
• Partner with the Recruiting Manager on priority shifts, capacity alignment, and coverage needs for the duration of the engagement.
• Provide regular updates on pipeline health, velocity, and any blockers to hiring manager stakeholders across Sales and PS.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience required, ideally in a high-growth SaaS or technology company.
• Demonstrated experience recruiting for Sales roles (AE, Enterprise AE, SDR) and/or Professional Services roles (Implementation, Project Management, Solutions) strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to manage a high volume of open requisitions simultaneously without sacrificing quality.
• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and an ATS; experience with Ashby a plus.
• Strong stakeholder management skills — able to build credibility with hiring managers quickly and communicate pipeline status clearly.
• Self-directed and autonomous; this engagement requires immediate contribution with minimal onboarding.

Requirements

• Contract/W2 or 1099 engagement; no benefits included.
• US-based preferred; fully remote.

Compensation

• Remote: $45-$50 per hour.
• On target ranges above include base plus a portion of variable compensation that is earned based on company and individual performance.
• The final compensation will be determined by a number of factors such as qualifications, expertise, and the candidate’s geographical location.

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare options for individuals and families.
• Flexible vacation policy and paid company holidays.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid parental leave, wellness stipends, and HSA contributions.
• Professional development and growth opportunities.
• A collaborative office environment with weekly catered lunches.
