Role Overview

Rwazi scales through disciplined talent acquisition.

The Recruiter executes the hiring engine — sourcing, screening, coordinating, and progressing high-quality candidates through structured evaluation pipelines.

They move qualified candidates through a structured, high-signal system.

The Recruiter is accountable for:

  • Generating qualified candidate flow

  • Maintaining structured candidate progression

Candidate Experience

  • Uphold Rwazi’s reputation in the talent market

Recruiting Metrics & Discipline

  • Stronger employer brand perception

What This Role Is Not

  • Not passive resume sorting

  • Not job posting only

  • Not administrative scheduling support

  • Not lowering bar to fill seats

This role requires judgment, pace, and structure.

Qualifications and Profile

We are looking for individuals who demonstrate:

  • 2–5+ years in recruiting (startup or high-performance environments preferred)

  • Experience hiring across multiple functions (Product, Ops, Finance, etc.)

  • Strong structured interviewing ability

  • Clear written and verbal communication

  • Ability to operate with speed and organization

  • Comfort working in metric-driven environments

Candidates may come from startup recruiting, marketplace hiring, agency environments, or internal talent acquisition teams.

Cultural Fit

We value recruiters who:

  • Protect the hiring bar

  • Move quickly without chaos

  • Maintain high ownership

  • Operate with clarity and professionalism

  • See recruiting as a system, not a task

How Candidates Are Evaluated

Candidates are evaluated based on:

  • Quality of sourced candidates

  • Funnel discipline and pipeline clarity

  • Communication clarity

  • Speed without compromise

  • Ability to maintain candidate momentum

Summary

The Recruiter powers the execution layer of Rwazi’s hiring engine.

This role ensures high-quality talent flows predictably into the organization as we scale.
