Technical Recruiter
Modash • Tallinn, Harju County, Estonia
Posted: August 7, 2026
Job Description
Hi! I'm Kristiine, and I'm Head of People at Modash.
I'm on the hunt for a Technical Recruiter to join me and Maarja on one of the most fun missions a recruiter can be on: finding exceptional engineers for a company that's genuinely on a roll.
Ever wondered how it is to join a startup while it's still small, still very much in the building era while starting to scale? This is it!
Background & reason for hiring
You know that magical moment where a startup grows into a success story? We're there. Modash has huge momentum - results are great, so is the team - we just want to grow faster. We're a team of over 80 people, remote-first, spread all around Europe with a hub in Toronto, Canada. This could be the chapter of your career you'll talk about for years.
Engineering hiring is at the heart of that growth, and we need someone who's seriously good at it. Right now that work sits with me and Maarja, but technical recruiting is its own craft and deserves a dedicated owner. That's you.
This is a brand new role - you'll build it the way you think it should be done. And as Modash keeps growing, the opportunities of things to own and explore are endless. Based in Europe, remote-first.
Scope of the role
You'll own technical recruiting end-to-end. Sourcing, pipeline building, candidate experience, closing - the whole thing. You'll be the person engineers remember as having given them the best recruiting experience of their career.
What you'll be doing:
- Sourcing and building pipelines for senior engineering roles (backend, data, product engineering, and more)
- Running the full process from first outreach to offer, making every candidate feel like they matter (because they do)
- Getting deep with hiring managers to understand what great looks like for each role and why it's hard to find
- You’ll be go-to-person engineering managers contact daily to discuss the hiring processes. Collaboration is the key - you’ll be extension for the team.
- Writing outreach that actually gets replies from people who weren't looking
- Bringing ideas and energy to make our recruiting function better over time
What we're looking for:
- Prior experience as a Technical Recruiter - you've done this before and can point to roles you've filled and tell us why those hires worked out.
- Strong sourcing skills - you know how to find and engage senior engineers who aren't actively looking
- A track record of giving candidates an excellent experience, regardless of outcome
- Recruitment isn't just your job, it's your thing. You care about it deeply.
- A team-first mindset - if someone needs support outside your lane, you help. We work together.
- Curiosity and interests beyond tech recruiting - when the pace slows on the tech side, you're happy to roll up your sleeves and support other open roles or explore something new. We work as one team.
