This role builds the technical hiring pipeline for Univers, finding and closing engineers, researchers, and technical specialists across all seven divisions.

You will source candidates from Toptal-level talent pools, run structured technical screening processes, and partner with hiring managers to fill critical roles. You will build relationships with universities, technical communities, and professional networks to create a consistent flow of high-quality candidates.

This is not a role for traditional recruiters who rely on job boards. It is a role for someone who knows how to find people who aren't actively looking, how to evaluate technical fit, and how to sell Univers to candidates who have many options.

This role is for someone who understands technical hiring, can speak credibly with engineers about their work, and knows the difference between a good CV and a good hire.
