Engineering Recruiter

Cindavi is a technical recruiting company specializing in engineering placements. We've placed hundreds of engineers into companies that value technical talent and long-term fit, and we've built a proven 7-phase recruiting methodology that actually works.

We're hiring an early-career Recruiter to join our Austin team in Q1.

Here's a video explaining the position - https://youtu.be/qJt_KrTWs5U

This role is built differently

• Uncapped commission. Every placement directly increases your earnings. Top performers routinely out-earn their base salary in their first year.
• Transparent pay. $55K base with realistic OTE of $85K–$110K+. Your income is tied to performance, not tenure or politics.
• Hands-on training from founders. Daily coaching and real feedback from leaders who've placed thousands of engineers - not prerecorded modules or remote onboarding.
• Proven systems. Our 7-phase methodology removes guesswork with templates, frameworks, and playbooks at every stage.
• Structured ramp. Clear expectations for your first 30, 60, and 90 days. No guessing what success looks like.
• Real ownership. You manage candidate relationships end to end and build transferable sales and negotiation skills that compound over time.

This is not a sink-or-swim recruiting job. You'll be coached, trained, and supported from day one.

• Recent graduates ready to learn from the ground up
