Technical Recruiter - Contract or Full-Time

Tech Recruiter Job Description

1872 Consulting is a rapidly growing IT Recruiting and Consulting company focused on emerging technologies such as Cloud Computing, Data Science/AI and Blockchain. Our founders have worked for multiple IT recruitment companies in the past and have identified areas where most IT recruitment firms fall short, which we've capitalized on at 1872. Because of this, we've been able to grow rapidly and are now looking to expand our team. We have a windfall of new contract, contract to hire and direct hire positions coming open early 2020. We are looking for experienced recruiters to come in and demonstrate their abilities filling primarily contract positions.
