Middle Recruiter

Lemon.io is a marketplace that connects top, vetted developers with startup teams around the world. When we say top developers, we really mean it. Here we reveal some of the magic that turns thousands of candidates into 1.2% of the chosen ones, ready to make your next project a blast. We need a recruiter to bring the best developers to the community to cover the client's needs. This is a wonderful chance to join a startup that cherishes autonomy, creativity, transparency, and a can-do attitude.

What you’ll be doing

• Own full-cycle recruitment for developers: from sourcing and first contact to interviewing and onboarding them to the platform.
• Source candidates via automated tools, job boards, social media, communities, referrals, and outbound outreach.
• Run competency-based screening calls: assess English, soft skills, motivation, and high-level tech background.
• Collaborate with Sales, Matching, and Customer Success to prioritise roles and quickly find suitable developers.
• Build and maintain pipelines for key tech stacks instead of hiring “for one vacancy only”.
• Keep candidate data and recruiting metrics up to date in our CRM and use them to improve the funnel.
• Suggest and test improvements in sourcing, processes, and candidate experience.
• Join team activities: digests, retrospectives, workshops, and knowledge sharing.

What we’re looking for

• Advanced English, written and spoken.
• 2+ years in IT recruitment/tech talent acquisition, ideally with remote roles.
• Solid full-cycle experience: sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, giving feedback, closing vacancies.
• Confident with sourcing tools (LinkedIn, GitHub, AI tools, job boards, communities) and ATS/CRM systems.
• Understanding of software development and common stacks (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Node.js, React, etc.).
• Comfortable with some evening hours to interview across time zones (don’t worry, it won’t be later than 8 pm Kyiv time few times a week)
• Curious about people, business, and products; you like to dig deeper, not just tick boxes.
• Strong, clear communication with candidates and teammates.
• Proactive and organised — you manage several roles and pipelines without losing candidate experience.
• Flexible mindset and readiness to adjust approaches as the market changes.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in IT recruitment / technical sourcing/talent acquisition (agency, product, or marketplace).
• Experience in a startup / fast‑changing environment is a plus.
• IT / recruitment / HR‑related certificates are a plus.

What you’ll get

• Startup culture with open, direct communication; our latest eNPS is 62.
• No monkey job: we automate everything that can be automated, so you focus on real recruiting.
• Competitive salary in USD.
• Fully remote work with flexible hours; office in Kyiv for those who like offline meetups.
• Non-toxic, non‑micromanaging environment — we hire adults and treat each other accordingly.
• 28 working days of vacation per year.
• 7 days of sick leave.
• Annual reimbursements for health, self-development, travelling, home office, mental wellness, etc.
• Help with maintaining your Ukrainian PE.

Your growth path.

 We’ll support your growth from Middle to Strong Middle and Senior. You’ll take on more complex searches (senior and niche roles, owning hires for specific projects), contribute to process improvements, and gradually move into mentoring and more ownership in talent acquisition.
