Senior Technical Recruiter
Scientific Safety Alliance (SSA) · Remote (US) · Full-time
We're hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for the technical talent that powers SSA's branches — the Field Service Technicians, Field Service Managers, and engineers who become our Scientific Safety Professionals. This is a builder's role for someone who loves the hunt, holds a high bar, and wants real ownership in a company that's scaling fast.
About SSA
Scientific Safety Alliance exists to Accelerate Science. Delightfully. Founded in 2022, we've become one of the fastest-growing private companies in the country — named to Inc. Magazine's 2024 and 2025 lists — creating $300M+ in enterprise value through 25 acquisitions in just over three years. Now we're building the team that will take us to $1B+.
We serve the life sciences world — pharma, biotech, hospitals, and research — by removing the operational friction that slows discovery down. And we're 100% founder- and employee-owned: the value you help create compounds directly for you.
What you'll do
- Own recruiting end to end — intake, sourcing, screening, interviews, offer, and close — with personal accountability for every hire.
- Hunt for A-Players — proactively find and win the top 10% of technical talent, the people who won't apply on their own.
- Partner with hiring managers across our branches to define what "great" looks like and guide confident, timely decisions.
- Source the passive market — LinkedIn Recruiter, advanced Boolean/X-ray search, referrals, and competitor talent mapping.
- Build pipelines ahead of demand and map talent in new geographies as we grow through acquisition.
- Tap industry communities (CETA, NSF, NEBB) and the broader field-service and skilled-trades network.
- Protect the culture — screen for our values and advance only people who'll thrive as owners.
What you bring
- 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting, with a track record hiring technical, field-service, skilled-trades, or engineering talent.
- Real sourcing mastery — you get replies from busy, employed professionals.
- An eye for A-Players and the ability to sell them on a mission-driven, employee-owned culture.
- Experience partnering with hiring managers, ideally across multiple or field-based sites.
- Bonus: exposure to field service, calibration/metrology, controlled environments, life sciences, or medical device.
- An ownership mindset — self-directed, entrepreneurial, and energized by fast growth.
Why you'll love it here
- Equity ownership in SSA — you share in the value you build
- 100% paid medical, dental & vision for you and your family
- 401(k) match
- Life insurance
- Generous PTO and parental leave
If you want ownership, autonomy, and a direct hand in scaling a mission-driven company — we want to hear from you. Apply today and help us Accelerate Science. Delightfully.
