Technical Recruiter, Engineering
About the role
Northwind Systems is hiring a recruiter in Toronto, ON. Recruiting here is a craft role with real ownership: you run the process, you write the outreach, and you have a say in the hiring bar rather than only scheduling around it. Candidate experience is treated as a product with users.
We pay one Canadian band rather than adjusting by city, so a candidate in Halifax and a candidate in Toronto see the same number for the same work.
What the work actually looks like
The work is sourcing and outreach that people actually reply to, running structured interview loops, and keeping the process fast enough that good candidates do not go cold. You will also do the unglamorous parts well: scheduling, feedback chasing and clear, prompt rejections. The team works a hybrid week out of Toronto, ON, usually three days together and the rest wherever you work best.
What we look for
This is a mid-level role. You should already be able to take a loosely specified problem, break it down and ship it without close supervision. We are looking for someone who understands what the roles they hire for actually involve, writes well, and holds a hiring manager to the standard the process promised. Data literacy about your own funnel is expected.
Working at Northwind Systems
The team spans Eastern and Pacific time with a fixed four-hour overlap, and meetings are kept inside it. The range shown is the annual gross salary band for this role.

Northwind Systems
Northwind Systems builds the deployment and rollback tooling that sits between a merged pull request and a running service. Around four thousand engineering teams use it, and roughly a third of them have never spoken to a salesperson — they found the CLI, tried it and expensed it.
Because our users are engineers, the bar for the product is unusually literal: an error message that is vague gets filed as a bug, and a documentation page that is wrong gets a pull request within the hour. We treat both as the compliment they are.
The company is headquartered in San Francisco with engineering hubs in Austin and Toronto, and about half of the team is remote across North America.
