Job Summary

OpenGov is on a mission to power more effective and accountable government — and our talent team is at the center of that growth. We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to join us on a short-term contract basis (2–3 months) to help execute against an active hiring load across our Sales and Professional Services organizations. This is a full-cycle, high-ownership role — you'll hit the ground running, partner directly with hiring managers, and drive pipeline without a ramp-up period. If you're a seasoned recruiter who thrives in fast-paced environments and can operate with a high degree of autonomy, this is your kind of engagement.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting across an assigned book of Sales and Professional Services requisitions, from intake through offer acceptance

• Build and activate both active and passive candidate pipelines using LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing tools, with a focus on SaaS sales talent and PS implementation/project management profiles

• Conduct thorough candidate screens to assess fit against role requirements and OpenGov's hiring bar

• Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates and hiring managers throughout the interview process, ensuring a high-quality experience on both sides

• Manage candidate data and pipeline activity in Ashby, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records

• Partner with the Recruiting Manager on priority shifts, capacity alignment, and coverage needs for the duration of the engagement

• Provide regular updates on pipeline health, velocity, and any blockers to hiring manager stakeholders across Sales and PS

Requirements and Preferred Experience

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience required, ideally in a high-growth SaaS or technology company

• Demonstrated experience recruiting for Sales roles (AE, Enterprise AE, SDR) and/or Professional Services roles (Implementation, Project Management, Solutions) strongly preferred

• Proven ability to manage a high volume of open requisitions simultaneously without sacrificing quality

• Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and an ATS; experience with Ashby a plus

• Strong stakeholder management skills — able to build credibility with hiring managers quickly and communicate pipeline status clearly

• Self-directed and autonomous; this engagement requires immediate contribution with minimal onboarding

• Contract/W2 or 1099 engagement; no benefits included

• US-based preferred; fully remote

Compensation:

Remote: $45-$50 per hour

On target ranges above include base plus a portion of variable compensation that is earned based on company and individual performance.

The final compensation will be determined by a number of factors such as qualifications, expertise, and the candidate’s geographical location.
