Contract Technical Recruiter — AI, Infrastructure & Hardware

Remote (US) · W2 contract (via EOR) · Typically 3–6 months

Blaze Talent is an embedded recruiting firm built by operators. We've hired inside the kinds of companies our clients are trying to become — and now we partner with teams building at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and hardware to help them scale. We don't headhunt; we build hiring engines. Our clients are the compute platforms, neoclouds, hardware companies, and deep-tech teams pushing the frontier, and they bring us in because we deliver like insiders, not vendors.

We're building our bench of contract technical recruiters, the people we embed with our clients to own full-cycle hiring for their hardest roles. This is a seat for a recruiter who's technically fluent and genuinely curious: grounded in at least one of our domains, with the range and appetite to work across all three. You'll work directly with our clients' engineering leadership, run a tight process, and carry both the client's mandate and the Blaze Talent high-touch standard.

It's embedded, full-cycle work on frontier problems: the interesting reqs and the insider standard, without the agency grind.

Because our clients span AI/ML, software, and infrastructure/hardware, the recruiters who thrive here aren't locked into one lane. They start strong in one domain and build fluency across the others as engagements shift.

This is a W2 contract role. You'll be employed through the Blaze Talent Employer of Record (EOR) partner, which serves as your legal employer for payroll, tax withholding, and administration while you're embedded with one of our clients.

Engagements typically run 3–6 months, with potential to extend

Pay range: $45–$65/hour, depending on experience and engagement.
