Job Description
Turing seeks a Senior Technical Recruiter to join its team in Cape Town, South Africa, operating with work hours aligned to 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time. Turing focuses on accelerating superintelligence to drive real economic progress, partnering with frontier AI labs to create high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and research benchmarks. The company also collaborates with Fortune 500 enterprises to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems.
In this position, the professional will manage full-cycle recruitment searches independently from intake through to a successful start. The candidate will own tasks including sourcing, assessing, engaging, and closing talent while collaborating directly with hiring managers. While centered on technical hiring, responsibilities also encompass nontechnical recruitment across geographic markets such as London, New York, and Seattle. Professionals in this role leverage approved artificial intelligence, automation, data, and recruitment technology to enhance speed and effectiveness while maintaining human judgment and data confidentiality.
Ideal candidates bring extensive full-cycle recruitment experience, specifically focusing on senior technical positions like software engineering, artificial intelligence, data, and infrastructure. The posting notes that experience limited strictly to recruitment coordination, interview scheduling, or transactional sourcing without full-cycle ownership is not a fit.

- Provide recommendations regarding candidate qualifications, talent availability, compensation expectations, and hiring strategy
- Evaluate candidate qualifications, experience, and role alignment using structured interviews and consistent standards
- Develop closing strategies based on candidate motivations, competing opportunities, and compensation expectations
- Utilize approved artificial intelligence tools, automation, and recruiting systems to decrease administrative work and accelerate candidate progression
- Maintain accurate and complete requisition and candidate data in Greenhouse and other relevant systems
Requirements
- Seven or more years of independent full-cycle recruiting experience encompassing sourcing, assessing, engaging, and closing candidates
- Track record of recruiting senior technical roles such as software engineering, AI, data, and infrastructure disciplines
- Experience recruiting for roles in geographic markets outside your own, including North America and Europe
- Familiarity recruiting senior technical talent in competitive markets including London, New York, and Seattle
- Ability to apply market insights to strengthen sourcing strategies, candidate assessments, compensation discussions, and hiring decisions
- Experience using artificial intelligence tools, automation, recruiting analytics, or other technology to enhance execution
