Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Sales Development is a core engine in many SaaS go-to-market models, and this contract recruiting role sits directly in that throughput layer. By focusing on university pipelines and high-volume SDR hiring, it connects early-career talent programs with the revenue org’s near-term capacity needs. The emphasis on calibrated slates, structured screening, and consistent process signals a SaaS-style approach to hiring as an operational system rather than a series of one-off searches.
For a recruiting professional building a SaaS career, the work maps closely to how modern SaaS companies scale: tight alignment with GTM leadership, clear funnel stages, and measurable pass-through rates. Experience building TAMs for specific profiles and translating them into outreach plans is especially transferable across SaaS recruiting teams, where market mapping and pipeline strategy often matter as much as relationship building. Exposure to tools like Greenhouse and Modern Loop also strengthens operational fluency in common SaaS hiring stacks.
This role tends to suit someone who prefers structured execution, clean data, and predictable cadences, with comfort switching between campus-cycle coordination and production recruiting. It also fits a recruiter who wants close partnership with SDR leaders and is open to a hybrid rhythm anchored in Nashville.

Job Description
About the Role:
We’re hiring an Associate Recruiter on a 6‑month contract to support Intern and University programs and high‑volume FTE SDR hiring. You’ll build calibrated slates fast, partner closely with SDR leadership, and run a consistent, data‑driven process across sourcing, screening, coordination, and candidate experience. You’ll operate out of Nashville and align onsite cadence to team norms.
You will:
- Run sourcing-to-offer workflows for Interns/University and FTE SDR roles, partnering with SDR leadership and GTM recruiting.
- Build role‑specific TAMs (Total Addressable Market) for Intern/University and SDR profiles; present insights on target schools, programs, companies, and geo hot spots.
- Execute campus cycles end‑to‑end: events, info sessions, interview days, candidate communications, and offer coordination.
- Source at pace using LinkedIn Recruiter/Gem projects, build diverse pipelines, and run structured screens aligned to calibrated profiles.
- Maintain clean, timely data and stage movement in Greenhouse; leverage Modern Loop for efficient scheduling and self‑serve options.
- Drive candidate experience: crisp comms, expectation setting, timely feedback, and thorough selling of the opportunity and team.
- Share weekly pipeline health metrics and pass‑through rates; escalate risks early and propose concrete actions.
About you:
- 1–3 years in recruiting or sourcing (agency or in‑house), with hands‑on experience in Intern/University cycles and/or SDR/BDR hiring.
- Demonstrated ability to build TAMs and convert them into prioritized outreach plans and slates.
- Proficiency with Greenhouse ATS and Modern Loop; strong calendar/scheduling instincts and data hygiene.
- Structured, metrics‑driven approach; strong written communication and stakeholder management with hiring leaders.
- Nashville‑based; able to support occasional in‑office cadence aligned to team norms.
Location:
- This role is hybrid (2 days a week in our Nashville office)
