Full Job Description
ABOUT CANALS Canals builds software for wholesale distributors, helping them operate more efficiently through automation and AI. Our customers are the companies responsible for moving the materials that power the real economy; electrical supplies, plumbing products, roofing materials, HVAC equipment, and more. Every day, thousands of people rely on Canals to help process orders, manage purchasing, handle accounts payable, and streamline critical business workflows. We're a profitable, rapidly growing company with a team of roughly 100 people distributed across North and South America. We care deeply about building great products, hiring exceptional people, and creating an environment where talented individuals can do the best work of their careers. THE ROLE We're hiring a Technical Recruiter to join a small but high-performing talent team and help us continue scaling Canals. This is a true recruiting generalist role. You'll work across engineering, product, design, operations, customer success, and go-to-market hiring depending on where the business needs support most. One week you might be building a search for a senior backend engineer. The next, you could be helping close a product manager or partnering with leadership on a new hiring initiative. You'll be responsible for generating top-of-funnel talent through outbound sourcing, referrals, networking, events, and inbound candidates. You'll conduct thoughtful first-round interviews that effectively assess talent while getting candidates excited about the opportunity. You'll partner closely with hiring managers, provide market insight, help improve recruiting processes, and play a meaningful role in shaping how we build teams. This is a challenging environment. We hire quickly, we hire selectively, and we expect recruiters to think critically rather than simply execute a process. Success here requires adaptability, strong judgment, curiosity, and the ability to learn new domains quickly. The upside is that recruit
