Opal · Vancouver, BC · In person · $60-80K CAD base equivalent + up to $20k CAD bonus
Opal issues credit cards for ad spend. Agencies and brands run millions in Meta and Google budgets through us. We're seed stage, we're hiring across the company, and I don't want to spend the next six months doing it myself.
This is a full-time contract engagement: 3 months to start, extending to 6+ if it's working. You are our recruiting function for that window. One client, one focus, with us.
What you'll own The whole funnel
- Write the job posts, run the sourcing, screen the candidates, book the interviews, chase the references, and push offers to close
- Own the calendar. If I'm interviewing someone, you put them there.
- Keep the pipeline visible. I want to know how many people are at each stage without asking.
Sourcing
- Go find people. LinkedIn, referrals, alumni of local startups, whatever works.
- Build lists we keep after you leave. The pipelines you create should outlive the contract.
The roles
- Account management, go-to-market, engineering, and admin, across Vancouver and Southern California
- Some of these are the first of their kind here, so you'll help define what "valuable" looks like, not just match a spec
Leaving us better than you found us
- Document the process: scorecards, interview loops, screening questions, outreach templates, and the ATS setup
- When the contract ends,
we should be able to run the next hire without you
You're a fit if
- You've recruited in-house at a startup, not just agency-side. You know the difference between filling a req and finding the person who fixes the problem
- You can source. Not post and pray
- You move fast. Good candidates are gone in ten days
- You have a real Vancouver network, and ideally something in fintech, SaaS, or agencies
- You're comfortable being told no and coming back with three better options
- You're nice to candidates. Every one of them talks about us afterward, hired or not
You're not a fit if
- You need a fully built process handed to you.
- You're looking for a résumé line rather than the work.
Terms
- Full-time, 3 months to start, extending to 6 based on results
- Base equivalent to $80,000 CAD/year
- $10,000–20,000 CAD bonus per role filled that clears probation, tiered by role
- Onsite in Vancouver
- If it goes well and you want to stay, we'll talk about it
