AI-Forward Recruiter / Talent Engineer

About ReWorks Solutions

ReWorks Solutions supports international clients by connecting them with exceptional talent across multiple industries. Operating in a fast-paced, high-volume recruitment environment, we continuously look for smarter ways to improve our processes, candidate experience, and delivery outcomes.

We believe the future of recruitment combines the efficiency of technology with the human touch that makes great hiring possible.

About the Role

We’re looking for an AI-Forward Recruiter / Talent Engineer who understands recruitment inside out and knows how to use AI, automation, and technology to transform how recruitment gets done.

This is not a traditional recruiter role, nor is it a position focused on recruiting AI professionals. Instead, you’ll combine practical recruitment experience with technical curiosity and hands-on automation skills to build smarter, more efficient recruitment workflows.

From automating application screening and candidate communication to improving video screening, sourcing workflows, and recruitment reporting, you’ll identify opportunities to reduce manual work, improve candidate quality, and help our teams deliver better results.

We’re looking for someone who doesn't just use AI tools but understands how to connect them, build workflows around them, test their effectiveness, and turn ideas into practical solutions.

• Track application volumes, screening outcomes, candidate conversion rates, pipeline movement, and turnaround times.
• Measure the effectiveness, accuracy, and efficiency of AI-driven workflows.

• Strong understanding of the end-to-end recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing and screening to shortlisting and placement.
• Practical experience with automation platforms such as n8n, Make, Zapier, Clay, or similar tools.

Highly Advantageous

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

You’re naturally curious about technology and constantly looking for ways to improve how things work. You enjoy solving problems, experimenting with new tools, and building solutions rather than simply identifying what needs to change.

You understand that successful recruitment automation requires more than technology alone. It requires a solid understanding of recruitment, candidate experience, client expectations, and the importance of human judgment.

If you’re a recruiter or sourcer who has developed strong automation skills—or a recruitment technology enthusiast with hands-on recruitment experience—and you’re excited to help shape the future of talent delivery, we’d love to hear from you.
