We’re looking for an experienced Recruiter with a strong focus on Defense and MilTech who knows how to find highly specialized talent others can’t.
We’re looking for a Recruiter who knows how to recruit beyond the obvious — someone who can find highly specialized talent in places where traditional sourcing doesn’t work.
At Beetroot, you’ll focus on building teams for Defense and MilTech projects, working with some of the most challenging and niche profiles in the market. Think engineers who build and test aircraft, assemble and disassemble drones, work with robotics and electronics, solder and prototype hardware, test unmanned systems, and combine engineering knowledge with strong hands-on skills.
This is not a role for someone who only searches LinkedIn and waits for applications. We’re looking for a recruiter who knows how to hunt for rare talent, explore non-standard communities and networks, understand where specific specialists actually spend their time, and find people who may never appear in a traditional candidate search.
In this role, you’ll become a true recruitment partner for our clients — helping them understand what kind of specialist they actually need, shaping the search strategy, and bringing the right people to the table.
What you’ll do in this role
Own end-to-end recruitment for highly specialized Defense and MilTech roles across Ukraine and international markets
Build and execute sourcing strategies for hard-to-find technical specialists, including hands-on engineering and other niche technical profiles
Hunt for candidates beyond traditional recruitment channels, using niche communities, professional networks, industry groups, events, universities, technical communities, and other non-standard sources
Identify passive candidates and build talent pipelines for highly specialized and difficult-to-fill positions
Conduct initial interviews and assess candidates not only against a job description, but also against the real technical and practical requirements of the role
Work closely with clients and internal stakeholders to understand their technical needs and translate them into realistic candidate profiles
Take a consultative approach to recruitment — challenge assumptions, ask the right questions, and advise clients on whom they should actually be looking for
Lead communication and negotiations with candidates and clients throughout the hiring process
Build strong relationships with candidates, especially within specialized Defense and MilTech talent communities
Keep our candidate database and talent pipelines up to date
Contribute to building Beetroot’s expertise and talent network within the Defense and MilTech ecosystem
We’re looking for
3+ years of recruitment experience, with solid experience in technical or IT recruitment
Proven experience recruiting for Defense, MilTech, or closely related technical domains
A strong understanding of the specialized technical talent market and where hard-to-find professionals can be reached
Proven experience hiring niche or difficult-to-find specialists
Strong sourcing and headhunting skills — you know how to find people who are not actively looking for a job
The ability to think creatively about sourcing and use non-standard channels, communities, networks, and approaches to reach candidates others cannot find
Enough technical curiosity to understand different types of engineering profiles and the practical requirements behind them
Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the confidence to communicate effectively with both candidates and clients
English at B2 level or higher — you’ll be working with international clients and candidates
A consultative mindset — you’re comfortable advising clients, asking challenging questions, and helping them define who they actually need to hire
A structured, reliable, and result-oriented approach to work
Good level of understanding of Defense, MilTech, engineering, and emerging technologies
