Vendelux is transforming how companies discover, evaluate, and maximize the impact of events.

Event marketers are the driving force behind pipeline and brand — yet events remain one of the least optimized and most opaque marketing channels. Vendelux changes that. We provide the system of record for event marketing, giving teams the data and insights they need to make smarter, more strategic decisions.

Our AI-powered platform delivers proprietary insights across 250,000+ events, helping high-growth companies identify where their ideal customers will be, maximize ROI, and turn events into a scalable growth channel. Customers often describe Vendelux as an event marketer’s dream. A key part of this is our growing network of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first-party attendee and sponsorship data, and in return gain access to valuable market insights.

In addition, Vendelux Meetings helps customers turn event insights into action — using AI to identify high-value attendees and automatically book 1:1 meetings with the right prospects at conferences. This allows teams to maximize pipeline generation and make every event materially more impactful.

Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series A SaaS company backed by leading investors including FirstMark, with a recent $14M round. Our team brings experience from companies like Bain, ZoomInfo, Airbnb, FanDuel, Shutterstock, Compass and more.

We’re looking for a seasoned Contract Recruiter to help scale our team during a period of high growth. You’ll play a critical role in attracting top talent across both Go-To-Market (GTM) and Technical functions, partnering closely with hiring managers, interviewers, and leadership to ensure a smooth and effective hiring process. This role will have a 5 day onsite requirement.

This will be a 6 month contract that can convert to full time.

Responsibilities

• Partner with full-cycle recruiters and hiring managers to understand open roles across both GTM (sales, marketing, partnerships, customer success) and engineering/technical functions.

• Execute high-volume, targeted outbound sourcing to build qualified pipelines for active requisitions — with a strong emphasis on passive candidate engagement.

• Craft personalized outreach sequences tailored to each audience — messaging for a senior AE looks and sounds different from messaging for a senior software engineer.

• Screen inbound applicants and sourced candidates at the top of funnel — assess for role fit and pass qualified candidates to the recruiting team with clear, well-documented assessments.

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date candidate records in the ATS; track outreach activity, response rates, and pipeline conversion to help optimize sourcing strategy.

• Research and identify new sourcing channels, communities, and talent pools relevant to both technical and GTM hiring.

• Provide regular pipeline updates and sourcing insights to recruiters and hiring managers, flagging any market signal or candidate availability trends.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of dedicated sourcing or recruiting experience, with demonstrated coverage across both GTM and technical roles — candidates with only one track will not be considered.

• Strong command of GTM talent markets — familiar with common sales and marketing org structures, role titles, career progressions, and what "good" looks like across seniority levels.

• Sufficient technical literacy to source meaningfully for software engineering roles — able to parse job specs, evaluate candidate backgrounds, and engage credibly with technical candidates.

• Proven ability to generate pipeline through proactive, creative outbound sourcing — not reliant on inbound volume or job board applications.

• Fluency with core sourcing tools: LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, and at least one ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, or similar).

• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving environment with minimal ramp time — this is a contract role and we need someone who can contribute quickly.

• Strong written communication skills; able to write outreach that gets replies, not ignored.

• Prior experience at a startup or high-growth tech company is a strong plus.

Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that’s ok! We are open to great people from non-traditional backgrounds.

Vendelux is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, gender, gender identity, parental or pregnancy status, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
