Recruiting Coordinator / Sourcing Specialist
Do you enjoy finding great people and building strong candidate pipelines? Do you care deeply about details, organization, and doing high-quality work behind the scenes? Are you driven and ambitious—motivated by thoughtful problem-solving, strong follow-through, and being part of a team that values recruiting the right way?
If that sounds like you, we want to know you.
About Pax Recruiting Pax Recruiting is a boutique, high-touch recruiting firm based in Austin, Texas. We partner closely with organizations across industries to help them build exceptional teams. Our approach is thoughtful, relational, and quality-first. We care deeply about people, long-term fit, and doing this work with integrity.

This person will help expand our capacity to identify strong candidates while preserving the high standard and personal touch Pax strives for.

Source and research candidates for open roles (LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and other job platforms, plus creative sourcing methods) Build thoughtful longlists of high-quality, relevant candidate profiles Draft and assemble clean, client-ready candidate profiles and summaries Support outbound outreach campaigns (sending messages, follow-ups, tracking responses) Own candidate logistics: scheduling interviews, coordinating availability, managing communication flow Maintain organized pipelines and candidate records (statuses, notes, next steps) Help build and improve internal systems, documentation, templates, and workflows as Pax grows Flag strong candidates for deeper review Keep searches moving forward with consistency, follow-through, and attention to detail

Candidate profiles sent to clients are clean, thoughtful, and well-organized Searches move faster and feel more controlled Internal systems, documentation, and workflows become cleaner and more useful over time because you’re constantly tightening them. The organization has more capacity to grow because the engine behind the scenes is running well. Pax’s quality and experience improve as capacity grows.
Why This Role Matters This is an early, foundational hire at Pax. You’ll help build the engine behind the scenes—sourcing talent, organizing searches, and creating the systems that allow a boutique firm to scale without losing quality. You’ll work closely with the founder and have real influence on how Pax operates day to day.
