Tech Recruiter (China - Remote)
Job Description
Hire Fast. Hire Right. Build the Future.
At BJAK, we’re scaling fast-and we expect our hiring to keep up. We’re looking for a Tech Recruiter based in China who thrives in high-growth environments, understands the nuances of the China tech talent market, and delivers results without excuses. You’ll play a key role in hiring engineers, AI specialists, and technical leaders across China and Southeast Asia.
This is a remote position, working closely with BJAK’s headquarters in Malaysia and our product and engineering teams across the region. You’ll be hands-on, execution-focused, and comfortable working across time zones, cultures, and urgency levels.
This is not a support role. This is a builder’s role. You’ll own the full recruitment cycle, drive velocity, and ensure every critical tech role is closed with quality.
What You’ll Do
Manage full-cycle recruitment for key technical roles: software engineering, backend, AI/ML, DevOps, and more
Proactively source top candidates through China-relevant platforms like Boss直聘 (Boss Zhipin), Maimai, Liepin, Lagou, GitHub, LinkedIn, and WeChat groups
Conduct structured phone screens and assess for real skills and alignment, not just buzzwords
Partner closely with hiring managers to shape effective interview plans and drive accountability
Monitor key hiring metrics: time-to-fill, drop-off rate, candidate aging, and conversion rate
Push hiring processes forward - identify bottlenecks early and resolve them fast
Ensure clear, timely communication with candidates and internal stakeholders
Deliver a consistent, human-first candidate experience - even in high-urgency scenarios
Stay informed on market benchmarks, talent movements, and regional hiring trends
Represent BJAK professionally in the Chinese market and build candidate trust
What We’re Looking For
Deep understanding of the China tech recruitment landscape and how to compete for top talent
Experience using China-specific sourcing platforms and strategies
Fluent in English - confident speaking, reading, and writing
Strong ownership mindset - treats roles as personal responsibility, not task handoffs
High follow-up discipline - you don’t let candidates or hiring managers go cold
Metrics-aware - you care about what’s moving, what’s stuck, and why
Clear communicator who can work independently and influence decisions across remote teams
Comfortable in a fast-moving, outcome-oriented environment where speed matters
You’ll Thrive in This Role If You...
Take pride in closing roles under pressure, not just building pipelines
Understand local candidate behavior, expectations, and hesitations
Enjoy being the main driver of the hiring process - from kickoff to offer
Can build trust quickly, even in remote or cross-cultural conversations
Have a high sense of urgency and ownership over your results
Are resourceful, creative, and solutions-oriented in your approach
Qualifications
2-4 years of experience in full-cycle tech recruitment, ideally within China’s tech or startup space
Proven ability to fill engineering or product roles in competitive markets
Strong sourcing capabilities across Chinese and international platforms
Familiarity with ATS platforms and structured recruitment processes
Strong stakeholder management skills and ability to align hiring priorities
Based in China and able to work effectively with remote teams across Asia
Nice to Have
Experience hiring for backend, AI, or platform engineering roles
Familiarity with startup or scale-up tech environments
Exposure to cross-border hiring or Southeast Asian markets
Understanding of structured interviewing, assessment frameworks, or technical screening tools
Knowledge of hiring trends and talent mobility in China
Our Team & Culture
We are a lean, fast-moving team where ownership matters more than titles. Everyone is expected to take initiative, solve problems, and deliver meaningful results. We value speed, clarity, and full accountability, especially when it comes to hiring.
You’ll be working in a flat structure with decision-makers, hiring managers, and fellow recruiters who move quickly and collaborate directly. No layers, no politics - just real autonomy, high expectations, and clear outcomes.
If you enjoy working in a remote-first, high-trust culture where actions matter more than status, you’ll fit right in.

Remote flexibility with full autonomy in your role
Career growth in a fast-scaling, regional fintech company
Direct access to leadership and decision-making
Mission-driven work with real-world impact across Asia
