Tech Recruiter (China - Remote)

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
