Why Join Turing?

Exceptional talent builds exceptional teams, and exceptional teams shape what Turing can achieve.

As a Technical Recruiter, you will own searches from intake through successful start. You will source, assess, engage, and close exceptional talent while partnering closely with hiring managers and candidates throughout the process.

Although the role is grounded in technical recruiting, you will support both technical and nontechnical hiring as business priorities evolve. You will also use AI, automation, data, and recruiting technology to improve quality, speed, and effectiveness.
