Vendelux is building the category-defining platform for event marketing intelligence.
Events are one of the largest and most impactful marketing channels, yet historically one of the least measurable. Vendelux brings transparency and performance to this space — helping companies discover, evaluate, and optimize their event strategy with data.
Our platform powers thousands of event decisions by delivering proprietary, AI-driven insights across hundreds of thousands of events globally. At the core of our platform is a robust ecosystem of event organizer partnerships — where organizers share first-party data, enabling richer insights for customers while receiving benchmarking and audience intelligence in return. From identifying the highest ROI conferences to enabling targeted meeting programs, Vendelux helps companies turn events into a predictable and scalable growth engine.
In addition, Vendelux Meetings extends our platform by turning insights into pipeline — using AI to identify high-value attendees and proactively book 1:1 meetings between our customers and their ideal prospects at events. This enables go-to-market teams to drive measurable ROI and maximize every event interaction.
Founded in 2021, Vendelux is a Series B SaaS company backed by top-tier investors including FirstMark. We partner with many of the fastest-growing companies in the world, and our team includes leaders from Bain, ZoomInfo, Shutterstock, FanDuel, Compass, Airbnb, Forter and beyond.

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.
