Senior Recruiter

Senior Recruiter | Recruteur·euse Senior

Location: Montreal, QC
Type: Short-Term Contract | Contrat court-terme
Work Arrangement: Hybrid

In this role you will:

• Own the full recruitment lifecycle for senior and highly specialized roles across the studio, including programming, art, design, and production.
• Source relentlessly. Boolean searches, market mapping, competitive intelligence, and direct outreach on LinkedIn, GitHub, ArtStation, Stack Overflow, and wherever else the talent lives.
• Tap into non-traditional pools: game jams, modding communities, open-source contributors, indie circles, international dev forums.
• Partner closely with our Talent Acquisition Business Partners and studio leaders (directors, tech leads, producers) to understand role requirements and shape sourcing strategy for each search.
• Represent Behaviour at industry events, conferences, community meetups, and campus career fairs to keep the pipeline full and the employer brand strong.
• Build long-term relationships with passive talent by understanding what motivates the best people in the industry.
• Contribute market intelligence and competitor insights to help shape offers that win.
• Contribute to strategic projects that strengthen how we attract and acquire top talent.

What we're looking for:

• 6+ years of full-cycle recruitment experience, with a real track record of hiring for hard-to-fill senior roles.
• Sourcing expertise that's genuine, not performative. You source because it's your bread and butter, whether that's Boolean strings, market maps, competitor intel, or direct outreach across multiple platforms.
• Industry fluency. You can speak credibly with developers, artists, designers, and the leaders who hire them.
• Relationship skills that hold up under pressure, whether you're coaching a hiring manager through a tough assessment or guiding a senior candidate through offer negotiations.
• A real passion for games. Ideally you've recruited for studios or shipped interactive products yourself.
