FRACTIONAL EXPERTS - Technical Hiring Leader - NOT A FT ROLE

IMPORTANT - PLEASE REVIEW

• This is not a traditional recruitment role.
• This is not a full-time position.
• This is not for professionals seeking their next permanent seat inside HR or Talent Acquisition.
• This is for a senior technical operator who wants to shape how a business hires its engineers, without giving up the variety of a portfolio career.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Sourcing and candidate administration stay with the internal HR team. What organisations need is someone who has actually built and led engineering teams and can bring that judgement into the hiring process itself.

You would work closely with HR, hiring managers and senior technical stakeholders to lift the quality and consistency of technical hiring, right as the business scales.

WHAT YOU COULD OWN

• Review and sharpen technical job descriptions and hiring requirements
• Screen shortlisted candidates from a technical lens
• Build structured technical interview and assessment frameworks
• Run technical interviews across engineering, implementation, BA, UI/UX and product design roles
• Review technical tests and candidate submissions, and explain what an answer (right or wrong) really reveals about a candidate's capability
• Give hiring managers and HR clear, confident recommendations
• Calibrate hiring standards across interviewers and teams
• Build a technical hiring playbook an organisation can run with long after your engagement ends

WHERE YOUR EXPERIENCE SHOULD COME FROM

• Software engineering or systems integration
• Mission-critical technology environments
• Government or public-sector technology
• Large-scale implementation environments

Time at a Singapore-based systems integrator, NCS, Accenture or similar would be highly relevant.

THE OUTCOME WE PROVIDE OUR CLIENTS

Give businesses the technical hiring capability they need to scale fast, and free its architects and engineering leaders from carrying that load alone. Done well it may look like this

• Quality and consistency of technical hiring decisions
• Speed of candidate assessment
• Confidence in every engineering hire
• Alignment between HR and technical hiring managers
• Repeatability of the interview process itself

WHAT'S NON-NEGOTIABLE

You need to have been a credible senior technical practitioner, not a recruiter wearing a technical hat. That means:

• You've delivered software solutions end-to-end and know the SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) inside out
• You've interviewed and assessed engineering talent before
• You can look at a technical test and explain exactly what a candidate's choices say about them
• You understand the Singapore tech talent market
• You work well across HR, engineers, architects and leadership
• You're comfortable in a collaborative, mission-driven environment
• You can commit to onsite work in Singapore, minimum 3 days a week

HIGHLY DESIRABLE

• Previous Technical Lead, Senior Architect or Engineering Lead experience
• Time inside a Singapore systems integrator or government tech environment
• Exposure to global engineering teams alongside Singapore
• AI product development experience
• A track record of building interview frameworks or hiring playbooks from scratch

WHO YOU ARE

You're not just experienced, you're proven. You've got 10+ years leading engineering teams, a track record of shipping real outcomes, and the instinct to spot strong engineering talent from thirty seconds into a conversation. You're autonomous, credible with senior stakeholders, and energised by building a portfolio career rather than chasing your next full-time title.

WHY MAESTRO

We're a curated community, not a volume marketplace. From 25,000 applications last year, we interviewed 4,300 and onboarded 1,100 experts across AUNZ, Singapore and Hong Kong. You'll get access to high-trust engagements with PE firms, founders and scaling businesses, plus the platform and support that takes the friction out of building a portfolio career.

FINAL WORD

• If you're looking for a job, this isn't it.
• If you're a technical leader ready to shape how great engineering teams get built, we should talk.
