• Partner with engineering leaders to define role requirements, calibrate candidate profiles, and establish effective interview and assessment plans.
• Build diverse, high-quality talent pipelines through proactive outreach, talent mapping, market research, and creative sourcing channels.
• Develop targeted outreach strategies that engage passive candidates and build relationships with high-priority talent.
• Quickly turn new hiring priorities into actionable search plans, independently building pipelines and moving qualified candidates through the funnel.
• Conduct recruiter screens to assess relevant experience, motivations, and alignment with role requirements.
• Serve as a trusted talent advisor, sharing market insights and providing clear recommendations on search strategy, candidate profiles, and hiring decisions.
• Manage multiple searches and adapt to shifting priorities while maintaining momentum and a strong candidate experience.
• Use recruiting data to evaluate pipeline health, identify bottlenecks, and recommend adjustments that improve hiring outcomes.
• Partner with compensation, People, and business stakeholders to develop competitive offers and support successful candidate closing.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and recruiting activity in Greenhouse.
• Share best practices, support teammates, and improve recruiting processes to help the team scale.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of technical recruiting experience, including full-cycle ownership of engineering searches.
• A proven track record of hiring technical talent across multiple levels, including senior individual contributors and engineering leadership.
• Strong hands-on sourcing skills, with demonstrated success identifying and engaging passive candidates for difficult-to-fill roles.
• The ability to operate independently, move quickly, and make sound decisions with incomplete information.
• Experience partnering directly with engineering leaders and influencing hiring decisions through market knowledge, data, and thoughtful recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build credibility with candidates and stakeholders.
• Experience using an ATS and recruiting metrics to manage searches and improve results; Greenhouse experience is a plus.
• Experience succeeding in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment with evolving hiring needs.
