[Hiring] Senior Technical Recruiter @Honeycomb.io

Role Description

As a Senior Technical Recruiter at Honeycomb, you'll run a full desk of priority R&D searches and act as the talent advisor Hiring Managers call before they open a req, not after. You'll report to the Head of TA, partner directly with R&D leadership, and own how hiring gets done on your desk from intake to accepted offer.

What you’ll do in the role:

• Own full-cycle searches for R&D/Technical focused roles, from intake to offer acceptance, and deliver diverse, well-vetted slates on target timelines.
• Manage a full desk of priority reqs, keep candidates moving within our hiring SLAs, and keep Greenhouse data clean without being chased. This includes sourcing, interviewing, reviewing applicants, scheduling, etc.
• Advise Hiring Managers on search strategy and leveling, using market data, pipeline analytics, and compensation benchmarks to shape decisions rather than only carry them out.
• Build lasting advisory relationships with your Business Unit leaders: align stakeholders on a shared plan, guide debate to a decision, and explain the reasoning once it's made.
• Partner with the Head of TA to turn approved headcount into recruiting plans, and flag risks early with a proposed fix.
• Own the implementation of our competency-based hiring process by building Greenhouse scorecards, running interviewer kick-offs, and facilitating structured debriefs.
• Use DEI sourcing tactics that broaden representation and improve quality of hire.
• Analyze funnel metrics in Greenhouse and Gem, share what you learn with stakeholders, and improve the process, including cross-functional TA projects like interviewer enablement and candidate-experience NPS.

Qualifications

• Full-cycle recruiting experience in high-growth tech, with a track record of filling senior engineering IC and first-line manager roles.
• Experience running a full desk of concurrent reqs while holding to clear SLAs and quality standards.
• A history of acting as a talent advisor, where you turned funnel and compensation data into recommendations that changed hiring decisions.
• Hands-on experience with structured interviewing and ATS (scorecards, reporting, scheduling workflows).
• Measurable results from DEI sourcing and fair-assessment practices.
• Crisp written updates, plus experience facilitating productive kick-offs, debriefs, and pipeline reviews.
• Comfort having direct, kind conversations with Hiring Managers about candidates, leveling, or process, in line with Honeycomb's values of Ownership, Feedback Is a Muscle, and Kind Candor.
• Experience in a remote-first, fast-changing environment, and a habit of mentoring peers and improving process as you go.

Requirements

• Experience with Competency based hiring (nice to have).
• Experience utilizing AI to help make process improvements (nice to have).
• Preferred experience with Greenhouse.

Benefits

• A stake in our success - generous equity with employee-friendly stock program.
• It’s not about how strong of a negotiator you are - our pay is based on transparent levels relative to experience.
• Time to recharge with unlimited PTO.
• A distributed-first mindset and culture (really!).
• Home office, co-working, and internet stipend.
• Full benefits coverage for employees, with additional coverage available for dependents.
• Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave, regardless of path to parenthood.
• Annual development allowance.
• And much more...
