[Hiring] Technical Recruiter @Ashby

Role Description

Ashby is seeking a Technical Recruiter with a proven track record of discovering and hiring amazing technical talent. I’m looking for someone with breadth across technical hiring beyond just engineering (think Engineering plus some combination of Product Design, Product Management, IT, Security, QA, and Data).

We’re prioritizing a relationship builder who can partner with a wide range of stakeholders, manage multiple searches at once, and create a repeatable yet flexible process that works across the organization.

You’ll need to know how to adjust your approach and manage your time to be successful across different recruiting scopes. Here are a few examples of what might fall on your plate:

• Coaching first-time hiring managers on how to build an exceptional recruitment process from the ground up.
• Deep market mapping and analysis to predict where the next wave of top talent is currently being cultivated.
• Partnering directly with the VP/ founder level, where you need to extract key information in a limited amount of time.
• Balancing periods of managing multiple roles in different domains with times where you are deep-diving into a single position.

Please don’t expect to walk into perfect. Though we’re doing a lot of things well, the Tech Recruiting function is barely a year old, which means we are still figuring out how to operate optimally and at scale. But if you’re someone who is excited by the chance to build, we have a great foundation and every tailwind you could ask for.

If you’ve used Ashby before, that’s great! I’d love to dive into how you’re getting the most out of the product today. If not, I promise it’s not a blocker; in fact, none of the recruiters I’ve hired so far had used Ashby as their day-to-day ATS before joining.

Qualifications

• Proven track record as an expert “Engineering” Recruiter in a product-led company with some exposure to other technical roles such as Product Design, Product Management, IT, Security, QA, and Data.
• Ideally, have been focused on technical hiring from within a SaaS company for a significant portion of your career.
• You've owned hiring for staff+ technical roles. We're heavily weighted to senior+ engineering talent, so we need someone comfortable working on more senior searches.
• You’ve operated with autonomy and are used to leading searches end-to-end.
• You’ve worked somewhere with a very high talent bar and understand the subtle indicators that separate 'good' from 'great' technical talent.
• Data-driven mindset, able to optimize your workflows, balancing diversity, quality, and volume.
• Demonstrated experience in creating innovative sourcing strategies that differentiate the talent pipelines from the inbound attraction and referrals that we have traditionally used.

Requirements

• Boolean search and talent mapping activities.
• Requisition qualification with senior leaders.
• High volumes of outreach and screening calls.
• Prioritization of your workload.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity.
• 10-year exercise window for stock options.
• Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year.
• Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
• $100/month education budget with more expensive items covered with manager approval.
• Top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us.

Interview Process

At Ashby, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. We’ll dive into past projects and simulate working together via talking through past projects and conducting a short but realistic assignment. Our interview process is 4 rounds:
