Job responsibilities
- Act as a strategic hiring partner to senior and executive stakeholders, translating business and headcount plans into concrete hiring strategies
- Own our most complex and business-critical searches end to end, including leadership and niche technical roles, from role definition through offer negotiation and closing
- Build and lead sourcing strategies for hard-to-reach talent markets, using market mapping and competitor insight to open pipelines where none exist yet
- Help set the standard for how we assess talent: design structured interview processes, scorecards, and selection frameworks, and coach hiring managers to apply them consistently
- Strong knowledge of US recruiting practices and employment considerations, including compliant interviewing, candidate selection, offer processes, and multi-state hiring.
- Own recruiting data and reporting for your areas, using funnel metrics and conversion insights to diagnose bottlenecks and drive decisions with hiring managers and leadership
- Mentor junior recruiters and act as a point of escalation, sharing sourcing craft, stakeholder management, and closing techniques across the team
- Drive improvements to our recruiting operations, from workflows in our ATS to process documentation that scales with headcount growth, to creative ways to automate manual work
Job requirements

- 5+ years of experience in talent acquisition, ideally in-house at a fast-growing tech or engineering company, including ownership of leadership or hard-to-fill technical searches
- A proven track record of filling complex roles through proactive sourcing, not inbound applications, with the market knowledge to map and open new talent pools
- Deep credibility with senior stakeholders: comfortable challenging profiles, pushing back on unrealistic briefs, and holding hiring managers to a structured process
- Strong command of structured assessment, from designing scorecards and interview loops to calibrating and coaching interviewers
- Fluency with recruiting data and ATS workflows, using funnel metrics to diagnose problems and propose solutions
- Experience mentoring or coaching less experienced recruiters
- Structured, organized working style with a high level of ownership and reliability
