About the role
- The future of pay is real-time & predictive, and we're making it happen right now.
- The Recruiting Team @ Pave We're a small, high-leverage team - two recruiters and a dedicated coordinator - operating as trusted advisors to leadership on every major hiring decision.
- That means you can walk any candidate through exactly where our offers land in the market - with real data, full transparency, and genuine confidence.
Responsibilities
- Own the full hiring cycle: Drive end-to-end recruiting for R&D roles across Engineering, Product, Design, and Data - from sourcing passive candidates and crafting precise Boolean searches to closing senior hires who had multiple competing offers.
- Become a strategic partner - not a req-filler: Work directly with hiring managers and leadership to define role requirements, pressure-test job specs, build pipelines ahead of headcount approval, and contribute meaningfully to workforce planning as we scale.
- Source where others don't: Build and execute creative sourcing strategies using Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter, and unconventional channels. The candidates we want aren't applying - you'll go get them.
- Close with a data advantage: Own the candidate experience end-to-end - interview coordination, offer strategy, compensation discussions - and leverage Pave's own market compensation data to close candidates with confidence and transparency.
- Build the infrastructure, be ready to scale: Own pipeline metrics and reporting in Greenhouse and Gem, design and run our interviewer calibration and training program, and continuously improve recruiting process quality.
- As you develop, your role expands, your responsibilities deepen, and your compensation reflects the impact you're making.
