About the role

  • There's no large team to hand work off to.
  • You're the first person a candidate meets and the one accountable for whether they're sharp enough to clear our bar.
  • We expect you to take ambiguous, high-level direction from a hiring manager and turn it into a sharp, targeted search, knowing exactly who you want before the role even opens.

Responsibilities

  • Partner closely with hiring managers to understand each role deeply, then translate abstract asks into concrete target lists, calibration, and a close plan
  • Build deeply targeted sourcing strategies. Know the companies, the teams, and the individual people worth pursuing before a search opens
  • Manage pipeline data with integrity and bring evidence to calibration conversations. Spot funnel problems early instead of relying on gut
  • Drive offers end to end, including extending, negotiating, and closing
  • Lead the work that raises how recruiting operates here: interview loops, scorecards, interviewer training, and the playbooks the rest of the talent team runs on the next search

Requirements

  • A track record hiring for genuinely hard roles.
  • You can hold a credible conversation with a hiring manager about the work, not just the title, and walk through exactly who you placed and why they cleared the bar

Compensation

  • OTE is $105,000 to $160,000, depending on experience.
  • Compensation may also include equity and other long-term incentives.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical (PPO and HSA options), dental, and vision
  • HSA, Healthcare FSA, and Commuter Benefits
  • 100% employer-paid life insurance + AD&D
  • 100% employer-paid long-term disability insurance
  • Responsible PTO.
  • Recruiters will earn a performance-based discretionary bonus tied to hiring outcomes and contributions to the function.
