> Owns full-cycle technical recruiting for Engineering, Product, Design, and Data roles at a high-growth startup. Sources passive candidates using creative strategies and AI tools, partners with leadership on hiring, and closes senior hires with data-driven offer strategies.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do

- 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.
- Use AI as a multiplier: Bring genuine fluency with AI-powered recruiting tools to your day-to-day — candidate research, outreach personalization, pipeline summaries, sourcing signal. We're building AI-native workflows internally and expect you to be part of that.

## What You'll Bring

- A proven track record sourcing and closing engineering talent across multiple levels and disciplines — your output matters more to us than your year count, though most people who've done this well have 4+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting behind them
- Experience recruiting at a high-growth startup or fast-paced tech company — you know what it means to hire with urgency without compromising the bar
- Strong Boolean search skills and sourcing instincts for passive candidates who aren't on the market yet — you know where to find people who aren't looking
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills - you can sell a company vision, navigate complex offer negotiations, and create an exceptional candidate experience under pressure
- Data-driven mindset — you track pipeline metrics because they help you make better decisions, not because someone asked you to
- Real AI fluency — you're already using AI tools to do your job better, and you're curious about what's next
