Summary

Own full-cycle recruiting for engineering, product, and design roles at a well-funded startup. Partner directly with hiring managers and execs on high-priority searches using data, AI, and proactive sourcing.

About the role

What You'll Own

  • Recruit full-cycle across EPD: drive searches across engineering, product, design, and other technical functions from intake through close.
  • Be a thought partner to hiring managers: run sharp intakes, calibrate on searches, and design interview loops that consistently surface top talent.
  • Build creative, proactive sourcing strategies that go beyond the obvious channels to find and engage top passive talent.
  • Run a tight process: keep searches moving with urgency, clear communication, timely feedback, and a strong candidate experience from first touch through final decision.
  • Use data to drive recruiting strategy throughout the funnel: pass-through rates, time to fill, sourcing effectiveness, offer acceptance.
  • Use AI to increase recruiting leverage: apply AI across sourcing, research, outreach personalization, prep, funnel analysis, and closing.

About You

  • Full-cycle technical recruiting expert with 5+ years of experience closing technical roles for startups.
  • Hired across levels, from senior ICs through engineering managers and directors.
  • Closer: You know what it takes to close candidates when you’re not always the most obvious choice on paper.
  • Can sell company stage, mission, equity, scope, and pace against more established brands.
  • AI-pilled: You’re genuinely excited about how AI is changing recruiting and have already started putting it into practice.
  • High-velocity and detail-oriented: You move quickly, communicate clearly, and don’t let details drop.
  • Data-driven operator: You’re comfortable managing searches through metrics without losing the human side of recruiting.
