## Job Description
## What You'll Do
- Own full-cycle recruiting for software engineering roles end-to-end, from intake to offer, along with occasional non-engineering business hires.
- Build the recruiting foundation: select and implement an ATS, establish sourcing strategies, define workflows, and set the baseline for how we hire.
- Develop and track core recruiting metrics: time to fill, pipeline conversion, source quality, offer acceptance rate, and more.
- Cultivate a strong engineering network, attend meetups, engage in developer communities, and build genuine relationships in NYC's engineering scene and beyond to stay ahead of passive talent.
- Source proactively and creatively, **LinkedIn Recruiter**, **GitHub**, referrals, events, and outreach, to build deep pipelines for competitive engineering roles.
- Leverage **AI tools** and automation to accelerate sourcing, outreach, and pipeline management - from AI-assisted candidate research and personalized outreach sequences to automating repetitive recruiting workflows.
- Partner with hiring managers to write clear job descriptions, define scorecards, and calibrate on what "great" looks like for each role.
- Deliver a candidate experience that reflects GovDash's culture and values at every touchpoint.
- Maintain clean, accurate pipeline data so leadership always has visibility into hiring health.

## What We're Looking For
- 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time spent closing software engineering roles in a competitive market.
- An existing engineering network and genuine comfort running in technical circles, you know how engineers think, where they gather, and how to earn their interest.
- Demonstrated experience sourcing passive engineering candidates creatively, beyond just **LinkedIn**.
- Experience with recruiting infrastructure: **ATS** selection, pipeline stages, intake processes, and hiring metrics.
- Comfortable operating without a playbook and excited to write one.
- Curiosity about and working knowledge of **AI-powered recruiting tools** - you don’t wait to be told to try something new, you’re already experimenting.
- Strong communicator who builds trust quickly with both candidates and hiring managers.
- Highly organized, data-informed, and proactive about flagging risks and gaps in the pipeline.
- Based in **New York City**, able to work in-person 4 days per week at our Union Square office.

- Familiarity sourcing engineers with **TypeScript** / **Node.js** / **React** backgrounds.
- Exposure to technical domains like **AI** or **SaaS**.
- Hands-on experience using **AI tools** to automate or enhance recruiting workflows, whether that’s sourcing, outreach personalization, scheduling, or pipeline reporting.
