Senior Technical Recruiter

Your Responsibilities

Full-Cycle Recruiting & Ownership

• Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles, from intake through offer, ensuring a consistent and high-quality candidate experience at every stage

• Manage offer strategy and negotiation in partnership with hiring managers and leadership, keeping compensation and equity consistent with internal bands

• Track time-in-stage across your pipelines and proactively unblock stalled candidates rather than waiting for a hiring manager to flag it

Hiring Manager Partnership & Process Design

• Partner directly with hiring managers to define role requirements, calibrate the interview process, and align on what a strong hire actually looks like for each position

• Build and refine scorecards, structured interview kits, and screening criteria specific to each function you own

• Coach and calibrate interviewers on assessment standards, turning subjective impressions into structured, defensible hiring decisions

Pipeline & Sourcing

• Build and manage a healthy, prioritized pipeline across inbound and outbound channels, balancing sourcing effort against proven high-yield channels

• Run proactive outbound sourcing for specialist or hard-to-fill roles instead of relying on inbound alone

• Manage relationships with external agencies and vendors where used, including scoping engagements and monitoring fee exposure

Data & Process

• Maintain accurate, up-to-date candidate and requisition data in Ashby, supporting reliable reporting on pipeline health, conversion rates, and time-to-hire

• Flag process gaps or bottlenecks early, and contribute directly to the tools and playbooks the Talent function is still building out

Qualifications

Education and Experience

• 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally spanning both technical and non-technical hiring

• Experience recruiting in a startup or fast-growth environment, comfortable owning a high volume of live reqs with limited support

Additional Skills / Nice to Have

• Experience recruiting for robotics, hardware, or deep-tech companies

• Experience recruiting across multiple geographies, particularly EU and US

• Experience building recruiting processes from scratch rather than only operating within an existing one
