About Pendo Pendo is on a mission to elevate the world's experience with software. We help product teams deliver software that users love, and we're growing fast to meet the demands of that mission. Our recruiting team plays a central role in that growth, finding and bringing in the people who make Pendo, Pendo. Team description We're the Revenue & Marketing Recruiting team, a collaborative, globally distributed team covering the US, EMEA, and APAC. We own the full GTM talent pipeline: BDRs, sellers, revenue operations, marketing, and everything in between. We're builders at heart. We don't wait for the perfect process; we create it, iterate on it, and make it better as we go. We move fast, hold each other up, and genuinely enjoy the hunt for that purple squirrel. If you love the challenge of complex, high-stakes searches across diverse markets and want to do it alongside a team that's as invested in your success, we are your team. The role As a recruiter at Pendo, you will own full-cycle recruiting across a defined set of roles and teams. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and business leaders to source, assess, and close top talent, operating with a high degree of autonomy and shaping how we hire at scale. You are a leading performer who manages independently, anticipates roadblocks, and drives quality hiring outcomes across complex, multi-stakeholder searches. Like every role at Pendo right now, this one calls for a builder mindset; someone who acts with urgency, takes ownership without being asked, and lifts the people around them. You will also have a working comfort with AI: not expertise, but genuine curiosity and active experimentation with tools that make you faster and sharper.

These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work. You're a builder, not a maintainer. You’re most energized when there isn’t a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don’t wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great recruiters don’t just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing hiring decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we attract talent. You're AI-curious - genuinely. You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything; how you source, how you prep for intakes, how you draft outreach, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
