What You'll Do

• Own a full portfolio of technical requisitions end-to-end – sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing – running your searches independently and hitting fill and time-to-fill targets across roles like Software Engineering, Data Science/ML, Analytics, and Product Management.
• Proactively source and map the talent market for hard-to-fill technical roles, building a qualified pipeline through active outreach to passive candidates rather than relying on inbound applicants.
• Partner with engineering and technical hiring managers as a credible advisor: run intakes, calibrate the bar, and push back with data when a search needs to reset or a profile needs to shift.
• Own offer strategy and close competitive candidates – anticipating counteroffers, surfacing hesitations early, and driving the close rather than handing it off at the finish line.
• Read your own funnel metrics to pinpoint where a search is leaking – sourcing, screening, or closing and adjust your strategy accordingly.
• Deliver a candidate experience that holds up under scrutiny: clear, honest, and responsive from first outreach through offer.

What You'll Need

• 1–2 years of full-cycle tech recruiting experience, ideally in a fast-paced in-house or agency environment filling engineering or technical roles.
• Working fluency in technical hiring – you can hold a credible conversation with an engineer or hiring manager about Software Engineering, Data Science/ML, Analytics, or Product Management roles and what "good" looks like for each.
• A track record of owning requisitions independently and closing candidates against competing offers.
• Real sourcing skill beyond the inbound applicant flow – you know how to find, engage, and move passive technical talent.
• Comfort operating from data: you use funnel metrics to prioritize your reqs, diagnose bottlenecks, and defend your search strategy to hiring managers.
• Sharp organization and judgment under competing demands, with the tact to keep hiring managers and candidates aligned when priorities compete.
