Technical Recruiter

Technical Recruiter

Glean is looking for a strategic, thoughtful, and highly effective Technical Recruiter to help us build the teams that will shape the next era of enterprise AI. In this role, you will partner closely with engineering, product, infrastructure, machine learning, security, and other technical leaders to identify the talent and capabilities Glean needs to achieve its goals. You will be more than a process owner. You will serve as a talent advisor, market expert, and recruiting partner who can translate business priorities into clear hiring strategies, create conviction with candidates, and help hiring teams make consistently high-quality decisions. This is an opportunity to join a team that is actively reimagining how recruiting works. We expect our recruiters to use AI as a force multiplier, experiment with new approaches, turn successful practices into repeatable systems, and help make recruiting at Glean faster, more insightful, and more human.

You will:

• Partner with hiring managers and technical leaders to understand business goals, team structures, role requirements, and the capabilities needed for success.
• Develop and execute thoughtful recruiting strategies for high-impact technical searches across engineering, product, machine learning, infrastructure, security, data, technical program management, and related functions.
• Own the full recruiting lifecycle, from intake and market mapping through sourcing, assessment, closing, and onboarding handoff.
• Build strong pipelines of exceptional active and passive candidates through targeted research, proactive outreach, referrals, communities, events, and creative sourcing channels.
• Serve as a trusted advisor on talent markets, compensation expectations, competitive dynamics, candidate motivations, and the tradeoffs required to make a search successful.
• Partner with hiring teams to define clear candidate profiles, calibrate interview processes, improve signal quality, and maintain a high and consistent hiring bar.
• Create a candidate experience that is timely, transparent, inclusive, and compelling, from the first conversation through the final decision.
• Use recruiting data and market intelligence to identify risks, improve funnel health, guide prioritization, and communicate progress and recommendations to leaders.
• Maintain accurate recruiting systems and documentation so that our team can operate with strong visibility, consistency, and accountability.
• Use AI tools and automation thoughtfully to improve research, sourcing, candidate communication, workflow efficiency, and decision quality while preserving sound judgment and a human-centered experience.
• Contribute to recruiting programs, employer brand initiatives, talent communities, and operating mechanisms that strengthen Glean's reputation in the technical talent market.
• Share knowledge, mentor teammates, and help turn effective recruiting practices into scalable team standards.

About you:

• You have 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, ideally in a high-growth technology company or similarly complex environment.
• You have a track record of recruiting and closing exceptional technical talent across one or more areas such as software engineering, machine learning, infrastructure, security, data, product, or technical leadership.
• You are a strong recruiting partner who can earn trust with experienced hiring managers, ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions respectfully, and bring clarity to ambiguous searches.
• You are an effective sourcer and researcher who can build targeted talent maps, engage passive candidates, and develop creative approaches when traditional channels are not enough.
• You bring strong candidate judgment, critical thinking, analytical ability, and reasoned decision-making.
• You are highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities without losing momentum or quality.
• You use data to understand recruiting performance, identify patterns, and make better decisions.
• You are energized by change, ambiguity, and the opportunity to build. You take ownership, learn quickly, and follow through.
• You care deeply about candidate experience and believe that a thoughtful, inclusive process is essential to building great teams.
• You are curious about AI and motivated to incorporate it into your work. You do not need to be an AI recruiting expert, but you should be excited to experiment, learn, and help redefine what excellent recruiting looks like.
• You are a collaborative teammate who improves the systems, practices, and experience of the recruiting team around you.
