About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead targeted sourcing for senior-to-executive technical roles (Engineering — ML/AI, Data, Fullstack, Frontend and Product) with a strong focus on Bay Area candidates.
Use LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, technical communities, referral programs, and your own network to identify and engage passive candidates - the majority of our roles are filled with sourced candidates as opposed to inbound applications from posted positions.
Craft compelling job descriptions and determine realistic compensation bands based on market insights.
Develop targeted market maps and competitive talent insights to advise hiring managers on realistic availability, compensation trends, and hiring timelines.
Own initial video screens to assess technical skills and effectively evaluate candidates against role must-haves.
Maintain a high level of communication and support to candidates throughout the interview process.
Flag concerns early to avoid late-stage surprises and coach interviewers and hiring managers on structured interview best practices.
Build trusted partnerships with engineering leaders, hiring managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to influence hiring strategies and drive equitable, bias-mitigated decisions.
Navigate executive-level search with discretion — manage candidate confidentiality, calibrate compensation at Director/VP/C-suite levels, and advise on market dynamics.
Present offers, close candidates and discuss compensation and benefits.
Manage a smooth handoff to our HR and Onboarding team.
Continuously improve recruiting workflows, structured interviewing practices, and candidate experience in partnership with the People team.
