About the role
- Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles — from intake through offer acceptance — operating with speed and rigor at every stage
- Partner directly with hiring managers and senior leaders to define the talent profile, advise on market realities, and build a strategy for each search
- Proactively source and engage passive candidates through Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, talent mapping, referral networks, and creative direct outreach
- Design and facilitate structured interview processes that assess for both technical capability and performance potential — not just culture fit on paper
- Demonstrate a sharp, trained eye for what separates truly exceptional talent from candidates who simply interview well — evaluating trajectory, ownership mentality, the quality of their thinking, and the impact they've driven relative to their peers
- Build and maintain warm pipelines for recurring and critical roles so no search ever starts from zero
- Use recruiting data (pipeline health, funnel conversion, time-to-fill, source mix) to identify bottlenecks and continuously sharpen your process
- Challenge hiring criteria when job requirements are misaligned with the market — and back your recommendation with data
- Deliver a candidate experience that makes even declined candidates advocates for Giga
Requirements
- 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a high-growth, fast-paced, or agency environment
- Demonstrated track record of closing senior, niche, or highly competitive roles — not solely high-volume pipelines
- Experience partnering with and influencing VP-level and above stakeholders
- Expert-level sourcing skills — you build targeted candidate lists from scratch and write outreach that passive candidates actually respond to
- Strong talent assessment judgment — you can identify what makes someone genuinely exceptional: a pattern of outsized impact, intellectual curiosity, high ownership, and the ability to operate above their level; and you can distinguish that from candidates who are polished but plateau
- Proficiency with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, or equivalent) and LinkedIn Recruiter
- Ability to track, analyze, and present recruiting metrics to drive decisions and stakeholder alignment
Benefits
- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
- Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
- 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Unlimited PTO
- Parental leave
- Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
- Commuter benefits
- Monthly team onsites where all offices come in–person to collaborate
