A data-oriented mindset-you track pipeline health, monitor key metrics, and use them to make better decisions and have better conversations
Familiarity with GTM or business recruiting (sales, marketing, customer success) as a complement to your core technical recruiting experience
Comfort with the operational side of hiring: drafting employment contracts, coordinating onboarding steps, and owning the candidate experience from first contact to first day
A continuous improvement instinct-you document what works, fix what doesn't, and bring ideas to the table for the broader team
Experience with or genuine interest in leveraging AI tools to work more efficiently: smarter sourcing, faster screening, better candidate communications
