About the role
- Own full-cycle recruiting for Samsara’s R&D teams - predominantly product design - delivering outstanding execution across IC and leadership-level searches
- Work end-to-end as a strategic recruiter, including extensive research and market mapping to identify the best talent and programmatic engagement (tracking outreach, A/B testing, ongoing campaigns, out-of-the-box methods for reaching talent)
- Act as a strategic partner to senior stakeholders, gaining deep context on their goals and influencing outcomes through insight, calibration, and high-integrity decision-making
- Drive long-range talent strategy—including outbound programs, market mapping, and engagement—even when no active roles are open

Requirements
- 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including ownership of high-bar roles in the product design space (UX, Research)
- Demonstrated success running searches for senior stakeholders (Director level and above), with an emphasis on trust, rigor, and influence
- A “Talent Partner” mindset—you contribute insights, talent data, and structure that raise the bar beyond filling roles
- Proven ability to build effective outbound and passive talent strategies in constrained markets - especially where the "easy path" doesn’t work
- Strong track record of navigating complex hiring scenarios, including pushback, ambiguity, and process risk, while keeping a long-term focus on hiring quality
- Excellent communicator who aligns stakeholders, mitigates surprises, and delivers crisp execution
- Experience leveraging AI tools thoughtfully and intentionally to drive more thorough, effective, and efficient recruiting - without compromising candidate quality or experience.
Benefits
