Lead Technical Recruiter

Responsibilities

• Own complex technical and product searches from intake through close, including niche, emerging and confidential roles, partnering with recruiting leadership on executive searches
• Build sourcing strategies from scratch through market mapping, competitive research and targeted outbound campaigns, while managing multiple high complexity searches without sacrificing pipeline momentum or candidate experience
• Advise on compensation and offer strategy and close candidates in competitive markets
• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior engineering, data and product leaders, shaping role scope, leveling, interview design and hiring strategy rather than executing against a predefined spec
• Lead intake and calibration to establish the hiring bar, use market evidence to reset expectations when searches stall and provide leaders with clear insight into hiring health
• Influence headcount planning and role scoping by bringing market, compensation and organizational context to decisions
• Use funnel, pipeline and time to fill data to diagnose search challenges and adjust strategy in real time
• Bring root cause analysis and recommendations, not just flags, and independently make decisions on search strategy, process and stakeholder approach while escalating broader resourcing and headcount decisions
• Test and adopt AI across sourcing, screening, outreach and scheduling, scale what works and retire what doesn’t
• Help define where AI can improve hiring quality and speed while keeping human judgment where it matters, using automation to reduce administrative work and give recruiters more time with candidates and hiring managers
