Job description

Who you are

• You've recruited at scale across technical disciplines — software engineering, infrastructure, product, data, or research roles. You understand the nuances between technical specialties and can speak credibly to them
• You've navigated nuanced leveling conversations, complex compensation structures, and competing offers from the best companies in the world — and you've won. You're equally comfortable running a high-volume req load and going deep on a single critical hire
• Now, bring that expertise to Salesforce, your pipeline and your craft will directly shape the teams building the most impactful products in the world
• 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with demonstrated success managing both high-volume pipelines and complex, specialized searches
• Deep experience at a top-tier tech company — where the talent bar is exceptionally high and the competition is fierce
• Proven ability to recruit across a range of technical roles and disciplines
• Strong fluency in technical concepts — enough to hold credible conversations with candidates and hiring managers about the work they'll be doing
• Track record of building proactive talent pipelines in highly competitive, hard-to-fill talent pools, alongside experience efficiently running high req-volume
• Experience navigating complex compensation conversations, including base, equity (RSU), sign-on, and competing offer dynamics
• Consultative, data-informed approach to recruiting — you bring market data, competitive intelligence, and candidate insights to every hiring manager interaction
• Strong communicator and relationship builder who earns trust quickly with both candidates and senior technical leaders
• Experience recruiting for emerging or specialized technical domains (e.g., AI/ML, infrastructure, security)
• Familiarity with technical academic pipelines and graduate recruiting from top universities
• Background working within large, matrixed organizations where recruiting requires influencing without authority

What the job involves

• Salesforce is building the AI-powered future of enterprise software — and we need a world-class recruiter to help us win the most competitive talent market in the industry
• This is a strategic seat at the table for a recruiter who has spent their career deeply embedded in technical recruiting, with the range to run both high-volume pipelines and complex, high-touch searches for hard-to-fill roles, at a company where the bar for talent is set at the top of the market for the next generation of innovators and builders
• Own full-cycle recruiting across a mix of high-volume and specialized technical roles across Salesforce's engineering, product, and technology organizations
• Partner deeply with senior engineering and technical leaders to shape hiring strategy, define ideal candidate profiles, and influence how we compete for elite technical talent
• Build and maintain high-quality talent pipelines — proactively mapping the market and engaging passive talent before requisitions open, while efficiently managing volume across multiple open roles
• Lead complex offer negotiations, including sign-on and equity exception packages, with a clear understanding of competitive compensation benchmarks across top tech companies
• Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers — pushing back, advising on tradeoffs, and bringing market intelligence that sharpens decision-making
• Collaborate with sourcing partners, recruiting coordinators, and peer advisors to run an efficient, high-touch candidate experience at scale
• Contribute to team-level recruiting strategy, pipeline health reviews, and competitive talent intelligence initiatives

Benefits

• Medical Care
