• Build and maintain talent communities and networks to support ongoing and future hiring needs.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, leading intake discussions to align on hiring needs, candidate profiles, interview expectations, and timelines.
• Provide data-driven recommendations on market conditions, talent availability, and candidate attraction strategies to support informed hiring decisions.
• Drive accountability around interview scheduling, feedback, and decision-making to improve hiring efficiency and reduce time-to-fill.
• Help hiring managers define what success looks like for each role and constructively challenge assumptions when appropriate.
• Ensure compliance with established recruiting processes, approval workflows, and documentation standards.
• Maintain accurate candidate records and recruitment activity within company systems and applicant tracking tools.
• Monitor recruitment metrics and provide updates to leadership, highlighting pipeline status, process performance, and hiring outcomes.
• Continuously evaluate and improve recruiting processes to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and candidate experience.
• Assist with HR-related projects and initiatives during periods of lower recruiting volume, contributing to broader talent and employee programs.
• Support general HR and talent acquisition efforts as needed, demonstrating flexibility and a customer service mindset.

Essential Skills

• Minimum of 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience managing end-to-end hiring for professional-level positions, including Sales, Engineering, Product Management, and Management roles.
• Proven experience sourcing candidates across multiple geographic markets, with the ability to recruit beyond local talent pools.
• Strong sourcing and networking skills, with demonstrated success engaging both active and passive candidates.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively interact with candidates, hiring managers, and leadership.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple requisitions simultaneously.
