Job description

About the role

As our Senior Recruiter, you will be the face of Taktile for our future team members. Your primary responsibilities will include sourcing, recruiting, and managing the candidate journey to ensure we attract and hire exceptional talent. As a key driver of our growth, your work will directly influence the success and scalability of our operations.

This role is perfect for someone eager to play a central role in shaping Taktile's organization. We are looking for a skilled recruiter who knows how to identify and attract top talent and who thrives in the fast-moving, competitive landscape of AI.

This role is based in our New York HQ. We believe great recruiting is highly collaborative and relationship-driven, so we work together in person at least three days per week.

What You\'ll Do

• Own the full recruiting cycle for a portfolio of GTM roles, from role scoping with hiring managers through offer close, moving fast without sacrificing quality or candidate experience.

• Build and execute sourcing strategies tailored to each role, using LinkedIn Recruiter, AI-assisted tools, and creative outreach to reach both active and passive candidates.

• Act as a strategic partner to hiring managers, not just an executor. That means shaping job requirements, challenging assumptions, and keeping searches on track when priorities shift.

• Deliver a standout candidate experience at every touchpoint: clear communication, timely feedback, and a process that reflects Taktile\'s values even when we\'re moving quickly.

• Leverage data to drive decisions. Track pipeline health, identify drop-off points, and share regular hiring funnel updates that lead to action, not just reporting.

• Act as a strong partner and domain expert to the organization. Collaborate closely with leaders to comprehend their hiring needs and develop recruiting strategies to meet headcount targets. This person will be a senior partner to our leaders and shape our overall talent strategy.

• Contribute to how we hire, not just who we hire. Help refine our assessment frameworks, improve structured interview practices, and bring new ideas for how Taktile stays competitive in a tight talent market.

• Support employer branding and talent marketing through events, content, and community presence, making Taktile a name candidates recognize and want to join.

• Collaborate with People Ops to ensure smooth handoffs post-offer, including onboarding coordination, relocations, and visa support where needed.

Required Experience

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in proactive sourcing and talent acquisition, preferably in high-growth startups or dynamic environments.

• Deep experience hiring across GTM functions- including Account Executives, BDRs, Solutions Engineers, Forward Deployed Engineers, & Marketing. You know how to read a strong GTM candidate and how to sell a compelling opportunity to them.

• Experience partnering with leaders throughout the recruiting process, acting as a strong hiring partner and trusted advisor.

• Actively using AI tools in your recruiting workflow- whether for sourcing, outreach personalization, candidate research, or pipeline management. You stay current with the evolving recruiter tech stack and bring a point of view on how AI can make hiring smarter and faster.

• Skilled in using LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS tools, and Google Suite to streamline the recruitment process for both active and passive candidates.

• Proficient in sourcing talent across a range of seniority levels, from entry-level graduates to senior professionals.

• Expertise in conducting behavioral and competency-based interviews with a strong ability to effectively evaluate candidates’ skills, cultural fit, and potential.

• Experience managing both high-volume hiring and specialized searches for niche roles.

• Familiarity with tracking and analyzing recruitment metrics (e.g., time-to-hire, quality of hire, and source effectiveness) and using data to refine strategies and improve processes.

Ideal, But Not Required

• Experience in B2B SaaS recruitment.

• Familiarity with Ashby

Our Offer

• Make a meaningful impact by shaping a fast-growing company and creating new opportunities.

• We offer a competitive salary for this role along with an equity component as part of the total compensation package. The final compensation, including salary and equity, will be determined based on factors such as experience, qualifications, and market conditions.

• Market-led and competitive benefits package including access to a self-development budget for conferences, books, or classes.

• Join us onsite in our inspiring office spaces in Berlin, NYC, or London.

• Experience a truly flat hierarchy, interacting directly with founding team members and voicing your ideas.

• Learn from experienced mentors, including the founders of Looker, GitHub, Mulesoft, Datadog, and UiPath.

• Join us at an early but pivotal growth stage where you can take ownership to help us achieve the right business outcomes.

Our Stance

• We\'re eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We\'re looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it.

• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism, and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions and celebrate love in its many forms. We won\'t inquire about how you identify, or if you\'ve experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
