ABOUT THE TEAM

The People Recruiting team is responsible for attracting and hiring the talent that builds Anduril's People infrastructure. We recruit across the full spectrum of People, including People Operations, Talent Acquisition, People Business Partners, People Programs, and Total Rewards. As Anduril scales, these functions grow in complexity and criticality, and the quality of the people we bring in directly shapes how the company supports its workforce.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA, Seattle, WA, Boston, MA or Washington, DC office. In this role, you will own full-cycle recruiting across People Operations, Total Rewards People Programs, People Business Partners, and People Data, while providing flex support to the Recruiting for Recruiting (R4R) team as needed. You will build deep partnerships with your hiring managers, becoming a trusted extension of their teams, while developing real relationships with candidates throughout the process. This will require the versatility to context-switch across searches that demand very different domain fluency, candidate pools, and assessment approaches. In a given week you might be sourcing a People Business Partner, screening a People Programs Manager, and closing a Senior Compensation Analyst. You will need to learn each sub-function well enough to credibly evaluate candidates and advise hiring managers on talent strategy, market dynamics, and role design. If you are someone who thrives on variety, closes with precision, and earns trust from both hiring managers and candidates through the quality of your work, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own end-to-end recruiting across People Operations, People Programs, People Business Partners, and People Data, with flex capacity into R4R during peak hiring periods
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies tailored to each sub-function, recognizing that a people business partner pipeline looks very different from a compensation analyst pipeline or a people programs pipeline
• Conduct screens that assess functional depth and organizational fit, with an evaluation approach tailored to each search
• Manage the interview process from intake through close: calibrate with hiring managers, prepare interview panels, facilitate debriefs, and drive offers to signature

Strategic Partnership

• Partner with People leaders to understand current and upcoming hiring needs, team composition, and the specific profiles that will succeed in each sub-function
• Advise hiring managers on market conditions, compensation benchmarks, and candidate availability across People disciplines
• Provide transparent pipeline updates and market intelligence, especially when conditions require recalibrating timelines or expectations
• Influence role design and leveling by bringing external market perspective to internal conversations about scope and requirements

Process and Craft

• Own the candidate
