Descrizione del lavoro

• Sonar is looking for a Senior Recruiter based in San Mateo to lead full-cycle recruitment across both technical, GTM and G&A roles. This role will help integrate and scale the Gitar team following our acquisition, and will be our first recruiter in our Bay Area office You’ll partner closely with hiring managers and senior stakeholders across the globe (including our CRO based in London; CEO & Founder of Gitar in San Mateo, CEO and CHRO in ATX) to identify, attract, and close exceptional talent spanning all our divisions across tech and non-tech
• We’re in high-growth mode, and the roles you recruit for today may not be the roles you’re recruiting for six months from now. As our go-to recruiter for the West Coast, we need someone with the range and experience to flex with the business—stepping into whatever hiring priorities emerge, whether that’s engineering, GTM, or something in between. We’d love someone with true generalist depth across technical and non-technical roles, but what matters most is recruiting excellence: we’re looking for a strong talent partner, not an administrator. You should be someone hiring managers and executives trust to shape hiring strategy, not just execute against a job spec. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to be deep in the weeds—sourcing, pitching, and closing—while also thinking like an owner about how the function should scale
• Own full-cycle recruitment, from intake to close, for technical roles supporting the integration of the recently acquire company Gitar
• Partner directly with engineering leaders to build hiring strategies aligned to business priorities
• Lead technical hiring for the newly acquired Gitar team, working closely with engineering managers to define role scope, calibrate technical bars, and integrate new hires smoothly
• Act as a hands-on hunter: proactively source and build robust talent pipelines across technical functions, rather than relying solely on inbound applications
• Sell Sonar’s mission and opportunity to passive candidates, acting as a trusted advisor and closer throughout the hiring process
• Manage a high volume of concurrent searches across multiple functions and levels while maintaining a high bar for candidate experience and quality of hire
• Identify opportunities to improve or automate recruiting workflows, from sourcing outreach to interview scheduling, so the function scales efficiently as hiring volume grows
