Job summary

Amperesand is seeking an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter / Sourcer to build a world-class team at a pivotal growth stage. You’ll lead searches from mapping and sourcing to engagement, assessment, and closing, with autonomy and close collaboration with leadership.

You’ll own full-cycle recruiting for engineering and highly specialized roles, crafting targeted sourcing strategies and driving momentum across multiple searches in a fast-moving hardware/energy environment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of recruiting for technical talent, ideally within hardware, deep tech, energy, semiconductors, robotics, or another highly technical environment.
• Demonstrated ability to source and close difficult-to-find candidates rather than relying on inbound pipelines.
• Strong full-cycle recruiting skills and the ability to independently manage searches from kickoff through close.
• Excellent communication and executive presence; you can build credibility with senior candidates, engineers, hiring managers, and executives.
• High level of ownership; you identify what needs to happen and move it forward.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for technical and other critical roles across the company, with an emphasis on engineering and highly specialized talent.
• Build targeted sourcing strategies for difficult-to-fill roles rather than relying primarily on inbound applicants.
• Proactively identify and engage exceptional passive candidates through LinkedIn, referrals, networks, events, research, and creative sourcing channels.
• Develop a strong understanding of our technology, organization, and talent needs so you can credibly represent the company in the market.
• Partner directly with hiring managers and senior leaders to define profiles, calibrate searches, assess talent and keep hiring processes moving.
• Conduct thoughtful candidate screens and develop an informed point of view on candidate quality and fit.
• Manage multiple searches simultaneously while maintaining urgency, organization, and a high bar for candidate experience.
• Drive candidates through the process from first outreach through offer and close.
• Use recruiting data and market feedback to identify challenges, adjust search strategies and advise hiring managers.
• Maintain accurate, disciplined pipeline management and recruiting data in our ATS.
• Help improve recruiting processes, tools, and practices as we continue to scale.
