Qualifications

• 2+ years of sourcing or full-cycle recruiting experience, with a track record of filling technical/engineering roles.
• Demonstrated success sourcing passive candidates through advanced techniques (Boolean/X-ray, GitHub, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).
• Strong technical fluency — you can speak credibly to engineers and quickly learn new technical domains (bonus: familiarity with semiconductors, ASIC/SoC, design verification, or AI/ML).

• Partner with recruiters and hiring managers to deeply understand role requirements and translate them into precise candidate profiles and search strategies.
• Run compelling, personalized outreach that earns responses from passive senior talent and converts cold contacts into engaged candidates.
• Conduct initial outreach calls to assess interest, motivation, and high-level fit before handoff to recruiters.

• Build talent maps of target companies and competitors to inform proactive hiring strategy.
• Continuously experiment with new tools, channels, and messaging to improve response and conversion rates.
