What You’ll Do

We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to help scale our engineering organization at Horizon3.ai. This is a high-impact role where you’ll partner closely with hiring managers and leadership to attract, engage, and close top technical talent.

You’ll own full-cycle recruiting across key roles (Engineering, Product, and Design) with a strong focus on building high-quality, diverse pipelines in a competitive market. Your primary customers are our hiring managers, and your mission is to ensure we hire exceptional talent quickly and thoughtfully as we scale.

You’ll drive recruiting strategy end-to-end — from sourcing and outreach to process design, candidate experience, and closing. This includes developing creative strategies to identify and engage top cyber and non-cyber talent, as well as continuously evaluating and rebuilding recruiting processes that are no longer serving the business.

You’ll also help shape how we recruit as a company, bringing ideas, data, and creativity to improve our processes and outcomes.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment — a recruiter who is both strategic and hands‑on, excited to build from scratch, experiment, and play a key role in shaping the future of our team.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as a Technical Recruiter, ideally in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment.
• Strong negotiation skills with a track record of closing candidates in competitive markets.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence both candidates and hiring teams.
• High social aptitude and relationship-building ability — you know how to build trust quickly and maintain strong candidate pipelines.
• Solid technical acumen, with the ability to understand technical roles, assess candidate qualifications, and have credible conversations with engineers.
• Experience owning full-cycle recruiting, including sourcing, screening, coordinating, and closing candidates.
• Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and drive processes forward in an evolving environment.
• Data-driven mindset with a focus on improving recruiting processes, efficiency, and candidate experience.

Preferred

• Coursework or degree in business, human resources, psychology, information technology, or a related field.
• Previous experience in sales, research, operations, customer service, information technology, administration, or other relevant roles.

Travel Required

We are a fully remote company, and this job may require up to 5% of travel to be successful.
