• Proactively identify, engage, and build talent pipelines for high-priority GTM (Go-To-Market) and delivery roles with specialized skill sets.
• Source candidates using LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Upwork, Indeed, referrals, and alternative recruitment channels.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to calibrate profiles and align on requirements.
• Conduct recruiter screens to evaluate candidate experience, skills, and organizational fit.
• Maintain accurate hiring data and pipeline progress in the ATS (Greenhouse).
• Ensure a seamless, professional experience for candidates throughout the hiring process.

• 8+ years of professional recruiting experience, with significant experience recruiting for U.S.-based roles.

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of recruiting priorities with minimal supervision.
• U.S.-based and able to work effectively during U.S. business hours / overlapping U.S. time zones.

What We’re Looking For

• Comfortable taking on new profiles, quickly identifying candidate pools, and experimenting with creative sourcing channels.
• Persistent, organized, and skilled at managing multiple open roles and competing priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Detail‑oriented with strong follow‑through on candidate pipelines and hiring metrics.
