Job Description

This role focuses on high-volume talent sourcing and recruiting across a variety of job families in a fast-paced, data-driven environment. You will concentrate on the top of the recruiting funnel by identifying, engaging, and qualifying passive and active candidates, particularly for niche and hard-to-fill roles. The position supports an experimental project designed to create an agile recruiting workforce that can quickly respond to changing hiring demands across technical and non-technical functions.

Responsibilities

• Recruit, source, and engage candidates for a wide range of roles, including non-technical, hardware, data engineering, software development engineering, and other job families as needed.
• Focus on top-of-funnel activities, including identifying and reaching out to passive candidates and building strong talent pipelines for niche and hard-to-fill positions.
• Conduct candidate outreach through multiple channels to generate interest and maintain a steady flow of qualified candidates.
• Perform phone screens to assess candidate qualifications, experience, and fit for open roles, and document outcomes clearly and accurately.
• Coordinate and set up assessments and business phone screens with hiring teams and stakeholders.
• Prepare candidates for interviews by providing clear expectations, process overviews, and guidance on next steps.
• Use an applicant tracking system (ATS) and Excel to track candidates, maintain accurate records, and manage recruiting workflows.
• Produce regular reports and metrics related to candidate pipeline, outreach, and progress toward weekly and monthly targets.
• Collaborate closely with recruiting peers, including corporate and technical recruiters, to align on priorities, share insights, and ensure a consistent candidate experience.
• Interact with recruiting management and hiring stakeholders in supported teams to understand hiring needs and adjust sourcing strategies accordingly.
• Conduct interviews, check references, extend offers, and support orientation and onboarding activities when needed.
• Perform exit interviews and process changes in employee status as required.
• Contribute to the planning and accomplishment of recruiting goals by applying sound judgment, creativity, and best practices.
• Lead and direct aspects of the recruiting process or the work of others when appropriate, leveraging experience to support the broader recruiting team.
• Meet or exceed weekly and monthly performance metrics and productivity targets in a fast-paced environment.
• Participate in recruiter ramp and onboarding training and apply learnings quickly to become fully productive.

Essential Skills

• 3–5 years of experience as a recruiter or talent acquisition professional, preferably in a related field or industry.
• Bachelor’s degree (BA).
• Proven experience in passive candidate recruiting, including proactively sourcing and engaging candidates rather than relying solely on inbound applications.
• Demonstrated success filling niche and hard-to-fill roles in competitive talent markets.
• Experience with high-volume recruiting and the ability to deliver a large number of qualified candidates within tight timeframes.
• Hands-on experience with applicant tracking systems (ATS) for managing candidates and requisitions.
• Proficiency with Excel for tracking data, reporting, and analyzing recruiting metrics.
• Strong communication skills, including clear, professional verbal and written communication with candidates and internal stakeholders.
• Ability to pivot quickly, adapt to changing priorities, and support different job families as business needs evolve.
• Experience with full cycle recruiting and technical sourcing.
• Familiarity with a variety of recruiting concepts, practices, and procedures, and the ability to apply sound judgment to accomplish goals.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience recruiting within a technology company or Fortune 500 environment.
• Experience in either corporate or agency recruiting; agency recruiting experience is highly valued.
• Experience sourcing for corporate and technical roles, including engineering and other specialized positions.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, data-oriented, goal-driven culture with weekly and monthly performance targets.
• Comfort working on an experimental or pilot recruiting project and contributing to process improvements.
• Experience reporting on recruiting metrics and using data to inform decisions and optimize sourcing strategies.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with peers, managers, and recruiting leadership across different teams.
• Former experience recruiting for similar large-scale or high-growth organizations is a plus.
