Responsibilities:
This role transitions our recruitment function from a reactive model to a proactive, sourcing-led engine that drives high-density talent acquisition for our engineering, product, and architecture teams. You will solve the challenge of technical talent scarcity by moving beyond application reviews to actively hunting passive engineers and unblocking complex hiring hurdles through real-time market insights. Success is defined by the ability to act as a high-energy technical advisor to Engineering leadership-leveraging tech-stack fluency and market intelligence to influence hiring decisions and deliver top-tier talent in an onsite, fast-paced environment.
What Success Looks Like (Objectives)
* Map competitor talent pools and identify key technical hubs to build a sustainable pipeline of high-potential candidates for critical engineering, cloud architecture, and cybersecurity functions.
* Conduct initial technical deep-dive screens to evaluate candidate alignment with specific tech stacks (e.g., Java, AWS, Microservices) and engineering methodologies before submission to hiring leads.
* Meet or exceed a delivery target of 16 technical hires per quarter across varying levels of seniority while maintaining a "Time in Process" of 30 days or less.
* Drive 20% of total hires through outbound sourcing of passive technical candidates to find niche talent.
* Deliver high-quality shortlists with a 2:1 submission-to-interview ratio through rigorous technical assessment and alignment with specific engineering requirements.
* Utilize AI-sourcing tools and technical market data to identify aging requisitions early and lead recalibration sessions with Engineering leaders to adjust requirements or sourcing strategies.
Qualifications:
Core Skills and Competencies (What you'll bring)
