## About the role

Own full-cycle recruiting across technical and non-technical roles: Sourcing, coordinating, and closing. Own the candidate experience end-to-end: Every touchpoint, every piece of feedback, every offer call; we want every person who goes through our process to walk away excited about what we're building, whether or not they join

## What they're looking for

- 5–7 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, technical recruiting background is a strong plus, as is at least one stint at a startup
- Comfortable with modern recruiting tools (ATS platforms like Ashby, sourcing tools, LinkedIn Recruiter)
- Builds relationships quickly across all levels (candidates, hiring managers, founders) and adjusts communication style accordingly
- Creative sourcer who finds candidates others overlook, and tenacious enough to follow through
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail, can run multiple open roles across different functions simultaneously without things falling through the cracks
- Clear, direct communicator in writing and in conversation- equally comfortable selling a candidate on the role and pushing back on a hiring manager
