About the role

Build the recruiting engine: You will build the system that enables Rainmaker to hire exceptional people consistently, from sourcing and structured interview loops to closing playbooks and the weekly operating review that keeps every search tied to company priorities. The goal is to make hiring fast, predictable, and disciplined as the company grows, so that quality is the reliable output of a system rather than the product of heroics.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience recruiting in a high-growth company with a track record of building exceptional recruiting operations including its process, systems and standards
  • Demonstrated ability to hire hard-to-find talent in competitive markets across multiple domains, including engineering and hardware, science and research, operations, and senior leadership
  • Deep fluency in structured, evidence-based hiring, including scorecards, signal-owned interview loops, and calibrated debriefs, with the conviction to hold the standard under pressure for speed or convenience
  • Strong sourcing and closing instincts, including proactive pipeline-building for roles where the best candidates are not actively looking, and a real feel for reading and managing offer risk
  • Exceptional communication, judgment, and follow-through, with the ability to operate from data and earn trust across technical, scientific, operational, and executive teams while building structure without unnecessary bureaucracy
