You'll partner directly with leadership to hire the people who build the product, manage our customers and drive our brand presence across target <markets.You>'ll own searches end to end — sourcing, screening, process design to closing. There is no separate sourcing team to hand work to, and no coordinator to schedule for you. In exchange, you get real ownership: you decide how a search runs, you talk to hiring managers directly, and you see the impact of your decisions within weeks rather than quarters.If you want to be the recruiter who runs hiring rather than the one who administers someone else's process, this is the job.What you'll do:Own full-cycle hiring mainly focusing on engineering, product, design, and CS rolesBuild and run outbound sourcing yourself. Most of our best hires are people who weren't lookingPartner with hiring managers on target profiles, search criteria, scorecards, interview design and calibration — and push back when a bar is unclear or a process could be improvedKeep candidates genuinely informed. Aim to provide an excellent candidate experience.
