About the Role

Manage and close senior candidates through compensation discussions, competing offers and other complex situations.
Use recruiting data and market feedback to identify pipeline problems and continuously improve search strategy and conversion.

Good understanding of software engineering disciplines and the ability to evaluate technical profiles beyond company, title and keywords.
Strong sourcing capability across LinkedIn and other relevant platforms, communities and networks.
Ability to advise hiring managers using evidence from the talent market rather than simply executing requests.
Strong candidate management, negotiation and closing skills.
High ownership, judgement and execution speed.

Experience hiring internationally across multiple technical talent markets.
Experience recruiting for an early-stage AI or technology company.
