Senior Recruiter

About the role:

A seasoned Senior Recruiter responsible for independently running end‑to‑end hiring for all business‑critical roles across Sales & Marketing, Finance, Product and other functions. This is a pure individual‑contributor role that partners closely with leaders to translate business priorities into precise hiring strategies with disciplined execution. The role demands strong judgment, crisp articulation, and high autonomy—owning talent mapping, proactive sourcing, executive‑level candidate engagement, and closure of complex searches. Success is defined by predictable delivery of high‑quality talent and sustained credibility with senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and deliver end‑to‑end searches for senior and specialist roles across Sales, Product, Engineering, Enterprise Applications, Marketing, and Corporate functions.
• Partner directly with leaders to clarify business priorities, define the hiring thesis, and align on bar‑raising selection standards.
• Lead talent mapping and market intelligence (competitor benchmarking, org charts, succession pipelines) to anticipate and fill future needs.
• Drive proactive sourcing and passive‑talent engagement using advanced techniques (research‑driven headhunting, Boolean/X‑ray, platforms like LinkedIn, GitHub/Stack Overflow) with high‑touch outreach.
• Run structured, high‑rigor assessment processes—panel design, scorecards, executive debriefs, and evidence‑based decisioning.
• Orchestrate candidate experience at executive level—expectation‑setting, offer strategy, close plans, and smooth onboarding handoffs.
• Track and report predictability metrics (throughput, conversion, time‑in‑stage, quality at hire) and use insights to improve funnel health.
• Maintain confidentiality and uphold ethical standards in all executive‑level interactions.

Required Qualifications:

• Seasoned recruiter with 6+ years of experience owning end-to-end hiring across diverse functions — GTM, Corporate Functions, and early-talent/internship pipelines for both United States & India with a strong track record in product‑led companies.
• Demonstrated strength in IC ownership of executive‑facing searches (from market mapping through close).
• Mastery of research‑driven sourcing, passive‑talent engagement, and crafting compelling narratives for senior candidates.
• Excellent judgment, communication, and influence skills; able to frame trade‑offs and drive aligned decisions with leaders.
• Proven ability to run high‑discipline processes across multiple concurrent, business‑critical searches.
• Engineering degree preferred.

What Success Looks Like

• Consistent, on‑time closures of complex leadership and specialist searches.
• High stakeholder trust and repeat engagement from senior leaders.
• A robust bench/pipeline for priority roles built ahead of demand.
• Clear, data‑backed hiring recommendations that raise the leadership bar.

Preferred Experience

• Executive Search or leadership hiring experience.
• Exposure to Product, Engineering, Cloud, AI/ML, or Enterprise SaaS hiring.
