Generalist Recruiter

• 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience owning concurrent searches across technical and commercial functions
• Hands-on fluency with Ashby or comparable ATS — pipeline configuration, reporting, and workflow automation, not data entry
• Recruiting experience across Engineering, Ops, Growth, Mission Success, and Sales — vocabulary and evaluation criteria shift with the role
• Closer's instinct — reads candidate motivation, negotiates offers confidently, identifies late-stage drop-off risk
• Metrics-driven approach — tracks time-to-fill, source yield, offer-acceptance rate and adjusts search strategy in real time, not post-mortem
• Extend and negotiate offers, partnering with compensation/HR as needed to close candidates
• Startup or high-growth company experience — comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and building as you go rather than following an established playbook
• Familiarity with niche or cleared talent pools (e.g., security clearance requirements, specialized technical skill sets)

The base salary for this position will fall between $100,000 and $115,000.

Your ultimate compensation will be determined by professional background, technical proficiency, seniority, and regional cost factors.

Furthermore, this opportunity includes potential eligibility for equity awards and discretionary bonuses, rounding out a comprehensive total rewards offering.

• A proactive and solutions oriented mindset
• Viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth
• Having a bias toward action and tangible, measurable results
• Being team-oriented with a focus on personal responsibility and autonomy
