Senior Technical Recruiter (FTC 6 Months)

What the role will look like

What We Look For

• A CS degree, Information Systems, or comparable technical educational background are table stakes. We don't need the credential for its own sake — we need the fluency. What you've done with that foundation (translate it into smarter sourcing, sharper technical screens, more credible candidate conversations) is what we're hiring for.
• 3-5 years of in-house technical recruiting at a startup or scale-up — primarily as a solo recruiter or as part of a small team building out a scaling org. Agency recruiting earlier in your career is welcome as a foundation, but your most recent and most meaningful work should be in-house at a high-velocity company.
• Demonstrated partnership with hiring managers: examples of how you've shaped a role definition, built or evolved an interview loop, or pushed back on a search that wasn't going to work.
• Track record of process improvement — interview rubric overhauls, ATS workflow redesign, sourcing methodology shifts, candidate experience upgrades. Tell us about a system you made better, not just a req you closed.
• Native fluency with AI in your daily workflow. We're not looking for "I've tried ChatGPT" — we want someone who already uses Claude or equivalent to draft outreach, synthesize candidate signals, run boolean strategy, and accelerate screening. AI curiosity is a baseline; AI workflow integration is the bar.
• Comfort hitting and reporting on KPIs (pipeline velocity, offer acceptance, time-to-hire) without losing sight of quality. Numbers without judgment is a trap; judgment without numbers is a guess.
• Skill in identifying niche technical talent across software, hardware, and satellite communications domains. You don't need a satellite background — you need to be willing to learn the vocabulary fast and source with precision in uncharted territory.
• Experience closing complex offers by communicating mission, scope, and equity value — especially with passive candidates who weren't actively looking.
• Bias toward proactive improvement: when you see a broken step in the funnel, you fix it instead of working around it.
• Familiarity with Ashby and Metaview is a plus; experience with comparable modern ATS/interview-intelligence tools is fine — we care more about the instinct to use the tools well than the specific logos on your resume.
