Technical Recruiter

Own searches from start to finish. Source, screen, coordinate interviews, manage candidates, run offers, and close.

Build engineering pipelines from scratch. You should be comfortable going outbound, finding hard-to-reach candidates, writing strong outreach, and creating momentum where there is no existing pipeline.

Become a real partner to hiring managers. Push for clarity on what great looks like, calibrate quickly, surface tradeoffs, and keep searches moving.

Close great candidates. Understand what motivates someone, build conviction throughout the process, navigate competing offers, and help us land people we are excited about.

Make the candidate experience excellent. Candidates should leave every interaction with a clear sense of who we are, what we are building, and why the opportunity is worth considering.

Help build the recruiting function. Improve our processes, tooling, interview practices, scorecards, and operating rhythms as the company grows.

Know your pipeline. Track where searches stand, identify problems early, and communicate clearly about progress, risks, and what needs to change.

Tell the Additive story well. We are a small, ambitious team building inside Thomson Reuters, and you should be able to explain why that combination is unusual and compelling.

2 to 4+ years of recruiting experience, either in-house or agency, with experience independently owning searches from sourcing through close.

Experience recruiting technical talent, particularly software engineers.

Strong sourcing instincts. You do not rely on inbound applicants to fill roles.

Excellent judgment and communication with both candidates and hiring managers.

Comfortable working with incomplete information, changing priorities, and processes that are still being built.

High ownership. If a search is not working, you dig in, figure out why, and change the approach.

We work fully in person, five days per week, in downtown San Francisco. Additive can cover relocation costs for candidates moving to the San Francisco area.

Experience recruiting for an early-stage or high-growth startup.

Experience closing highly sought-after engineering candidates in competitive markets.

Familiarity with ATS and recruiting tools such as Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever.

Experience building recruiting processes, interview loops, scorecards, or hiring playbooks from scratch.

Championship-winning mindset: We are here to build something exceptional, and outstanding performance is the expectation.

Team First: We are low ego. The success of the team and the mission comes before individual credit.

Tenacious: We are willing to do difficult, repetitive, and unglamorous work when that is what the job requires.

Accountant Obsessed: We exist to 10x accountants. Everyone at Additive spends time directly with accountants to understand their work and make it dramatically better.

Genuine Fun: We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We are building something ambitious with people we genuinely enjoy working with.
