Lead Recruiter

POSITION SUMMARY

This is a hybrid-role based in Los Angeles, with an expectation to be in office at least one day per week for onsite interviews.

You're as comfortable closing an engineering lead as you are automating a sourcing workflow. You roll up your sleeves to fill roles, but you never stop looking for ways to rebuild, rethink, and retool recruiting for maximum efficiency and quality.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a strategic impact without giving up the thrill of hands-on recruiting.

• Proficient in leveraging recruiting platforms and tools (e.g., Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, SeekOut); familiarity with AI-forward platform and ChatGPT-enhanced workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to influence executives, guide hiring managers, and close high-caliber talent in competitive markets.
• History of embedding inclusive hiring practices that improve representation and reduce bias across the funnel.

KNOWLEDGE

• In-depth understanding of recruitment strategy, legal compliance, and equitable process design across global markets.
• Ability to connect recruiting outcomes to business impact-workforce planning, organizational health, and performance metrics.
• Skilled in evaluating and optimizing recruiting tech stacks to reduce manual work and improve quality-of-hire.
• Data-literate and fluent in funnel metrics; uses dashboards to drive clarity, decision-making, and accountability.
• Technologically curious-able to test and implement AI tools that automate sourcing, scheduling, or candidate engagement.
• Confident in facilitating training sessions, hiring manager enablement, and company-wide communications around talent strategy.

DESIRED BEHAVIORS

• Future-focused-you stay ahead of where recruiting is going and love experimenting with tools that give you leverage.
