Purpose
As a Senior Recruiter, you’ll be a force multiplier across the organization—owning full-cycle recruitment for high-impact roles spanning engineering, manufacturing, operations, and business functions. You’ll partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to drive proactive hiring strategies and ensure we attract and close top-tier talent across all domains. This role requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment and balances high-volume tactical execution with strategic hiring advisory.
The Role
- Own full-cycle recruiting for a wide range of roles—from mechanical, software, and robotics engineers to finance, supply chain, program management, and operations positions
- Partner closely with hiring managers to define roles, craft job descriptions, and align on recruiting strategies
- Source and engage high-caliber candidates across active and passive channels, leveraging tools like LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, and your network
- Run structured, high-integrity interview processes that assess for both skill and team fit
- Deliver a high-touch, white-glove candidate experience from first outreach to close
- Work cross-functionally with People Ops, IT, and hiring teams to improve tools, workflows, and reporting
- Track and report recruiting metrics and hiring outcomes to inform continuous improvement
- Support employer brand initiatives including events, online presence, and employee referrals

- Strong sourcing and closing skills, especially with passive talent
- Data-driven mindset with experience using ATS platforms (e.g., Greenhouse) and sourcing tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter)
