Description

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Our Scaling Recruiting team helps build the teams behind the data centers that train and run our models.

We’re looking for a Recruiter to join our Data Center Infrastructure recruiting team. You’ll own searches from intake through offer and start, partnering closely with hiring managers, recruiters, and sourcers across sites and regions.

In this role, you will:

  • Build relationships with hiring managers before searches open to understand site milestones and anticipate hiring needs.
  • Lead search intake, align on what each hire needs to deliver, and calibrate candidate profiles and interview criteria with the hiring team.
  • Develop and execute sourcing strategies with sourcers and through direct outreach.
  • Manage multiple searches across sites and reset priorities with hiring managers as build schedules shift.
  • Use pipeline data and candidate feedback to identify bottlenecks and keep interviews and debriefs moving.
  • Keep leaders informed about which hires and start dates are on track and where they need to make a decision.
  • Own the candidate relationship from first outreach through start.
  • Lead closing conversations and coordinate offer approvals and start dates.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

  • Full-cycle recruiting experience for technical or operational teams.
  • The ability to build trust with hiring managers who work differently.
  • Experience building pipelines across multiple geographies.
  • Experience recruiting for data centers or adjacent environments.
