You will translate business priorities into recruiting plans, develop a strong team, and partner with Engineering leaders to hire the technical talent their organizations need.

You will bring sound judgment, technical recruiting expertise, and the ability to build productive partnerships across a complex organization.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and develop the team. Set clear expectations, provide regular coaching and feedback, and hold recruiters accountable for search quality, stakeholder partnership, candidate experience, and results.
- Own recruiting delivery for your Engineering portfolio. Translate approved hiring plans into recruiting priorities, allocate team capacity based on role complexity and business needs, and adjust plans as priorities change.
- Advise Engineering leaders. Build trusted relationships with senior leaders and hiring managers. Bring market insight and recruiting data to discussions about talent availability, role requirements, location, compensation, and hiring timelines.
- Guide technical search strategy. Help recruiters and sourcing partners develop targeted approaches for specialized and difficult-to-fill roles.
- Strengthen hiring decisions. Partner with hiring managers to define clear role requirements, establish consistent evaluation criteria, and prepare interview teams to assess candidates effectively.
- Use data to improve results. Review pipeline health, conversion rates, time in stage, offer acceptance, and recruiter capacity.
- Support candidate engagement and closing. Coach recruiters on communicating the opportunity, understanding candidate motivations, and building thoughtful closing strategies.
- Improve how the team operates. Address recurring issues within your portfolio and partner with Recruiting Operations, People Business Partners, Compensation, and recruiting leadership on improvements that require broader coordination.
Requirements:
- Substantial experience in technical recruiting, including direct people leadership and responsibility for hiring across multiple Engineering teams.
- A strong record of developing recruiters, managing performance, and building teams that deliver consistent results.
- Experience recruiting across a range of engineering disciplines and levels, including senior and specialized technical positions.
- The ability to earn credibility with senior Engineering leaders, influence decisions, and navigate competing priorities.
- Strong judgment in assessing search progress, diagnosing problems, and deciding when to intervene or escalate.
- Experience using recruiting data and talent market insights to guide decisions and communicate realistic expectations.
- Clear, direct communication and the ability to make complex hiring issues understandable and actionable.
- A commitment to fair, consistent assessment and a thoughtful experience for every candidate.
