Description
We're looking for a Technical Recruiter to join our global Talent team at ElevenLabs. This is not a conventional recruiter role , you'll own complex, high-impact technical hiring end to end, with a focus on Forward Deployed Engineering: engineers who work shoulder-to-shoulder with customers, from pre-sales evaluation through post-sales implementation.
You'll shape search strategy, build pipelines at the intersection of deep technical ability and customer-facing craft, and close candidates who are genuinely rare. You'll partner with engineering and revenue leadership to redefine what great FDE hiring looks like at scale, as part of a small, high-bar team with an uncompromising standard for quality of hire.
If you’re energized by ownership, creative problem-solving, and building hiring systems that scale, this role will stretch and level up your career.

- Partnering closely with hiring managers to deeply understand problems, calibrate on signals, and continuously raise the hiring bar.
- Designing and executing thoughtful search strategies , from market mapping and outreach to interview design and closing.
- Managing multiple complex searches simultaneously without sacrificing candidate experience or quality.
- Acting as a trusted advisor to candidates, guiding them through a rigorous process with clarity, empathy, and conviction.
- Serving as an ambassador for ElevenLabs , every interaction reflects our values and sets the tone for the candidate experience.
- Continuously improving how we hire by iterating on processes, tooling, and data-driven insights.
Requirements
- Proven experience hiring top-tier technical and forward deployed talent in competitive markets (we’d love to see ~3+ years, but impact matters more than years).
- Experience running full-cycle technical recruiting, including sourcing strategy, stakeholder management, and closing.
- Strong ability to manage high-complexity searches with many moving parts , you stay structured, adaptable, and focused.
- Skilled at translating technical and business needs into clear hiring strategies and compelling candidate narratives.
- Excellent written and verbal communication , you build trust with both deeply technical candidates and senior stakeholders.
