Senior Technical Recruiter

ABOUT LIVEKIT

ABOUT THIS ROLE:

A lot of technical recruiting jobs at startups are a sprint: a big hiring push, a pile of reqs, then a hiring freeze and a reorg. This isn't that. Our engineering hiring is steady and it's going to stay that way, so we want someone who'd rather go deep with a handful of engineering teams than churn through whatever's on fire this week. The tradeoff: you'll be expected to actually understand what you're hiring for and how your work impacts the business overall. You'll be a Talent Business Partner to the LiveKit team.

You'll thrive as a Senior Technical Recruiter if you:

- are known as the go-to person for tackling tough problems

- are focused on polish, detail and quality

- are a fast learner, frequently picking up new tips, tricks, and skills

The best way to impress us is with thoughtful ways you'd implement AI in the recruiting process 😊

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own 8-10 engineering and technical searches end to end, from kickoff to signed offer

- Partner with engineering hiring managers on what the role really needs, and push back when the requirements don't match the market

- Source hard: find the infra, backend, SDK, and AI engineers who aren't looking, and give them a reason to talk to us

- Understand what candidates are motivated by and create a strategy to get them there

- Build pipelines for the roles we hire for again and again, so new reqs don't start from zero

- Run an honest, authentic and clear process emphasizing candidate experience that people talk about, even the ones we don't hire

- Help build the systems the Talent...
