About The Position

Overjet is hiring an Executive Recruiter to build and lead its leadership hiring approach as the company scales. Sitting on the Talent Team and partnering directly with executives, this role will define how Overjet finds, assesses, and hires leaders across functions including engineering, sales, finance, and clinical. The recruiter will create the leadership hiring engine from the ground up, rather than execute an established process.

The role owns the full leadership hiring process, from intake through signed offer, including designing and running searches for Director-level and more senior positions. It involves conducting proactive outreach and managing several searches at once, aligning executives on role profiles and hiring standards, developing rigorous candidate assessments, and delivering a timely, honest candidate experience. The recruiter will also document and track what works to improve future searches.

The successful candidate has sound judgment about leadership potential, builds rapport with senior executives, and is comfortable challenging them with evidence. High agency, conviction, and the ability to communicate Overjet’s mission to prospective candidates are important to success.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in leadership or executive recruiting, focused on Director+ roles, including VP and C-suite positions.
• Experience recruiting across a variety of functions at high-growth technology companies.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Working knowledge of leadership assessment tools and techniques.
• Ability to build rapport with senior executives quickly.
• High agency and conviction, including the ability to create processes and make evidence-based recommendations.
• Ability to communicate Overjet’s mission compellingly to prospective candidates.

Nice To Haves

• Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent experience is welcome.

Responsibilities

• Design and run the leadership hiring process from intake through signed offer for Director+ roles.
• Conduct full-cycle searches for senior leaders across multiple functions, often managing several searches simultaneously.
• Source candidates directly through proactive outreach and build pipelines without relying on a sourcer.
• Partner with executives to define what success looks like and align on role profiles, hiring standards, and recruitment strategy.
• Develop a rigorous, repeatable leadership assessment approach using appropriate methods such as structured interviews, work samples, and references.
• Provide executives with a timely and honest candidate experience throughout the hiring process.
• Close executive candidates, including those considering competing offers.
• Track where successful leaders come from and what predicts success to improve the hiring playbook.
• Push back when role profiles are vague or the hiring bar is drifting, using evidence to advocate for or against candidates.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity.
• Hybrid workplace with flexibility and vibrant in-person workspaces.
• 401(k) plan with matching program.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 99% of employee premiums and 75% of dependent premiums covered.
• Life and AD&D insurance.
• Eight weeks of paid parental leave.
• Optional HSA with employer contribution.
• Flexible time off and company-paid holidays.
• Annual learning and development stipend.
