About The Position
We’re looking for a Lead Recruiter to aggressively scale HiveWatch’s hiring engine across Technical, Sales, and G&A roles.

You’ll own full-cycle hiring, develop high-quality pipelines, and build the interview structure, processes, and recruiting operations needed for HiveWatch to scale quickly and intelligently. You will also serve as the face of the company for candidates, telling the HiveWatch story in a compelling and authentic way. You’ll work directly with leadership and hiring managers, operate with significant autonomy, and help define what “great talent” looks like as we scale beyond 50 employees.
