About The Position

Samsara is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud and the way we attract talent should reflect that same category-defining ambition.

One week you're building a proactive sourcing strategy for a hard-to-fill segment; the next you're designing an external partnership or activating a curated event into a talent pipeline. You'll work closely with recruiting leadership and execute across the full attraction ecosystem making sure every channel, program, and community touchpoint is working together toward the same goal: getting great people through the door.
