Senior Recruiter

Relay • Raleigh, NC

6d • Hybrid

About The Position

This is a full-cycle recruiting role on the Recruiting team, which sits in the broader, growing People Services team. This role requires a sharp, experienced focus on Go-to-Market and true Revenue-enabling functions: Account Executives, SDRs, Customer Success Managers, Sales Leaders, Marketing, and RevOps. We’re seeking a true talent partner, someone who understands what makes a great GTM hire, earns the trust of hiring managers by raising the bar, and wins competitive candidates. This role requires a player-leader mentality. You’ll own your full req load from sourcing to signed offer while also contributing to how the recruiting function evolves, whether that is better intake and scoping conversations, sharper interview processes, and/or refining our candidate experience. You’ll be a genuine thought partner with proven experience building real pipelines in both response to and in anticipation of accelerated growth. We seek a new team member who has closed candidates, has earned credibility with revenue leaders, and is the recruiting team member that hiring leaders ask to work with by name. The People Services team is a nimble team doing big work at Relay. Recruiting is the function that brings the right people in before the business feels the gap. We're a small team operating in a fast-moving company, which means you'll have real ownership, direct access to leadership, and more context than you'd get at a bigger org. The work isn't always clean, but it's always meaningful. If you do your best work when the stakes are high and the path isn't fully paved, you'll fit right in here.
