- Deep familiarity with technical roles — you can hold your own in conversations about engineering stacks, hiring bar, and team structure.
- Experience partnering with senior leadership on role scope, talent mapping, and overall team structure.

- Proficiency with Ashby (or comparable ATS), LinkedIn Recruiter, and sourcing tools.
