Sr. Recruiter

Mythic • Palo Alto, CA

5d • $135,000 - $220,000

About The Position

Mythic is looking for a Senior Recruiter with deep, hands-on experience hiring for the semiconductor industry to own full-cycle recruiting for some of our most technical and highest-impact roles. You'll partner directly with hiring managers, engineering leaders, and executives to build hiring strategy for hard-to-fill positions across chip design, process engineering, and silicon validation — and you'll bring the industry fluency and network needed to find and close candidates other recruiters can't reach.

Requirements

• 5-8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a significant, demonstrated focus on the semiconductor industry.
• Proven track record recruiting for technical semiconductor roles (e.g., design, process/integration, product/test engineering, packaging, CAD/EDA, or manufacturing).
• Strong existing network of semiconductor talent and fluency in industry-specific technical terminology, org structures, and career paths.
• Experience partnering with senior technical leaders (Director+) on hiring strategy, headcount planning, and org design.
• Track record of closing passive, competitive candidates in a tight talent market.
• Deep knowledge of compensation structures and equity/leveling practices common in semiconductor and broader hardware/tech companies.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills.
• Experience with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).
• Ability to manage a high-volume, high-complexity req load independently.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for technical and leadership roles across the semiconductor org, including RTL/design engineers, process integration engineers, device physicists, packaging engineers, test and validation engineers, and technical program managers.
• Act as a strategic partner to hiring managers and senior leaders, advising on market conditions, compensation benchmarking, org design, and hiring strategy rather than just sourcing against a req.
• Build and maintain a strong personal network and talent pipeline across semiconductor companies, fabs, and adjacent industries (EDA, foundry, equipment, materials).
• Lead sourcing strategy for niche and passive candidates, using deep knowledge of semiconductor sub-disciplines (analog/mixed-signal, digital design, DFT, CMOS process, packaging, yield/reliability) to identify qualified talent.
• Manage a high volume of concurrent searches, including confidential and executive-level searches, with minimal oversight.
• Drive an excellent candidate experience from first contact through offer and close, including offer strategy and negotiation.
• Serve as a subject matter expert internally on semiconductor talent markets, compensation trends, and competitor landscape.
• Mentor and support junior recruiters and coordinators; contribute to TA process improvement, tooling, and employer branding initiatives.
• Partner with HR and compensation teams to structure competitive, equitable offers in a highly competitive talent market.

Benefits

• We celebrate individual differences and encourage people to be comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work.
• We are committed to building a diverse workforce where everyone belongs.
• Mythic is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.
