Technical Recruiter - Americas

Ashby • ,

27d • $140,000 - $190,000 • Remote

About The Position

Ashby is seeking a Technical Recruiter with a proven track record of discovering and hiring amazing technical talent. The ideal candidate will have breadth across technical hiring beyond just engineering, including roles like Product Design, Product Management, IT, Security, QA, and Data. This role prioritizes a relationship builder who can partner with a wide range of stakeholders, manage multiple searches simultaneously, and create a repeatable yet flexible process that works across the organization. The Technical Recruiting function is relatively new, offering an opportunity to build and optimize processes at scale. The role involves coaching first-time hiring managers, deep market mapping, partnering with VP/founder level stakeholders, and balancing diverse recruiting scopes. While Ashby is doing many things well, there's an opportunity to shape the future of the Tech Recruiting function.

Requirements

• Proven track record as an expert “Engineering” Recruiter in a product-led company with some exposure to other technical roles such as Product Design, Product Management, IT, Security, QA, and Data.
• Ideally, have been focused on technical hiring from within a SaaS company for a significant portion of your career.
• Owned hiring for staff+ technical roles, comfortable working on more senior searches.
• Operated with autonomy and are used to leading searches end-to-end.
• Worked somewhere with a very high talent bar and understand the subtle indicators that separate 'good' from 'great' technical talent.
• Data-driven mindset, able to optimize your workflows, balancing diversity, quality, and volume.
• Demonstrated experience in creating innovative sourcing strategies that differentiate the talent pipelines from the inbound attraction and referrals that we have traditionally used.
• Strong recruiting instincts: ability to drive urgency, risk reputation, and move obstacles for exceptional candidates.
• Excellent judgment to balance a reliable recruiting system with agility for unique situations.
• High standards for themselves and a commitment to doing the little things exceptionally well.
• Spikiness and self-awareness: exceptional in one area rather than just good across the board.
• Left and right-brain thinkers: ability to use both sides, approaching experimentation with scientific rigor and creativity in uncovering talent sources, attraction, or tool utilization.
• Embodying the power of incremental gains: obsessed with compounding and making small improvements to workflow, experimenting with new AI tooling.
• Curiosity about the recruiting + startup landscape: finger on the pulse of the broader startup ecosystem.
• Sharpness and intellectual humility: a natural thought-sparring partner who embodies “strong views, loosely held.”

Nice To Haves

• Experience using Ashby as an ATS.
• Experience with a similar startup journey or seen what it takes to increase hiring by an order of magnitude.
• Ability to communicate concisely and effectively through long-form writing.
• Experience experimenting with new AI tooling.

Responsibilities

• Coaching first-time hiring managers on how to build an exceptional recruitment process from the ground up.
• Deep market mapping and analysis to predict where the next wave of top talent is currently being cultivated.
• Partnering directly with the VP/ founder level, where you need to extract key information in a limited amount of time.
• Balancing periods of managing multiple roles in different domains with times where you are deep-diving into a single position.
• Developing processes that focus on the highest quality of hire as we scale.
• Strategizing creative ways to accelerate hiring, as well as getting your hands dirty finding and evaluating candidates.
• Scaling a recruiting function by orders of magnitude (2x-5x hiring).
• Staying at the forefront of the recruiting industry, impacting the TA space, being an internal tester for product teams, a resource for sales and marketing, and demoing Ashby features to prospective customers.
• Storytelling through data, digging deep into the analytics suite to discover insights into what makes a great hire and how to improve the process.
• Boolean search and talent mapping activities.
• Requisition qualification with senior leaders.
• High volumes of outreach and screening calls.
• Prioritization of your workload.

Benefits

• 10-year exercise window for stock options.
• Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year.
• Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US.
• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget.
