Technical Recruiter

Additive AI • San Francisco, CA

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Additive is looking for a Technical Recruiter to help build the team behind an AI product transforming tax and accounting. This is not a role where you inherit a polished recruiting machine and simply keep it running. We are still building the machine. You will own searches from first outreach through signed offer, work directly with hiring managers, and help us figure out how Additive should hire as we scale. Engineering will be the biggest focus, but you will recruit across the company as needed. We care a lot about quality, speed, and candidate experience. We are looking for someone who can find exceptional people, build trust with them quickly, and keep a search moving without needing a lot of structure around them.

Requirements

• 2 to 4+ years of recruiting experience, either in-house or agency, with experience independently owning searches from sourcing through close.
• Experience recruiting technical talent, particularly software engineers.
• Strong sourcing instincts. You do not rely on inbound applicants to fill roles.
• Excellent judgment and communication with both candidates and hiring managers.
• Comfortable working with incomplete information, changing priorities, and processes that are still being built.
• High ownership. If a search is not working, you dig in, figure out why, and change the approach.

Nice To Haves

• Experience recruiting for an early-stage or high-growth startup.
• Experience closing highly sought-after engineering candidates in competitive markets.
• Familiarity with ATS and recruiting tools such as Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever.
• Experience building recruiting processes, interview loops, scorecards, or hiring playbooks from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Own searches from start to finish. Source, screen, coordinate interviews, manage candidates, run offers, and close.
• Build engineering pipelines from scratch. You should be comfortable going outbound, finding hard-to-reach candidates, writing strong outreach, and creating momentum where there is no existing pipeline.
• Become a real partner to hiring managers. Push for clarity on what great looks like, calibrate quickly, surface tradeoffs, and keep searches moving.
• Close great candidates. Understand what motivates someone, build conviction throughout the process, navigate competing offers, and help us land people we are excited about.
• Make the candidate experience excellent. Candidates should leave every interaction with a clear sense of who we are, what we are building, and why the opportunity is worth considering.
• Help build the recruiting function. Improve our processes, tooling, interview practices, scorecards, and operating rhythms as the company grows.
• Know your pipeline. Track where searches stand, identify problems early, and communicate clearly about progress, risks, and what needs to change.
• Tell the Additive story well. We are a small, ambitious team building inside Thomson Reuters, and you should be able to explain why that combination is unusual and compelling.

Benefits

• Full health, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with match
• Commuter benefits, including parking and public transportation
• Lunch and dinner onsite
• Free Equinox membership, with Equinox located directly across the street from the office
