Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and engage high-quality passive Engineering candidates across a variety of technical disciplines.

• Develop creative sourcing strategies using LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, technical communities, referrals, and other sourcing channels.
• Build targeted talent maps and pipelines for current and future Engineering hiring needs.
