• The ability to understand technical requirements and evaluate relevant experience beyond job titles and keyword matches.
• Strong research skills, including Boolean search, talent mapping, and finding candidates beyond standard recruiting databases.
• Clear, compelling writing and the confidence to lead credible conversations with technical candidates.
• Good judgment about candidate fit and the ability to explain your recommendations with specific evidence.
• Strong organization and follow-through across multiple searches and shifting priorities.
• A collaborative working style, openness to feedback, and the initiative to keep searches moving independently.
• Familiarity with applicant tracking systems and sourcing tools, along with careful handling of candidate information.

Nice To Haves

• Experience recruiting in telecommunications, satellite communications, semiconductors, IoT, or related technical fields.
• Experience supporting a startup or a small recruiting team.
• Experience sourcing across international talent markets.
• Familiarity with embedded software, cellular networks, wireless protocols, or cloud and network infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Partner with the recruiting lead and hiring managers to define candidate profiles, distinguish essential skills from preferences, and calibrate searches.
• Build pipelines across technical disciplines such as software engineering, cloud infrastructure, embedded systems, wireless communications, and network engineering.
• Identify and engage passive candidates through LinkedIn, technical communities, referrals, targeted research, and creative sourcing channels.
• Write personalized outreach that connects a candidate’s experience and interests to the work they could do at Skylo.
• Conduct initial screens to understand candidates’ relevant experience, motivations, career goals, and practical requirements.
• Deliver clear candidate summaries and thoughtful handoffs to the recruiting lead, maintaining engagement as candidates move through the process.
• Map relevant companies and talent markets, sharing insights that help the team refine requirements and prioritize searches.
• Track pipeline health, outreach response rates, and conversion to qualified interviews, using results and hiring manager feedback to improve your approach.
