About The Position

We're looking for a Talent Partner who brings operator-level credibility to technical recruiting. You'll be the strategic force behind search execution for PCT's clients — companies ranging from pre-seed to pre-IPO — partnering directly with founders and technical leaders to hire exceptional engineering and technical talent. This role is perfect for someone who thrives with autonomy, has a high bar for quality of hire, and is energized by building repeatable yet flexible recruiting processes across different company stages and hiring contexts. Note: This role is fully remote, but will require on average 4-5 hours of overlap a day within the 9-6pm PT timezone due to client, team, and candidate overlap.

Requirements

You've spent the majority of your career in technical recruiting inside product-led or SaaS companies.
You've owned senior and staff+ searches end-to-end and have the credibility to walk into a room with a CTO and immediately earn their trust
You've hired across Engineering and at least a few adjacent technical functions — Product, Design, Data, Security, or QA.
You don't need someone to tell you how to prioritize your day. You're used to managing multiple searches simultaneously and making judgment calls without hand-holding
You've worked somewhere with a genuinely high talent bar and can articulate — concisely — what separates a strong candidate from an exceptional one
Boolean search, talent mapping, and high-volume outreach are native to your workflow, not tasks you outsource
Strong written communication skills. You can synthesize a search update, write a compelling candidate message, or brief a founder — all with clarity and efficiency
Comfortable in an ATS (Ashby experience a plus, but not required) and curious about how AI and new tooling can sharpen your workflow

Nice To Haves

You're not a generalist, but you're not one-dimensional either
If you haven't been using AI tools daily and are only familiar with ChatGPT
You're a hiring generalist who hasn't gone deep on technical recruiting
You need significant ramp time before operating independently with senior stakeholders
The majority of your experience is in high-volume or early-career hiring
You're coming in with a fixed playbook and aren't excited to think from first principles
You want heavy structure and frequent direction — we give you ownership, not a checklist

Responsibilities

Lead full-cycle technical searches across Engineering and adjacent functions (Product, Design, Data, Security, QA) for PCT clients
Partner directly with founders and VP-level leaders to qualify roles, align on hiring criteria, and move searches forward with urgency
Build and coach clients through structured, high-signal interview processes — especially when working with first-time hiring managers
Conduct deep talent mapping and competitive analysis to identify where the best candidates are and how to reach them
Create innovative sourcing strategies that go beyond inbound and referrals to build diverse, high-quality candidate pipelines
Screen and evaluate senior+ technical talent with the judgment to know what separates good from great
Track pipeline health, pass-through rates, and search progress — using data to optimize your approach and communicate clearly with clients
Work closely with PCT's Technical Sourcers to align on targeting strategy and move searches efficiently
