Senior Technical Recruiter

Hybrid (Boston HQ) with a Monday–Thursday in-office schedule and Friday work from home. You will own the full recruiting lifecycle for technical roles, partnering closely with engineering and hiring managers while building a candidate experience that is clear, honest, and responsive from first outreach through offer.

As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you will drive end-to-end hiring for positions such as Software Engineering, Data Science/ML, Analytics, and Product Management. The work is data-driven, independent, and focused on hitting both fill and time-to-fill targets, while developing proactive sourcing plans for hard-to-fill talent.

What you’ll do

• Own a full portfolio of technical requisitions end-to-end, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing, while running searches independently.
• Proactively source and map the talent market for hard-to-fill roles by building a qualified pipeline through active outreach to passive candidates.
• Partner with engineering and technical hiring managers as a credible advisor by running intakes, calibrating the bar, and using data to reset searches or shift profiles when needed.
• Develop offer strategy and close competitive candidates by anticipating counteroffers, surfacing hesitations early, and driving the close through to acceptance.
• Use your own funnel metrics to identify where a search is leaking across sourcing, screening, or closing, then adjust strategy accordingly.
• Deliver a consistent candidate experience that remains clear, honest, and responsive from initial contact through offer.

What you bring

• 1–2 years of full-cycle tech recruiting experience, ideally in a fast-paced in-house or agency environment filling engineering or technical roles.
• Working fluency in technical hiring, with the ability to hold credible conversations about Software Engineering, Data Science/ML, Analytics, or Product Management and define what “good” looks like.
• A track record of independently owning requisitions and closing candidates against competing offers.
• Real sourcing capability beyond inbound applicant flow, including comfort finding, engaging, and moving passive technical talent.
• Comfort operating with data by using funnel metrics to prioritize requisitions, diagnose bottlenecks, and defend search strategy.
• Strong organization and judgment under competing demands, with tact to keep both hiring managers and candidates aligned.
