Talent Acquisition Recruiter (Contract)

Description

The company is a robotics firm building AI-powered robots meant to work alongside people. Its main humanoid robot, Apollo, starts with manufacturing and logistics, with healthcare and home uses planned later.

This is a 6-month minimum contract role recruiting for both technical and corporate positions. You will take ownership of varied, complex searches from intake through offer acceptance and advise hiring managers as a consultant rather than a order-taker. The ideal person has run full-cycle hiring in a high-growth setting, communicates clearly and proactively, has sharp business judgment, and can juggle several searches of different scope and seniority simultaneously.

Responsibilities

• Work with leaders and hiring managers to grasp business goals and advise on hiring approach, role definition, timing, and the realities of the market.
• Run full-lifecycle searches for technical and corporate roles of different complexity and seniority, from intake to accepted offer.
• Find candidates via LinkedIn Recruiter, professional networks, referrals, and direct outreach, adjusting your method to each talent pool.
• Review resumes and hold first-round interviews to assess skills, experience, and fit with company values.
• Hold intake and debrief meetings with hiring managers to set success criteria, calibrate on candidates, and keep searches on track.
• Act as the main contact for each candidate, keeping the experience personal and professional throughout the pipeline.
• Send clear, proactive, data-backed updates on pipeline status, risks, and market conditions to hiring managers, interviewers, and the People team.
• Negotiate offers and handle pre-employment steps through to close.
• Keep applicant tracking data accurate and compliant in Greenhouse.

Requirements

• A track record of running full-cycle searches across technical and non-technical roles in a fast-paced setting.
• A consultative approach and strong business sense, including pushing back constructively, shaping hiring plans, and tying each search to company goals.
• Clear communication that keeps stakeholders informed without them having to chase you.
• A history of building trusted relationships with leaders and cross-functional hiring managers.
• Hands-on sourcing ability and skill at building your own pipeline for niche or competitive roles.
• Adaptability to manage several searches of varying complexity at once.
• Experience with applicant tracking systems such as Greenhouse, Lever, or Ashby.
• Alignment with company values: Curiosity, Humility, Integrity, Passion, and Creativity (CHIPC).
• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting across technical and non-technical teams at a product-focused company.
• Experience supporting several functions and role types at once in a high-growth or startup environment.
• A proven record of closing complex, senior individual contributor and leadership roles across business and technical teams.
• Ability to sit at a desk for long periods working on a computer.
• Ability to lift 15 pounds at times.
