Senior Technical Recruiter, HOVER

• 7+ years of deep experience in full-cycle technical recruiting supporting software engineering organizations across multiple levels (senior IC through engineering management)
• Strong sourcing expertise with a track record building pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles like Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and other specialized engineering roles
• Experience as a strategic partner to hiring managers — shaping hiring strategy, not just executing search requests
• Background in high-growth or scaling technology companies, comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities
• Proficiency with modern recruiting tools, including an ATS (Greenhouse preferred), LinkedIn Recruiter, and outreach/CRM platforms (Juicebox, Gem, Ashby, or similar)
• Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to improve sourcing, candidate engagement, and recruiting operations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to represent Hover's brand directly to candidates
• Genuine curiosity about technology and engineering, with the ability to learn complex technical domains quickly and engage credibly with engineering candidates and leaders
• Passion for building exceptional engineering teams, with a proactive, high-quality approach to sourcing and a relentless focus on candidate experience
• This role is open to candidates at the Senior or Principal level — we'll land on the right level together based on the scope of experience you bring, particularly around strategic hiring manager partnership and independent ownership of complex searches
