- This role requires someone who can build from the ground up — crafting hiring processes, optimizing interview structures, advising leaders on market trends, and helping shape our talent brand
- Experienced and versatile: 7+ years of recruiting experience across technical and business roles, ideally within a high-growth SaaS or technology startup
- Builder mindset: Has built scalable recruiting processes, introduced new tools or systems, and thrives in environments with ambiguity and rapid growth
- High emotional intelligence: Listens deeply, builds trust quickly, and handles sensitive hiring and candidate situations with care and professionalism

- Strong closer: Skilled in candidate storytelling, negotiation, and ensuring alignment on expectations and offers
- Inspirational presence: Known for elevating the bar on talent; candidates and hiring managers alike want to work with them again
- Excellent communicator: Clear, structured, and empathetic communicator—able to distill complex ideas into actionable insights and influence decisions with data and conviction
What the job involves
- As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you’ll own full-cycle recruiting for both technical roles (Engineering, Product, Data) and business roles (Go-to-Market, Operations, Strategy). You’ll partner closely with leaders across the company to deeply understand their teams’ needs, design thoughtful hiring strategies, and deliver a first-class candidate experience that reflects NewtonX’s values and ambition
- You’ll report into the Head of People and work closely with the executive team to ensure our hiring strategy directly supports the company’s growth and product vision
- Develop and execute a strategic recruiting vision that supports NewtonX’s mission and growth. Partner with leaders across Engineering, Product, Data, and Business functions to anticipate hiring needs and build scalable recruiting strategies that ensure we attract the best talent in the market
- Help hiring managers understand how talent decisions shape our business trajectory—showing teams not just who to hire, but why the right hire drives impact. Innovate in how we attract and evaluate talent, pushing boundaries in sourcing, assessment, and candidate experience
- Embody and evolve NewtonX’s recruiting culture as we scale—driving excellence, consistency, and inclusion across every hiring touchpoint
- Design and execute effective hiring strategies across technical and business roles—from entry-level positions to senior leadership
- Plan and prioritize hiring needs in alignment with company goals and workforce planning
- Develop 6–12 month hiring roadmaps that anticipate business growth, evolving team structures, and future skill requirements
- Partner cross-functionally with the People, Finance, and Executive teams to align on headcount planning, budget, and organizational design
- Recruit at a world-class level—actively source and engage exceptional candidates, build talent pipelines, and close top performers across Engineering, Product, Data, and Go-To-Market functions
- Lead process design: build and continuously refine interview processes that ensure fairness, consistency, and quality while keeping the bar high
- Champion hiring excellence: equip managers with tools, training, and insights to make better hiring decisions, and instill a culture of ownership and accountability in hiring
- Represent NewtonX as a trusted ambassador in the market. Partner with Marketing, People, and leadership to showcase our culture, technology, and mission externally
- Speak at industry panels and events, participate in career fairs, and represent the company at networking opportunities
- Encourage team members to share authentic stories about their work through blogs, social posts, and community engagement
- Create programs that strengthen NewtonX’s employer brand among both technical and business audiences
- Operate as a true strategic partner to leadership—an advisor on all things talent
- Coach hiring managers on market trends, compensation ranges, and candidate engagement best practices
- Partner with the Chief People Officer on hiring forecasts, equity and compensation structures, and offer negotiation strategies
- Collaborate across departments to ensure hiring processes are inclusive, data-informed, and aligned with NewtonX’s broader goals
- Balance speed and quality—ensuring the recruiting team moves fast without compromising standards
- Drive recruiting team execution and measure results:
- Define and track metrics such as time-to-fill, pipeline quality, candidate experience, and hiring manager satisfaction
- Use data to uncover bottlenecks and improve efficiency week over week
- Experiment with new tools, sourcing channels, and employer branding tactics to optimize team output
- Ensure every candidate, hired or not, walks away with a positive impression of NewtonX
