Role
Who you are
- You have 6+ years of experience navigating the technical talent landscape. You’ve spent the bulk of your career embedded within high-growth tech teams, successfully closing complex roles across Platform, Data Security, and AI/ML. You don’t just know the titles but you know the dependencies between the teams
- You have a foundational background in engineering. Whether you started your career as a dev, have a CS degree, or spent years in a deeply technical role before transitioning to talent. This technical literacy is your "superpower" when vetting talent
- You’ve mastered the art of the technical close. You know how to engage senior engineers and architects because you speak their language. You understand their motivations—from tech stack scalability to the challenges of distributed systems—and you can articulate our technical vision as effectively as a Hiring Manager
- You are an early adopter of AI and automation. You aren't intimidated by the shift toward AI-driven sourcing and assessment. In fact, you’ve likely already experimented with LLMs to optimize your workflow and are eager to architect a hiring process that leverages these tools to find high-signal candidates
- You are a data-driven strategist. You don’t just report on "time-to-fill." You use data to identify bottlenecks in the funnel, provide team-health insights to leadership, and build sustainable, diverse pipelines that stand up to the fast-paced demands of the Tech-Retail intersection
What the job involves
- Own the full-cycle technical engine. You’ll drive the end-to-end process—from collaborating on specialized job specs to sourcing and closing mid-level and senior talent—across our most technical teams
- Lead the charge on AI-integrated recruiting. You won’t just be using tools; you’ll be piloting and implementing AI workflows to solve the "noise" problem in the talent funnel, ensuring our sourcing and assessment methods are as cutting-edge as the Algos team itself
- Architect a diverse, high-signal talent pipeline. You’ll move beyond basic outreach to build a top-of-funnel strategy that prioritizes engineering excellence and diversity, ensuring we’re finding the best builders from every corner of the industry
- Act as a strategic advisor to technical leadership. You’ll partner directly with senior leaders to provide deep, data-driven insights into the talent market, helping shape our headcount strategy and team health with an engineer’s eye for optimization
- Level up our entire recruiting culture. You’ll move the needle by building systemic improvements into our hiring model—serving as a technical mentor within the talent team and setting a high bar for integrity, technical depth, and collaborative partnership
Our take
Shopping online for clothes is not always a fun experience. Finding clothes you like is only half the battle. Sizing guides and return policies seem to have been designed to be challenging to understand, and can also vary wildly from company to company.
Stitchfix sets out to change this by making online clothes shopping personalized and hassle-free. Customers take a survey on their personal tastes, and pay a one-off fee for a stylist, to receive a box of 5 personalized items. Then, they simply pay for any items they keep, or return what they don't want free of charge.
Stitchfix's unique blend of technology and human touch allows the company to deliver its personalized experience at scale. Unfortunately, this once exciting brand has been hit hard by economic trends, cutting back staff and shutting down UK operations entirely. Only time will tell if it can bounce back and find success again in the future.
