What We're Looking For

  • 3-5 years of technical sourcing or recruiting experience (agency or in-house)
  • Strong track record sourcing for software engineering roles, with solid understanding of engineering concepts, tech stacks, and terminology
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially for candidate outreach and stakeholder management
  • Advanced proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing tools (Boolean/X-ray search, GitHub, etc.)
  • Highly organized and able to independently manage multiple open roles at once
  • Able to work onsite in Mountain View, CA for the duration of the contract

Nice to Have
