About the RoleWe're looking for a Senior Manager of Recruiting to lead and grow our talent acquisition function. You'll own the end-to-end recruiting strategy for the company, manage a small team of recruiters and partner closely with hiring managers across the business to build high-performing teams. This role is equal parts hands-on recruiter and team leader - you'll be in the weeds on key searches while also developing your team and improving how we hire.
What You'll Do- Lead a team of 2-5 recruiters, providing coaching, feedback, and career development support
- Own recruiting strategy across GTM, Product, Engineering, and G&A functions in partnership with department heads
- Drive full-cycle recruiting yourself for senior and critical roles; this is a hands-on seat, not just a management role
- Build hiring plans with department heads to translate headcount needs into clear, executable pipelines
- Define and track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, pipeline health) and use data to continuously improve
- Develop proactive sourcing strategies that reduce reliance on inbound and expand our talent pipelines
- Ensure a consistent, compelling candidate experience from first touchpoint through offer
- Manage relationships with external recruiting partners and agencies when needed
- Contribute to employer brand initiatives and represent our culture authentically to candidates
What We're Looking For- 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 2 years in a team lead or management capacity
- Experience recruiting across multiple functions at a SaaS or technology company
- Proven ability to fill technical and go-to-market roles in competitive markets
- Strong data orientation; you use pipeline metrics to drive decisions, not intuition alone
- Excellent stakeholder management skills; you can push back on hiring managers while keeping relationships strong
- A builder mentality: you've improved processes, built programs, or scaled a function before
- Hands-on approach; you're comfortable leading a search yourself when the team needs it
Nice to Have- Experience at a high-growth startup (Series B-D)
- Familiarity with compensation benchmarking and offer strategy
- Experience implementing or optimizing an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, etc.)
What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months- Team is hitting target time-to-fill benchmarks across all open roles
- Hiring managers trust the process and see recruiting as a strategic partner
- Clear visibility into pipeline health and forecasted hiring capacity
- At least one process or program improvement is live and making a measurable difference
- The team feels supported, developed, and clear on what good looks like
Benefits- Comprehensive Healthcare: 100% coverage for medical, dental, and vision for all FTEs, with roughly 75% coverage for dependents.
- Flexible Time Off: Flexible vacation days plus quarterly mental health days to ensure you have the space to recharge.
- Annual Stipends: Dedicated funds for your professional development and caretaking needs.
- Work Anniversary Bonuses: Annual bonuses to celebrate your milestones and contributions to the CaptivateIQ team that grow as your tenure does.
- Retirement Savings (US-Only): A 401(k) plan to help you invest in and secure your future.
- Premium Tools: The latest Apple hardware to empower you to do your best work.
- Inclusive Community: Active Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that celebrate shared identities and support our DEI goals by fostering an environment where diverse talent thrives.
