The OpportunityAs Senior Recruiter at Hearth, you will own hiring end-to-end across both technical and non-technical roles - from Engineering and Product to Operations, GTM, and beyond. You won't wait to be handed a playbook; you'll build one. You'll be the person hiring managers trust to move a search from open to closed with speed, judgment, and zero hand-holding.
This is a senior, high-autonomy seat on a small team in a competitive B2B fintech market. If you thrive on carrying a full req load, closing a Senior Software Engineer one week and a GTM leader the next, and treating recruiting like a sales motion where you win candidates on more than comp then this is your role.
What You'll Do- Independently manage 4 to 5 or more open reqs at once spanning both technical and non-technical roles without dropping quality or speed.
- You anticipate bottlenecks and solve them before they slow a hire down.
- Own the process end-to-end: intake, sourcing strategy, screening, interview loop design, feedback, offer, and close.
- Work closely with hiring managers, adapting to how each of them operates, and act as their main point of advice on the search.
- Run intakes that define the success profile, calibrate the bar, and align on process before the search begins.
- Use market data and pipeline evidence to challenge and refine hiring strategy when a search stalls.
- Source across multiple channels: LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, communities, referrals, events, niche networks and AI sourcing tools.
- Treat recruiting like sales. You build genuine relationships, sell Hearth's mission and trajectory, and close candidates on more than the comp.
- Deliver a candidate experience that makes people want to say yes - responsive, human, and high-signal at every touchpoint.
- Track pipeline conversion, time to hire, pass-through rates and sourcing channel effectiveness, and adjust the approach based on what the numbers show.
- Keep ATS data clean and reporting accurate so the team always has a clear read on pipeline health.
What We're Looking For- 4-6 years of full-cycle recruiting.
- A track record across both technical and non-technical roles; you speak the language of engineers and executives equally well.
- Fintech or startup experience.
- A proactive, curious self-starter who moves with urgency and figures things out without being told how.
- Strong closing ability, with a track record of winning candidates on fit and opportunity rather than comp alone.
- Multi-channel sourcing skills and comfort working with pipeline data.
- Data-fluent and a resourceful, multi-channel sourcer who comfortably juggles 4-5+ reqs in a fast-growing SaaS or fintech environment.
