Full Job Description
About the Role:
Fresh off a $225M Series C, we're acquiring companies at pace and the hiring demand that comes with it is real. We're looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter who can operate at that velocity without sacrificing quality. You'll own full-cycle recruiting across engineering and product for Beacon and its portfolio companies, working directly with technical leaders to build teams in markets like San Francisco, Toronto, and New York. What You'll Be Doing:
Full-cycle ownership. From first outreach to signed offer across engineering, product, and adjacent functions. You run the process; you don't hand it off.
Strategic partnership. You'll work directly with engineering and product leaders to build hiring strategies that fit today's market, not last year's playbook.
Creative sourcing. LinkedIn is the floor, not the ceiling. GitHub, niche communities, your own network, and AI-assisted tooling are all in play.
Operational rigor. We use Ashby and we take our data seriously. Clean pipelines, tight feedback loops, and disciplined process are non-negotiable.
The close. You know how to navigate comp conversations and competing offers without losing your composure or your candidate.
Brand building. You'll help tell the Beacon story in the markets we're hiring in and make candidates want to be part of what we're building.
What You Bring:
7+ years of technical recruiting experience with a track record of senior engineering hires that you're proud of.
Comfort in high-growth, fast-changing environments. You don't need a manual; you're happy to write one.
Technical fluency. You can calibrate on engineering talent without needing a hiring manager to hold your hand.
Communication that's polished and authentic, whether it's cold outreach or a high-stakes offer call.
Self-direction. You know how to prioritize, manage your time, and deliver without being supervised.
Hands-on experience with Ashby or Greenhouse.
BA/BS degree.
Bonus Points:
You've recruited PMs and understand what makes a great one.
Agency background. You know what urgency feels like and you don't need to manufacture it.
An active Bay Area network in the startup/tech ecosystem.
You've built interview rubrics and calibration processes from scratch because you believe in a fair, data-driven bar.
