Recruiter

Location: San Diego, CA (in-office)

About the role

Seasats has grown from 50 to over 100 people in under a year, and we're accelerating hiring across engineering, manufacturing, and operations. To keep up, we're hiring a Recruiter to add bandwidth to our hiring process, helping us source, screen, and interview candidates faster and more consistently.

You'll inherit a hiring process with a foundation already in place, including candidate comms, interview structure, and screening steps, with plenty of room to improve it as we scale. Your job is to help move candidates through that process quickly and well: reviewing applications, sourcing where needed, running Round 1 interviews, and sharpening our screening so we're spending time on signal, not noise. How well you execute it directly shapes who builds our vessels, the team we build around them, and the kind of company Seasats becomes.

Responsibilities

• Review inbound applications, schedule and run Round 1 interviews across our open roles
• Maintain and improve screening questions to keep pace with AI-generated applications and low-effort candidates
• Partner with outside recruiters on our hardest-to-fill roles
• Build and maintain relationships with hiring managers across departments, from scoping new roles and writing job descriptions to sourcing and closing candidates
• Manage candidate experience and communication throughout the funnel, from first outreach through offer
• Maintain a tracker of open roles, hires made, and time-to-fill to report progress against our hiring plan to leadership

Requirements

• Comfortable owning a wide, varied req load and switching contexts across different roles and candidate pools without losing momentum
• Self-starter attitude, with the initiative to figure out a hard req without waiting to be told how
• Genuine curiosity about people and what makes them a strong fit for a role, beyond just matching a resume to a job description
• Scrappy, get-after-it mindset that thrives on finding a way to succeed against new and challenging hiring goals across very different talent pools
• Some recruiting or interviewing experience, ideally including screening and interviewing, with sourcing experience a plus
• Excellent organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple active reqs across different functions at once
• Due to export control requirements, only U.S. persons (citizens, lawful permanent residents, asylees, or refugees) can be considered

About Seasats

At Seasats, we're passionate about delivering maritime robotics solutions to redefine the maritime industry. Our primary products are unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), designed to carry sensors at sea for months at a time. Our USVs provide persistent monitoring and data acquisition to defense, scientific, and commercial customers, and have autonomously crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. After thousands of years in which the only way to gather information from the ocean was to put people on a boat, these uncrewed vessels are transforming how humanity monitors and interacts with the ocean.

Here, you’ll find the space and opportunity to do your life’s best work.
