Senior Recruiter, Commercial & Corporate

About the Role

Nominal is building the connected test and operations platform powering the world's most advanced hardware systems. As a Senior Recruiter, Commercial & Corporate at Nominal, you'll partner closely with leaders across the company to build talent pipelines, run thoughtful full-cycle recruiting processes, and close exceptional candidates across our commercial and corporate functions.

Responsibilities

• Manage full-cycle recruiting processes and candidate experience, owning hiring processes end to end, from kickoff and sourcing through interviews, offer negotiation, and close.
• Partner closely with hiring managers across Sales, RevOps/Enablement, G&A, and Marketing to define hiring profiles, calibrate candidate quality, and run structured interview processes.
• Build strong candidate pipelines by sourcing and engaging high-signal candidates through direct outreach, referrals, and market mapping.
• Own how we recruit, shaping recruiting operations, sourcing strategy, and Nominal's talent brand as the company grows.
• Support the broader team by flexing into technical, Federal, or leadership recruiting support elsewhere in the org when a specific need arises.

Requirements

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including building a sourcing pipeline from the ground up, across more than one function (sales plus at least one other domain).
• Experience recruiting for Commercial Sales roles, including Enterprise and Mid-Market: evaluating talent against quota performance, sales cycle length, deal complexity, and genuine fluency in concepts like sales motion and playbook-driven selling.
• A track record of using recruiting and pipeline data to inform sourcing strategy.
• A strong ability to build relationships and establish trust quickly with both candidates, hiring managers, and leadership.
• A highly organized, execution-oriented approach, with a track record of operating well amid ownership and ambiguity in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Experience with AI tools in day-to-day recruiting work, and the initiative to adopt or create solutions rather than wait for tooling to be handed to them.

Skills

• Experience transitioning a recruiting function from agency-dependent to in-house sourcing.
• Explaining and closing candidates on startup compensation and equity packages.
• Marketing or G&A-specific recruiting experience.
• Experience recruiting in a hardware, defense, AI or deep-tech adjacent company.

Benefits

• 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Unlimited PTO and sick leave.
• Free lunch, snacks, and coffee.
• Professional Development Stipend.
• In-office hardware lab with a $250 project stipend.
