What You'll Do
- Own top-of-funnel.
- Build and manage candidate pipelines across all roles: engineers, product, design, go-to-market.
- Define what "qualified" means before a single message goes out.
- Source proactively.
- GitHub, LinkedIn, research corpora, niche communities, referral networks.
- Find people who aren't on the market yet.
- Craft messaging that is precise, respectful, and relevant.
- No generic templates. Every message earns a reply or teaches you something.
- Build the research layer.
- Compile structured candidate profiles — background, signal, fit hypothesis — so the hiring team can move fast with context.
- Instrument the funnel.
- Track source quality, response rates, and pipeline health.
- Surface what's working and kill what isn't.
- Partner with the Talent Engineer.
- Feed signal into automation workflows.
- Help identify where manual work can be systematized without losing quality.
- Represent Bobyard well.
- Every candidate touchpoint is a brand moment.
Desired Experience
- 2–4 years of sourcing or recruiting experience, ideally for technical roles at an early-stage startup.
- Skilled at reading a resume, a GitHub profile, or a LinkedIn and quickly forming a fit hypothesis.
- Strong writer — your outreach gets replies because it's thoughtful, not because it's volume.
- Comfortable operating without a full playbook. You figure it out, then document it.
- Data-literate: you track your pipeline, know your conversion rates, and use that to improve.
- Familiar with ATS tools (Ashby preferred) and LinkedIn Recruiter.
- Bonus: exposure to construction, trades, or technical industries.
