About The Role

We're looking for a Recruiter II to hire exceptional talent across Duolingo's technical functions. You'll run full‑cycle searches, partner closely with hiring managers to define profiles, build strong pipelines, and deliver a white‑glove candidate experience. You'll balance speed and quality, use data to inform decisions, and help maintain Duolingo's high talent bar.

Responsibilities

• Own full‑cycle recruiting (intake, sourcing, assessments, offers) and drive efficient, high‑quality hiring outcomes for various roles in our technical functions, with potential to work on some non-technical roles.
• Partner with hiring managers to align on role requirements, interview plans, and timelines; help set clear expectations and keep searches on track.
• Support intake meetings and recruiting syncs by sharing updates, surfacing insights, and recommending next steps.
• Execute strong recruiting operations: manage timelines, track progress, and proactively communicate status updates and risks, complying with standardized processes and usage of tools.
• Deliver an excellent candidate experience with timely communication, structured assessments, and clear feedback loops from first touch to close.
• Use data to inform your work: monitor funnel health, identify trends, and suggest improvements to your searches.
• Use a mix of internal and third‑party tools, including AI.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of full‑cycle recruiting experience, including sourcing and closing for technical roles like engineering, data science, and/or AI roles.
• Experience hiring for moderately complex roles (e.g., industry hires, early-career or internship roles, or program management roles).
• Ability to manage multiple searches at once while maintaining strong organization and candidate experience.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; you build trust and keep hiring partners aligned.
• Experience using recruiting data (e.g., pipeline metrics, conversion rates) to inform your approach and your stakeholders.
• Comfortable ideating, building, and experimenting with AI tools, like ChatGPT to support recruiting workflows.
• Ability to work from or relocate to Pittsburgh, PA.

Preferred Qualifications

• A deep alignment with Duolingo's mission.
• Experience recruiting across multiple technical functions.
• Deep knowledge of the current hiring landscape, including current trends and platforms.
• Experience recruiting in tech, startups, or high-growth companies.
• Experience with tools like Gem, Brighthire, Guide, and Greenhouse.
