Senior Technical Recruiter

About the Role

Canary is scaling quickly, and we need an experienced Senior Recruiter to own our hiring process from top to bottom. This isn’t a role where you’ll just be following a pre-set manual; you’ll be expected to figure out what’s working, fix what isn't, and lead the charge on finding our next 50+ hires.

We’re looking for someone with at least 5 years of experience, specifically in the tech/SaaS space, who can handle full-cycle recruiting while helping us professionalize how we hire. You’ll work closely with our leadership team, and since we’re a meritocracy, your growth here will be tied directly to the quality of the team you help us build.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with hiring managers to define core competencies for open roles, draft precise job descriptions, and establish effective interview workflows.
• Full-Cycle Recruitment: Execute the end-to-end hiring process, including sourcing, initial screening and interview management.
• Candidate Sourcing: Proactively identify and engage qualified talent through LinkedIn, professional networks, and targeted outreach to maintain a healthy pipeline.
• Candidate Experience: Serve as the main point of contact for all applicants, ensuring a consistent, professional, and transparent experience throughout the hiring journey.
• Process Management: Ensure the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) remains accurate and up to date to provide leadership with clear visibility into the hiring funnel.
• External Relations: Act as the primary liaison for recruitment agencies and search firms when supplemental support is required for specialized searches.
• Data Reporting: Track and communicate key recruitment metrics, such as time-to-hire and source effectiveness, to help optimize the talent acquisition strategy.

Compensation

Target cash compensation ranges from $113,000-$158,200, including a fixed annual salary and a performance-based bonus paid quarterly.

This role also includes a stock option grant, subject to board approval.

Actual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's skill level, experience, and specific work location.

Qualifications

• Professional Experience: 5+ years of recruiting experience, preferably within a fast-growing SaaS company.
• Technical Sourcing: Experience recruiting for engineering, product, or other technical roles is a huge plus.
• Operational Autonomy: Proven ability to manage multiple open requisitions simultaneously while maintaining a high standard of quality.
• Interpersonal Skills: Strong professional communication skills with the ability to build rapport with candidates and provide consultative advice to senior stakeholders.
• Analytical Approach: Ability to use data to identify trends, address hiring bottlenecks, and improve overall recruitment efficiency.
• Adaptability: Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities may shift based on business needs.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
