Senior Recruiter at WeBox in San Jose, CA

Job description

• We are looking for a Senior Recruiter who can hire across functions, levels, and geographies in a fast-growing startup environment.
• This is not a role focused only on coordinating interviews or managing an existing pipeline. We are looking for a hands-on recruiter who can independently identify, engage, assess, and close strong talent — including Manager and leadership-level candidates.
• You will own searches end-to-end, partner directly with hiring managers and senior leadership, and help us continuously raise the talent bar as WeBox scales.
• The right person is highly resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity, strong at sourcing, and able to move quickly without sacrificing hiring quality.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting across multiple functions, including Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Finance, and People
• Recruit across different levels, from individual contributors to Manager, Lead, and other senior-level positions
• Independently manage multiple searches and hiring priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment
• Build candidate pipelines from scratch through LinkedIn Recruiter, direct outreach, referrals, networking, and creative sourcing strategies
• Partner directly with hiring managers and senior leadership to define hiring profiles and translate business needs into effective recruiting strategies
• Assess candidates beyond resume qualifications, including capability, ownership, motivation, startup fit, and potential impact
• Drive candidates through the entire recruiting process, from initial outreach through interviews, offer negotiation, closing, and onboarding handoff
• Maintain urgency and momentum throughout the hiring process while delivering a strong candidate experience
• Use recruiting data and funnel metrics to identify bottlenecks and continuously improve sourcing and hiring effectiveness
• Help improve interview processes, hiring standards, recruiting systems, and talent strategy as the company scales

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Business, HR, or a related field
• 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful experience in a startup or high-growth environment
• Demonstrated ability to recruit across multiple functions and levels, including Manager or senior-level roles
• Strong outbound sourcing capability and experience building pipelines from scratch
• Advanced experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, direct outreach, referrals, and other sourcing channels
• Proven ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously and deliver results under tight timelines
• Experience partnering directly with senior hiring managers and company leadership
• Strong candidate assessment and interviewing judgment
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity, changing priorities, and limited structure
• High sense of urgency, ownership, and accountability
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and offer-closing skills
• Experience using ATS systems and recruiting funnel metrics
• Have worked in an environment where hiring priorities change quickly and recruiters are expected to adapt
• Are comfortable owning a difficult search rather than waiting for candidates to apply
• Can recruit a Customer Success hire one week and a Product Manager, Sales Manager, or Operations leader the next
• Know how to find and engage passive candidates
• Can challenge or refine a hiring manager's candidate profile when the market tells you something different
• Care about quality of hire, not just number of hires
• Prefer ownership and execution over heavy process and bureaucracy
