Own the review of candidates for roles on Squad, increasing the matchmaking quality
Catch strong profiles that may have been misclassified by the system
Diagnose “weak” pipelines: analyze where drop-offs happen and identify issues in role definition, messaging, process, or comp.
Run intake and calibration conversations with hiring managers (internal and selected clients) to clarify must-haves and tradeoffs.
Capture clear, structured feedback from candidates and clients so we can continuously tighten shortlisting criteria and processes.
Turn your daily recruiting workflows into concrete product feedback on search, matching, workflows, and automation opportunities.
Partner with Product and Engineering to test new features, pressure-test matching logic, and surface real-world edge cases.
Help design and refine tagging, candidate review flows, and internal dashboards so the team can make better decisions, faster.
Develop and maintain internal playbooks for candidate review, pipeline rescue, and client launch so others can replicate what works.
Share best practices with our external recruiter network, helping them get more value from Squad and improving their submissions over time.

3–7+ years of full-cycle recruiting or embedded talent experience in high-growth environments (startup, RPO, or agency partnering closely with fast-moving teams).
Proven track record turning ambiguous or “hard-to-fill” roles into successful hires and rescuing underperforming pipelines.
Strong sourcing and screening chops, plus a sharp eye for candidate quality and fit across multiple signals (experience, skills, stage, context).
Experience partnering directly with founders or senior hiring managers, pushing back when needed and guiding them toward realistic, high-signal processes.
Excellent written and verbal communication; you’re clear, candid, and can synthesize feedback from candidates, clients, and recruiters into crisp insights.
High bias toward action: you move quickly, experiment, and are willing to get into the weeds of candidate review and process details.
