Talent Acquisition Partner

Role Overview

• Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles — from intake through offer acceptance — operating with speed and rigor at every stage
• Partner directly with hiring managers and senior leaders to define the talent profile, advise on market realities, and build a strategy for each search
• Proactively source and engage passive candidates through Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, talent mapping, referral networks, and creative direct outreach
• Design and facilitate structured interview processes that assess for both technical capability and performance potential — not just culture fit on paper
• Demonstrate a sharp, trained eye for what separates truly exceptional talent from candidates who simply interview well — evaluating trajectory, ownership mentality, the quality of their thinking, and the impact they've driven relative to their peers
• Build and maintain warm pipelines for recurring and critical roles so no search ever starts from zero
• Use recruiting data (pipeline health, funnel conversion, time-to-fill, source mix) to identify bottlenecks and continuously sharpen your process
• Challenge hiring criteria when job requirements are misaligned with the market — and back your recommendation with data
• Deliver a candidate experience that makes even declined candidates advocates for Giga

Requirements

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a high-growth, fast-paced, or agency environment
• Demonstrated track record of closing senior, niche, or highly competitive roles — not solely high-volume pipelines
• Experience partnering with and influencing VP-level and above stakeholders
• Expert-level sourcing skills — you build targeted candidate lists from scratch and write outreach that passive candidates actually respond to
• Strong talent assessment judgment — you can identify what makes someone genuinely exceptional: a pattern of outsized impact, intellectual curiosity, high ownership, and the ability to operate above their level; and you can distinguish that from candidates who are polished but plateau
• Proficiency with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, or equivalent) and LinkedIn Recruiter
• Ability to track, analyze, and present recruiting metrics to drive decisions and stakeholder alignment
