Job Summary
Own full-cycle recruiting for Hover's ~100-person Engineering organization, partnering directly with the Head of Engineering to build sourcing strategy, run structured interview loops, and close offers for senior engineers through leadership. Execute outbound campaigns using LinkedIn Recruiter, Juicebox, and AI-assisted tools while coaching hiring managers to improve interview calibration and data-informed decisions. Develop custom sourcing agents and automation workflows to enhance efficiency and candidate experience across the team. This role is based in San Francisco with three in-office days per week.

- Strong sourcing expertise with a track record building pipelines for hard-to-fill technical roles like Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and other specialized engineering roles
- Experience as a strategic partner to hiring managers — shaping hiring strategy, not just executing search requests
- Background in high-growth or scaling technology companies, comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities
- Proficiency with modern recruiting tools, including an ATS (Greenhouse preferred), LinkedIn Recruiter, and outreach/CRM platforms (Juicebox, Gem, Ashby, or similar)
- Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to improve sourcing, candidate engagement, and recruiting operations
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to represent Hover's brand directly to candidates
- Genuine curiosity about technology and engineering, with the ability to learn complex technical domains quickly and engage credibly with engineering candidates and leaders
- Passion for building exceptional engineering teams, with a proactive, high-quality approach to sourcing and a relentless focus on candidate experience
- This role will be based out of our SF location.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience recruiting for AI/ML, computer vision, infrastructure, graphics/3D, or security engineering domains
- Experience building or evolving interview processes, recruiting playbooks, or hiring programs at a scaling company
- Prior experience at a recruiting agency in addition to in-house experience
