We have an exceptionally high bar for talent, seeking individuals who are not only at the top of their field but also embody our culture of collaboration and positive impact.

Proficiency in advanced sourcing techniques, including Boolean search, X-ray searching, and social media sourcing.
Familiarity with assessing technical profiles beyond job titles (e.g., GitHub repos, coding portfolios, open-source contributions).
Experience working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, ideally within tech or product-led businesses.
A data-driven approach, using sourcing metrics and hiring insights to continuously improve effectiveness.
A candidate-first mindset, ensuring an outstanding experience for every person we engage with.
