Squarespace is known for our innovative user interfaces, forward-looking use of modern technologies, beautifully designed software...and the people behind it all. As part of our recruiting team, you will be responsible for sourcing, evaluating and closing technical candidates, and for guiding them through a smooth and memorable interviewing experience. You will also help refine and evolve our hiring processes and practices as we scale towards 1000+ employees. You are innovative in your approach, preferring to experiment with new and unexpected tactics, rather than stick to traditional best-practices. 

This opportunity will stretch your skills and leverage your talents in creative ways. If you combine a passion for technology and outstanding recruitment skills, we offer the opportunity to work directly with senior-level management and top-flight product and engineering talent. By connecting candidates to Squarespace’s core values and product vision, you will be a driving force in building the premier technical team crafting the future of the web. This position reports to our Team Lead, Technical Recruiting. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Provide an efficient, high-touch experience for every candidate from application to offer, acting as candidate advocate, evaluating skill level, and driving the interview and offer processes including reference checks, compensation recommendations, and closing of candidates
  • Develop and execute hiring strategy for top engineering and design talent, and meet quarterly hiring targets
  • Design and implement hiring processes optimized for scale and high growth

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5+ years of experience with full-cycle recruiting and a track record of success within technical recruiting (either agency or internal) 
  • You're an excellent sourcer and can spot the not so obvious candidates (sourcing engineers out of top companies with degrees from great schools is easy)
  • You keep up-to-date with the latest engineering trends, frameworks, programming languages, and libraries
  • You're not afraid to dig into the data to identify inconsistencies, anomalies, and roadblocks
  • You stay up-to-date with new recruiting tools; how can we work smarter?
  • You love process and are always striving to optimize and improve
  • You're a great listener and communicator; you're not intimidated when speaking with senior engineers
