Why We’re Hiring
Higharc is entering a rapid growth phase: expanding product offerings, onboarding new customers, and scaling our distributed team. To meet this demand, we need a hands‑on Director of Recruiting who can personally drive searches while elevating our overall hiring engine. You’ll partner deeply with hiring managers, leverage AI‑enabled tools, craft sourcing strategies, and translate headcount plans into predictable talent pipelines—all while collaborating with our Senior Recruiter (who will report to you) in an “all‑hands‑on‑deck” environment.
Note: This is NOT exclusively a people‑management role. You’ll roll up your sleeves to source, engage, and interview candidates daily.
What You’ll Do
Full‑Cycle Recruiting & Candidate Experience – Own candidate search strategies; source via traditional and AI‑enabled tools; conduct interviews and calibrate feedback with hiring teams. Maintain a high bar for overall candidate experience including template creation for candidate communications.
Strategic Partnership with Hiring Managers – Facilitate kickoff and weekly syncs; coach interviewers on structured, inclusive assessments; advise on role scoping, compensation, and market insights.
Process evaluation & creation - Documentation/playbooks/repeatable processes are a mandatory at Higharc - evaluate all current processes, suggest improvements and create new processes/artifacts/rituals.
Data-driven approach - work with the VP of People Ops to identify & track recruiting KPIs & metrics. Maintain a source of truth for recruiting (dashboard, etc) in order to both provide past, present, and future views of recruiting as well as identify gaps & improvement areas.
Creative sourcing & workforce strategy – Evaluate team resource needs and identify creative solutions for finding talent and evaluating solutions such as off-shore & contract workers.
Workforce Planning & Talent Forecasting – Translate quarterly/annual headcount plans into recruiting roadmaps; collaborate with Finance & People Ops on pipeline health, time‑to‑start, and budget adherence.
AI‑Enabled Process & Tech Optimization – Pilot and implement recruiting automations (sourcing bots, scheduling, screening); own our ATS (Ashby) and associated integrations to ensure the recruiting function is empowered by the latest .
Employer Brand & Sourcing Strategies – Partner with Marketing to showcase culture via social, events, and content; build diverse pipelines through community partnerships, referrals, and targeted outreach.
People Ops Collaboration & Special Projects – Lend broad People Ops expertise to onboarding, culture, or L&D projects during slower hiring cycles.
What You’ll Bring
8+ years recruiting experience in high‑growth tech, with direct, hands‑on success sourcing and closing Engineers, Product, Go‑to‑Market, and G&A talent. Specialization in hiring technical & niche talent is a must.
Demonstrated expertise partnering with hiring managers on role design, interview calibration, and offer strategy.
