Technical Recruiter

Hi I'm Jim, the VP of People and Talent at Ashby. **Instructions**: 1. Resumes showed mínimal experience as a Full Lifecycle Recruiter, recruiting for Software Engineering roles. We will only hire someone with deep SWE hiring experience. 2. Role descriptions on resumes focusing on projects or leadership rather than delivery of hires for Engineering roles. Projects and leadership is great, but I needed to see the evidence of you doing the Recruiting work. 3. Resumes showed no or mínimal experience of hiring in a Product led Engineering environment. As per the job description we were looking for SaaS experience ideally. 4. Resumes didn't articulate the impact that the applicant had in past roles. The JD stated "Data-driven mindset, able to optimize your workflows" and data can show this impact. 6. Resumes had a general lack of specifics. "Recruited a variety of roles" doesn't tell the reader that you've handled Software Engineering recruiting. Likewise, a company name alone doesn't help the reader know it's Product led organization. On that last point, a little blurb about the company is really helpful for anyone reading the resume and helps them avoid mistakes by thinking that a company isn't from "X" sector. **The Story** I've been at Ashby for 2 years and a bit and we need some help Interest in our product is driving amazing growth and, as a People Team, we need to expand our capacity to hire. Since our Recruiting team formed, our hiring managers have been doing most of the recruiting on their own, with some help from our lean recruiting team. As we plan out hiring for late 2025 and beyond we recognize we will need wider recruiting support, hence this role opening.
