Honeycomb is a Series D-funded observability platform serving companies like Slack, HelloFresh, LaunchDarkly, and Vanguard. The company has scaled past 200 employees and was named to Forbes' America's Best Startups in 2022 and 2023.

As Senior Technical Recruiter, you will own full-cycle recruiting for R&D and technical roles, reporting to the Head of Talent Acquisition. You will run a full desk of priority searches and serve as a talent advisor to Hiring Managers—consulted before requisitions open, not after. Your responsibilities include:
• Own end-to-end searches from intake through offer acceptance, delivering diverse, well-vetted candidate slates on target timelines
• Manage a full desk of concurrent priority requisitions, maintaining candidates within hiring SLAs and keeping Greenhouse data clean
• Advise Hiring Managers on search strategy, leveling, and compensation using market data and pipeline analytics
• Build advisory relationships with business unit leaders, aligning stakeholders on hiring plans and guiding decisions
• Partner with Head of TA to convert approved headcount into recruiting plans and flag risks early
• Implement competency-based hiring by building Greenhouse scorecards, running interviewer kick-offs, and facilitating structured debriefs
• Deploy DEI sourcing tactics to broaden representation and improve quality of hire
• Analyze funnel metrics in Greenhouse and Gem, share insights with stakeholders, and drive process improvements including interviewer enablement and candidate-experience initiatives
You will shape how Honeycomb hires as the company scales, with real trust and autonomy from day one.

• Measurable results from DEI sourcing and fair-assessment practices
• Strong written communication skills and experience facilitating productive kick-offs, debriefs, and pipeline reviews
• Ability to have direct, kind conversations with Hiring Managers about candidates, leveling, and process aligned with company values (Ownership, Feedback Is a Muscle, Kind Candor)
• Experience in remote-first, fast-changing environments with a track record of mentoring peers and improving processes
NICE TO HAVES:
