Technical Recruiter

Summary

Join Vercel's talent team as a Technical Recruiter to help scale critical technical organizations, including Engineering, Product, Data, Security, and IT. This role demands a proactive, results-oriented approach, requiring you to own full-cycle recruiting, build and manage pipelines for high-priority roles, and partner with hiring managers. You will develop and execute creative sourcing strategies, leverage data to optimize processes, and deliver a positive candidate experience. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of highly technical recruiting experience, strong technical acumen, and a proven ability to build hiring processes from the ground up. You will contribute to scaling hiring efforts across various aspects, from process and tooling to employer brand and market positioning. Vercel offers a competitive compensation package, inclusive healthcare, flexible time off, and a work-from-home budget.

Requirements

• 5+ years of highly technical recruiting experience, with a proven ability to engage deeply with both engineering and non-engineering domains (e.g. Product, Security, Data, IT)
• Strong technical acumen — you're able to quickly understand complex engineering concepts and speak credibly with candidates. Experience recruiting for deeply technical products is a big plus
• You've built hiring processes from the ground up, especially in newer or scaling functions, and know how to evolve them as the org grows
• You’re energized by ambiguity and naturally build structure where needed
• You move fast, think like a founder, and operate with high agency
• Strong sourcing fundamentals with a creative, targeted approach to outreach
• Comfortable using data to guide decisions, identify gaps, and iterate quickly
• Excellent communicator and relationship builder — you earn trust with ICs and execs alike

• Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies to attract top technical talent in a competitive market
• Use data to identify bottlenecks and optimize for speed and quality throughout the funnel
• Deliver a high-signal, high-touch candidate experience from first touch to close
• Contribute to how we scale hiring — from process and tooling to employer brand and market positioning
