LAYIQ - Senior Recruiter, R4R at Anduril

End-to-End Hiring Execution
Own the full recruiting lifecycle (with sourcing support) for Recruiter and Recruiting Coordinator roles across divisions — from sourcing and screening through offer negotiation and close — ensuring a world-class candidate experience that reflects the standard we expect our hires to deliver.
Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies to build robust pipelines for TA talent, recognizing that the best recruiters are rarely active applicants and require differentiated outreach, not just InMail volume.
Manage the interview process end-to-end: conduct in-depth screens that assess recruiting craft (not just career narrative), prepare candidates and interviewers, and facilitate calibrated debriefs that separate strong operators from strong interviewees.
Assess candidates against our competency framework — evaluating not just what they’ve done, but how they think about sourcing, stakeholder management, data, and candidate experience at a level that matches or exceeds our bar.
Embedded Business Partnership
Partner closely with TA leadership and hiring managers across divisions to understand current and future recruiting capacity needs, team composition gaps, and the specific recruiting profiles that will succeed in each business context.
Act as a talent advisor for TA hiring, using market data on recruiter compensation, availability by specialization (technical, G&A, cleared, etc.), and competitive intelligence to shape job descriptions, calibrate expectations, and influence headcount planning.
Provide transparent, regular updates on pipeline health, search progress, and market conditions to your stakeholders — particularly when the news requires recalibrating timelines or expectations.
Advise on role design and leveling for TA positions, helping hiring managers distinguish between an IC3 and IC4 recruiter profile, or when a Recruiting Coordinator role should be scoped as a sourcer hybrid.
Functional Craft & Collaboration
Contribute to the TA Center of Excellence by sharing market intelligence on recruiting talent trends, compensation benchmarks, and sourcing strategies that work for hiring recruiters specifically.
Mentor junior recruiters on the team — not just on process, but on the judgment calls that separate a good recruiter from a great one: when to push back on a hiring manager, how to read a passive candidate’s motivations, when to walk away from a search that’s mis-scoped.
Partner with your Functional Manager to set development goals and grow your career toward Staff-level impact.
Uphold data integrity in our ATS/CRM to ensure accurate reporting, capacity planning, and pipeline analytics for the TA function.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
5-8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Direct experience recruiting recruiters, recruiting coordinators, sourcing specialists, or other TA/People Operations roles. You know where to find strong recruiting talent and how to assess craft, not just career narrative.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex, senior-level searches and calibrate candidates against a competency-based framework — not just pattern-matching on resume keywords.
Track record of mentoring junior team members on recruiting craft, interview technique, and stakeholder management.
Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to advise, push back on, and build trust with hiring managers across levels — including TA leaders who know the function as well as you do.
A data-informed mindset: you track pipeline metrics, use conversion data to diagnose search health, and can present market intelligence to influence decisions.
Ability to operate with a high sense of urgency and bias for action while maintaining quality and candidate experience.
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to build rapport with candidates who are themselves expert communicators and relationship-builders.
Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
