Recruiter, Data Center Infrastructure at OpenAI · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We’re looking for a Recruiter to join our Data Center Infrastructure recruiting team. You’ll own searches from intake through offer and start, partnering closely with hiring managers, recruiters, and sourcers across sites and regions. Your portfolio will span specialized technical searches and recurring site-based hiring. You might open an electrical design search, build a local pipeline for construction managers, and close a commissioning lead ahead of a site handover.
Build relationships with hiring managers before searches open to understand site milestones and anticipate hiring needs.
Lead search intake, align on what each hire needs to deliver, and calibrate candidate profiles and interview criteria with the hiring team.
Develop and execute sourcing strategies with sourcers and through direct outreach. Map local contractors and project owners for site-based roles and search across regions for specialized talent.
Manage multiple searches across sites and reset priorities with hiring managers as build schedules shift. Coordinate interviewer coverage and keep candidates informed.
Use pipeline data and candidate feedback to identify bottlenecks, test sourcing assumptions, and keep interviews and debriefs moving.
Keep leaders informed about which hires and start dates are on track and where they need to make a decision.
Own the candidate relationship from first outreach through start. Set clear expectations about the work and any site, travel, or relocation requirements.
Lead closing conversations, bring in the right leaders to answer candidate questions, and coordinate offer approvals and start dates.
You might thrive in this role if you have:
Full-cycle recruiting experience for technical or operational teams, with a track record of supporting multiple hiring managers and balancing specialist searches with recurring hiring across sites.
The ability to build trust with hiring managers who work differently, challenge assumptions with market evidence, and bring stakeholders to a decision when priorities compete.
