People Culture Talent Talent Engineer at People Culture Talent owning the full recruiting cycle and client relationships for technical roles. Uses AI tools and innovative sourcing strategies to find and close exceptional candidates.
Responsibilities
We're looking for a Talent Engineer — a senior, principal level individual contributor who owns the entire recruiting cycle and client relationship: strategy, execution, and everything in between.
You're not a sourcer who occasionally gets client-facing, and you're not a recruiter who hands off the hard problems. You're the person a founder trusts to design the hiring plan, write the job description that attracts the right person, provides strong judgement and education to run a real process, and then go find and close the right candidates.
This role exists for someone who thinks like an operator. You're equally comfortable in a strategy conversation with a CTO but also building innovative sourcing lists late at night because you’ve uncovered a unique angle. You build and use AI tools, not as a novelty but as leverage, so you can move faster and smarter than recruiters running a manual process.
Note: This role is fully remote, but will require on average 4-5 hours of overlap a day within the 9-6pm PT timezone due to client, team, and candidate overlap.
Client Partnership & Strategy
Take full ownership of the client relationship from start to finish — you are the face of PCT for your accounts, not just a name on a status update.
Collaborate with founders and leaders to design hiring plans, moving beyond simply following their instructions (we are strategic partners, not task takers).
Guide founders and first-time hiring managers on building a high-signal interview process, and coach interview teams to execute it effectively.
Provide market intelligence and competitive context to every client conversation - comp, talent availability, hiring trends
Search Execution
Run full-cycle searches across Engineering and adjacent technical functions (Product, Design, Data, Security) — sourcing, screening, and closing
Source and identify hard-to-find technical talent using Ashby, Gem, Juicebox, Pin, and other AI-native tools — the finding is still yours, not something you hand off
