POSITION SUMMARY  

We’re hiring a recruiter of the future. You’ll be our Lead Recruiter, owning full-cycle hiring across teams and geographies, while designing and implementing AI-powered recruiting systems that amplify your impact and multiply your output. This is a hybrid-role based in Los Angeles, with an expectation to be in office at least one day per week for onsite interviews.

You’re as comfortable closing an engineering lead as you are automating a sourcing workflow. You roll up your sleeves to fill roles, but you never stop looking for ways to rebuild, rethink, and retool recruiting for maximum efficiency and quality. 

This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a strategic impact without giving up the thrill of hands-on recruiting.


ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES   
  • Hybrid role based in our Los Angeles office, expectation to be in office at least one day per week.
  • Own and execute full-cycle recruiting for technical and business roles (from sourcing to closing) across all departments.
  • Design and deploy AI tools (e.g., sourcing automation, screening bots, scheduling tools, GPT-assisted JD creation and candidate communications) that enable scale without sacrificing quality.
  • Lead strategic intake meetings and advise hiring managers on role design, market trends, and interview structure.
  • Champion structured, bias-free assessments and facilitate training on consistent hiring practices across teams.
  • Build and nurture talent pipelines with an emphasis on self-sourced candidates.
  • Drive offer negotiation and candidate close with high EQ and strong business acumen.
  • Create and manage real-time recruiting dashboards to track time-to-fill, funnel conversion, quality-of-hire, and hiring manager satisfaction.
  • Constantly optimize systems, process, and tech stack to automate low-leverage work and free yourself up to focus on what matters—relationships and results.

EXPERIENCE   
  • 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with recent experience in high-growth tech or startup environments.
  • 2+ years in a senior, lead, or strategic recruiting role with proven success owning hiring plans across multiple departments or geographies.
  • Ability to handle high volume of reqs concurrently.
  • Strong execution track record hiring for technical (Engineering, Product, Data) and business (GTM, Ops, People) roles.
  • Experience operating in lean teams where automation and efficiency were essential to scale.
  • Proficient in leveraging recruiting platforms and tools (e.g., Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, SeekOut); familiarity with AI-forward platform and ChatGPT-enhanced workflows.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence executives, guide hiring managers, and close high-caliber talent in competitive markets.
  • History of embedding inclusive hiring practices that improve representation and reduce bias across the funnel.

KNOWLEDGE  
  • In-depth understanding of recruitment strategy, legal compliance, and equitable process design across global markets.
  • Ability to connect recruiting outcomes to business impact—workforce planning, organizational health, and performance metrics.
  • Skilled in evaluating and optimizing recruiting tech stacks to reduce manual work and improve quality-of-hire.
  • Data-literate and fluent in funnel metrics; uses dashboards to drive clarity, decision-making, and accountability.
  • Technologically curious—able to test and implement AI tools that automate sourcing, scheduling, or candidate engagement.
  • Confident in facilitating training sessions, hiring manager enablement, and company-wide communications around talent strategy.

DESIRED BEHAVIORS  
  • Future-focused—you stay ahead of where recruiting is going and love experimenting with tools that give you leverage.
  • Obsessed with productivity—you automate ruthlessly, prioritize intelligently, and protect your time for high-impact work.
    Operate with ownership, transparency, and urgency. You move quickly but never cut corners.
  • Build trust fast—with candidates, hiring managers, and execs—through candor, clarity, and care.
  • Invest in team growth—sharing tools, building playbooks, and upleveling hiring partners across the org.
  • Balance confidence with humility—you ask smart questions, take feedback well, and stay coachable even as a subject matter expert.
    Embody our company values and create a candidate experience that reflects our culture from first touch to final close.

COMPENSATION 

This role will receive a competitive base salary + annual bonus + benefits + equity. A variety of factors are considered when determining someone’s compensation–including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location. Final offer amounts may vary from the amounts listed below.

The pay range for this role is $140,000 - $155,000 USD per year.

Company History & Product:

UpKeep started in a garage, where our founder Ryan taught himself to code and built the first mobile-first maintenance app. The idea was simple but powerful: put modern software in the hands of frontline technicians—and transform how maintenance gets done.

Today, UpKeep is the leading cloud-native Asset Operations Management platform, serving over 4,000 businesses worldwide across manufacturing, utilities, healthcare, and beyond. Our Industrial IoT and AI-first software helps maintenance and facilities teams streamline work, predict failures, and act faster—with real-time insights and automation at their fingertips.

We’re building for the deskless workforce—the essential workers who keep our physical world running—and arming them with the tools they deserve.  In a world re-shoring manufacturing, accelerating automation, and embracing AI at scale, we’re riding the next macro wave—and leading the transformation of legacy maintenance into intelligent operations.

Backed by $50 million from Insight Partners, Emergence Capital, Mucker, and Y Combinator, we're not just building software.  We're defining a new category for the built world.
