About the role
Thatch is changing healthcare benefits. We give companies a way to offer every employee a health budget so they can choose the plan that fits their life, while giving employers predictable, controllable costs. Making that possible means solving hard problems across healthcare, payments, and technology.
We look for people who like solving complex problems, take real ownership, and are comfortable working through ambiguity. People here have real responsibility for what gets built and care deeply about doing work that matters.
Talent is how we build the team to do it. As a Technical Recruiter, you’ll own Engineering hiring and help build the technical team behind Thatch’s next stage of growth. You’ll partner closely with leaders, build relationships with top-tier talent, and think beyond today’s open roles to keep us ahead of our hiring needs while maintaining a high hiring bar.
What you'll do
- Own full-cycle recruiting across Engineering, from proactive sourcing through close, while flexing into other priority searches as needed.
- Partner with Engineering leaders to define roles, calibrate on what great looks like, and maintain a high hiring bar as we scale.
- Build evergreen pipelines, developing relationships with great engineers well before we need them.
- Design sourcing strategies and develop new talent channels, from technical communities and referrals to university and new-grad recruiting.
- Use recruiting data and market insights to diagnose searches, spot bottlenecks, and adjust strategy.
- Improve how we hire, from interview design and calibration to candidate experience and closing.
Background we're looking for
- 4+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a track record of hiring strong engineers across levels and technical profiles.
- Deep sourcing experience, with demonstrated success building pipelines and engaging hard-to-reach technical talent.
- Strong technical fluency and the ability to understand the work, ask good questions, and credibly engage engineers.
- A track record of partnering closely with Engineering leaders, influencing search strategy, and holding a high hiring bar.
- Skilled at navigating offers and closing candidates, balancing candidate expectations, market data, and our compensation approach.
- Startup or high-growth experience, with the ability to build while executing and adapt as priorities change.
Experience we’d be particularly excited about
- Built technical talent pipelines or sourcing programs from scratch.
- Developed university, new-grad, or early-career recruiting programs.
- Recruited beyond Engineering across Product, Design, or other functions.
