About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Manager of Recruiting in Austin, TX to lead and grow our talent acquisition function. You'll own the end-to-end recruiting strategy for the company, manage a small team of recruiters and partner closely with hiring managers across the business to build high-performing teams. This role is equal parts hands-on recruiter and team leader — you'll be in the weeds on key searches while also developing your team and improving how we hire.

 
 

What You'll Do

  • Lead a team of 2–5 recruiters, providing coaching, feedback, and career development support

  • Own recruiting strategy across GTM, Product, Engineering, and G&A functions in partnership with department heads

  • Drive full-cycle recruiting yourself for senior and critical roles; this is a hands-on seat, not just a management role

  • Build hiring plans with department heads to translate headcount needs into clear, executable pipelines

  • Define and track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, pipeline health) and use data to continuously improve

  • Develop proactive sourcing strategies that reduce reliance on inbound and expand our talent pipelines

  • Ensure a consistent, compelling candidate experience from first touchpoint through offer

  • Manage relationships with external recruiting partners and agencies when needed

  • Contribute to employer brand initiatives and represent our culture authentically to candidates

    • What We're Looking For

  • 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 2 years in a team lead or management capacity

  • Experience recruiting across multiple functions at a SaaS or technology company

  • Proven ability to fill technical and go-to-market roles in competitive markets

  • Strong data orientation; you use pipeline metrics to drive decisions, not intuition alone

  • Excellent stakeholder management skills; you can push back on hiring managers while keeping relationships strong

  • A builder mentality: you've improved processes, built programs, or scaled a function before

  • Hands-on approach; you're comfortable leading a search yourself when the team needs it

    • Nice to Have

  • Experience at a high-growth startup (Series B–D)

  • Familiarity with compensation benchmarking and offer strategy

  • Experience implementing or optimizing an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, etc.)

    • What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months

  • Team is hitting target time-to-fill benchmarks across all open roles

  • Hiring managers trust the process and see recruiting as a strategic partner

  • Clear visibility into pipeline health and forecasted hiring capacity

  • At least one process or program improvement is live and making a measurable difference

  • The team feels supported, developed, and clear on what good looks like

    • Benefits

  • Comprehensive Healthcare: 100% coverage for medical, dental, and vision for all FTEs, with roughly 75% coverage for dependents.
  • Flexible Time Off: Flexible vacation days plus quarterly mental health days to ensure you have the space to recharge.
  • Annual Stipends: Dedicated funds for your professional development and caretaking needs.
  • Work Anniversary Bonuses: Annual bonuses to celebrate your milestones and contributions to the CaptivateIQ team that grow as your tenure does.
  • Retirement Savings (US-Only): A 401(k) plan to help you invest in and secure your future.
  • Premium Tools: The latest Apple hardware to empower you to do your best work.
  • Inclusive Community: Active Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that celebrate shared identities and support our DEI goals by fostering an environment where diverse talent thrives.
