We're hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to own hiring for complex, high-priority roles across Apollo's R&D org: Engineering, Data Science, and Security.
You'll report to our Manager of Talent Acquisition and partner directly with engineering leaders.
This isn't a req-execution seat; you'll deliver strong results on your own searches and improve how hiring works around you.

Calibrate pipelines with hiring managers early so the first slate lands
Act as a trusted advisor to Engineering and Data leaders on role scope, leveling, and market reality
Run sharp intakes: success profiles, scorecards, and interview plans aligned before sourcing starts
Push back with data when expectations and the market don't match, and handle tough conversations independently

Own clean pipeline data in Greenhouse and Gem
Build repeatable AI workflows for sourcing, outreach personalization, screening prep, and pipeline reporting
