Apollo's mission is to make world-class GTM accessible to everyone. Half a million companies use our AI GTM System to find and win their next customers, and we're still early. If you want to recruit for one of the most ambitious AI companies in the market, at a rare moment in its growth, this is it.

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: running hiring sprints, sharpening sourcing strategy, and building AI workflows the rest of the team picks up. You bring a playbook, adapt it to Apollo, and make it better.

• Own full-cycle hiring for senior and specialized R&D roles (Backend, Frontend, Fullstack, ML/AI, Data Science, Security) from intake to accepted offer
• Build intentional, multi-channel sourcing strategies that go well beyond Linked In:
  Juicebox, Claude, referrals, talent mapping of target companies
• Adapt your approach in real time based on market signals and funnel data, not just volume
• 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

• Pitch Apollo's mission, AI strategy, and engineering culture in a way that lands with engineers, data scientists, and security talent
• Treat recruiting like sales: understand motivations, manage expectations, and close
• Keep every candidate informed and respected, hire or no hire

• Own clean pipeline data in Greenhouse and Gem
• Diagnose conversion and velocity patterns across your vertical and turn them into recommendations
• Use data as the foundation for stakeholder conversations, not an afterthought

• Build repeatable AI workflows for sourcing, outreach personalization, screening prep, and pipeline reporting
• Measure their impact on speed and quality, then share what works with the team
• Critically evaluate AI outputs; you know when to trust the tool and when to override it

• Partner with People Ops and Compensation on offers, approvals, and a clean hiring-to-onboarding…
