Senior Technical Recruiter - Honeycomb

What We're Building

Honeycomb is a service for the near and present future, defining observability and raising expectations of what developer tools can do! We're working with well-known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, and Vanguard across a range of industries. This is an exciting time in our trajectory: we've closed Series D funding, scaled past the 200-person mark, and were named to Forbes' America's Best Startups of 2022 and 2023!

Who We Are

We come for the impact, and stay for the culture! We're a talented, opinionated, passionate, fiercely inclusive, and responsible group of bees. We have conviction and we strive to live our values every day. We want our people to do what they truly love amongst a team of highly talented (but humble) peers.

How We Work

We are a fully distributed company, which means we believe it is not where you sit, but how you deliver that matters most. We invest in our people and care about how you orient to our culture and processes. At the same time, we imbue a lot of trust, autonomy, and accountability from Day 1.

About the Role

Talent Acquisition at Honeycomb builds the teams behind our observability platform. As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you'll run a full desk of priority R&D searches and act as the talent advisor Hiring Managers call before they open a req, not after. You'll report to the Head of TA, partner directly with R&D leadership, and own how hiring gets done on your desk from intake to accepted offer.

What You'll Do

• Own full-cycle searches for R&D and technical-focused roles from intake to offer acceptance, delivering diverse, well-vetted slates on target timelines.
• Manage a full desk of priority reqs, keeping candidates moving within hiring SLAs and maintaining clean Greenhouse data.
• Advise Hiring Managers on search strategy and leveling using market data, pipeline analytics, and compensation benchmarks.
• Build lasting advisory relationships with Business Unit leaders, aligning stakeholders on a shared plan and guiding debate to a decision.
• Partner with the Head of TA to turn approved headcount into recruiting plans and flag risks early with proposed fixes.
• Implement competency-based hiring processes by building Greenhouse scorecards, running interviewer kick-offs, and facilitating structured debriefs.
• Use DEI sourcing tactics that broaden representation and improve quality of hire.
• Analyze funnel metrics in Greenhouse and Gem to continuously improve processes.

What You'll Bring

• Full-cycle recruiting experience in high-growth tech, with a track record of filling senior engineering IC and first-line manager roles.
• Experience running a full desk of concurrent reqs while holding to clear SLAs and quality standards.
• A history of acting as a talent advisor, turning funnel and compensation data into recommendations that changed hiring decisions.
• Hands-on experience with structured interviewing and ATS tools (scorecards, reporting, scheduling).
• Measurable results from DEI sourcing and fair-assessment practices.
• Crisp written updates and experience facilitating kick-offs, debriefs, and pipeline reviews.
• Comfort having direct, kind conversations with Hiring Managers about candidates, leveling, and process.
