Calibrate with founders and hiring managers deeply technical and complex searches.
Help maintain a standard of operational recruiting excellence as we grow the talent team from the ground up.
Have 2+ years of experience as a sourcer, ideally at a fast-moving startup or tech company
Have a sharp eye for talent: you find candidates others miss, and you create pipeline in unique ways
Are obsessively organized and take pride in running a tight, candidate-friendly process
Communicate clearly and warmly: candidates feel cared for, not processed
Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities without losing track of the details
Learn tools quickly and are comfortable in Ashby or a comparable ATS
Have sourced in robotics, deep tech, or hardware (a plus, not required).
We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive team. At Watney Robotics, we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities, and we make hiring decisions based on skills, experience, and potential. If you’re passionate about robotics but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply!
