Staff Technical Recruiter

As a Staff Technical Recruiter at Overstory, you'll build the team that brings our mission to life. Every hire you make directly shapes the ability to execute on our goals in our growing and scaling company. This is a hands-on role with great strategic impact. You'll balance delivering excellent day-to-day recruiting operations with shipping new features that make us ready to scale.

You’ll own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles, partnering closely with hiring managers and leadership from the earliest stages of role definition through sourcing, interviewing, and closing offers. Sometimes you’ll own other roles, e.g. product or go-to-market, depending on business needs. With every role you hire for, you champion our values and attract mission-driven builders who are energized by hard problems and meaningful impact.

You'll join a People team of five, where everyone is senior, trusted, and empowered to drive decisions. Together with our other Technical Recruiter, you’ll build and refine the recruiting motion that helps us scale: from systems and data to brand and community. With a global team spread across 11 countries working remotely, you'll navigate local complexities with ease while keeping the overall candidate experience feeling unmistakably like Overstory. Together, we nurture a culture where everyone can be their best selves — building a workplace people love, and keeping the way we work simple, effective, and above all: human-centric.

We are responsible for creating and maintaining a culture where everyone - regardless of background - has a voice in building a sustainable future.

We act with urgency.

We recognize that change is constant, and we find joy and power in exploration.

Just as ecosystems need biodiversity to thrive, our resiliency comes from our differences.

We love the power of machines but we nurture each other as humans.

We assume the best in everyone, and we share ideas openly so that we have a positive impact.
