Recruiting Operations, Performance & Forecast Ownership

Lead and scale the recruiting function with a sales-operator mindset, setting clear monthly and quarterly hiring targets aligned to headcount plans and business priorities.

Manage recruiting performance like a revenue organization, using ramp expectations, activity targets, and pipeline coverage ratios to drive predictable hiring outcomes.

Establish and maintain data-driven management systems that monitor pipeline health, diagnose breakdowns, and trigger tactical interventions to improve velocity, conversion, and quality.
