Hiring Partner

About the Role

As a Hiring Partner, you’ll support full lifecycle recruiting across a variety of technical and nontechnical functions, including R&D, Product, Go-to-Market, G&A, and Professional Services.

You’ll help hiring teams move searches forward, develop and engage talent pipelines, maintain reliable recruiting operations, and create a responsive and inclusive experience for every candidate.

You’ll also support onboarding and orientation activities so that the experience we create during recruiting continues after a candidate becomes a SimSpacer.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can manage multiple searches, maintain strong communication, and move work forward independently while remaining closely connected to the broader team.

As a Hiring Partner, You’ll:

• Support full lifecycle recruiting activities
• Partner with hiring managers and interview teams on search strategy, process execution, and candidate experience
• Source and engage active and passive candidates through LinkedIn, talent platforms, referrals, networking, and targeted outreach
• Build and maintain talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs
• Create thoughtful candidate outreach and employer brand content that strengthens engagement
• Deliver a responsive, inclusive, and high-quality candidate experience throughout the hiring process
• Support equitable, structured, and consistent hiring practices across the organization
• Maintain accurate recruiting data, workflows, documentation, and candidate records
• Help coordinate onboarding and orientation activities so new hires feel informed, welcomed, and prepared
• Collaborate across Hiring & Internal Mobility, People Operations, hiring teams, and business leadership
• Identify practical opportunities to improve recruiting processes, workflows, and communication

What Success Looks Like

You’ll be successful in this role when you are:

• Delivering a strong candidate and hiring manager experience across multiple concurrent searches
• Building organized, proactive talent pipelines that improve hiring responsiveness
• Maintaining clear communication, reliable follow-through, and consistent recruiting operations
• Managing competing priorities without losing attention to detail
• Keeping candidate and hiring data accurate and up to date
• Contributing ideas and process improvements that strengthen the hiring function
• Helping new hires feel connected to SimSpace before and during onboarding
• Building trusted relationships with candidates, hiring teams, and cross-functional partners

You’ll Be a Great Fit If:

🤝 You are relationship-oriented. You genuinely enjoy helping people explore career opportunities and making important decisions with confidence.

⚙️ You value operational excellence. You care about clean processes, accurate data, clear documentation, and reliable execution.

📣 You communicate with care. You keep candidates and stakeholders informed and adapt your communication to different audiences.

🔍 You are naturally curious. You ask thoughtful questions, seek context, and enjoy learning about new roles, teams, and technologies.

💡 You look for better ways to work. You notice opportunities to improve workflows, communication, and candidate experiences.

You Might Not Be a Great Fit If:

• You prefer working on only one or two searches at a time and find frequent context switching difficult
• You rely on others to closely direct or prioritize your daily work
• You view recruiting primarily as scheduling and moving candidates through stages
• You are uncomfortable sourcing and engaging passive candidates
• You prefer established processes and are hesitant to test new approaches
• You do not enjoy maintaining accurate recruiting data and documentation
• You are looking for a people-management role rather than a hands-on individual contributor position
• You prefer predictable priorities over a fast-moving environment where business needs may evolve

• Experience supporting full lifecycle recruiting across multiple teams or business functions
