📋 Description

• Build targeted sourcing strategies for technical, operational, and business roles, with an emphasis on finding talent in specialized and competitive markets. • Conduct deep, thoughtful candidate screens that uncover capabilities, working style, problem-solving approach, and potential contributions beyond what is written in a résumé. • Map talent markets for priority roles and identify patterns that influence hiring strategy, candidate fit, and the sequencing of future hires. • Partner with hiring managers to define the intersection of business needs and human capacity — translating priorities into clear competency profiles and aligned evaluation criteria. • Create candidate pipelines that anticipate upcoming needs across engineering, robotics/automation, deployment, field service, operations, and GTM functions. • Maintain active, ongoing relationships with high-potential candidates and surfacing them as the business evolves. • Guide interview teams to assess what truly matters for the role and to differentiate between skill, potential, and fit-for-stage. • Ensure candidates experience a clear, transparent process with strong communication and well-structured coordination at each step. • Represent Formic authentically, with a clear understanding of how culture, mission, and expectations should be communicated to prospective hires.

🎯 Requirements

• 3–7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a demonstrated strength in sourcing and engaging passive, high-caliber talent. • Experience recruiting in a startup or high-growth environment, with a demonstrable understanding of what this entails: • Navigating shifting priorities, evolving role scopes, and imperfect information. • Working closely with lean teams where each hire directly affects execution capacity. • Crafting talent strategies without relying on large-company resources, brand awareness, or established pipelines. • Making judgment calls on candidates’ adaptability, learning velocity, and ability to take ownership. • Recognizing when a candidate can excel in ambiguity, wear multiple hats, and scale with the team. • Ability to connect business needs with human capacity — translating team objectives and operational requirements into precise hiring criteria. • Experience conducting in-depth, critical candidate screens that uncover not just technical ability but thought process, motivations, decision-making patterns, and long-term potential. • Proven capability to build targeted sourcing strategies for both technical and non-technical roles, including talent mapping and outreach to specialized or hard-to-reach candidate pools. • Strength in advising hiring managers on candidate quality, tradeoffs, team fit, and role calibration based on real-time market insights. • Ability to assess candidates for both immediate impact and growth potential within a scaling organization. • Excellent communication skills — able to set clear expectations, synthesize insights, and maintain alignment across stakeholders. • Expertise with Applicant tracking systems (e.g. Ashby, Lever, Gem, etc.; we use Greenhouse), LinkedIn Recruiter, CRM, Google Suite, and other recruiting and workflow automation tools. • For candidates located in the greater Chicago, San Francisco, or Los Angeles areas: willing & able to work in-person as needed when it meaningfully supports collaboration with the team
