Higher Group

Savvy Admin PROD

We're partnering with a boutique search firm that is scaling aggressively throughout 2026, with plans to grow headcount by 35% this year alone.

Founded by a top-performing Director from a globally recognised search business, the firm has built a reputation as a trusted talent partner to some of the most exciting VC-backed technology companies in the market.

Their focus spans AI, C++ Engineering and Software Engineering, working exclusively with venture-backed businesses ranging from high-growth startups to category-defining scale-ups.

This is an opportunity for an ambitious recruiter to join a business where quality, autonomy and earning potential genuinely come first.

Unlike larger recruitment firms where consultants can often feel like a number, you'll join a highly profitable, low-ego environment where performance is rewarded properly. You'll work directly alongside the founder and multiple consultants billing $700k+ annually, gaining daily exposure to the strategies, client relationships and execution standards that drive elite performance.

The business has intentionally remained lean, meaning every hire has a genuine opportunity to make an impact, build a significant desk and benefit from the firm's continued growth. If you've ever felt constrained by commission caps, excessive KPIs, unnecessary management layers or a lack of access to decision-makers, this is the opposite environment.

**Why Join? **

- Base salary up to $120,000

- Market-leading commission structure paying up to 60%

- Average consultant earnings exceeding $250,000 annually

- Top performers earning $350,000+ per year

- Fully remote working – work from anywhere

- Direct mentorship from the founder and multiple $700k+ billers

- Zero employee turnover in the last 24 months

- Mature, autonomous culture focused on outcomes rather than activity metrics

- Exclusive access to VC-backed clients operating at the forefront of AI and software innovation

- Opportunity to build a genuine market presence within one of the fastest-growing sectors in recruitment

**What We're Looking For: **

To be considered, you must have a proven track record recruiting within either:

- C++ Engineering

- Software Engineering

- AI / Machine Learning Engineering

We're looking for recruiters who already understand technical hiring environments, can credibly engage with engineering leaders and candidates, and have demonstrated success building relationships within these markets.

The ideal person is commercially driven, naturally curious, highly accountable and motivated by both financial success and professional growth. Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to learn from elite performers while building something meaningful within a business that is entering its next phase of growth.

If you're producing strong numbers today but feel your current platform is limiting your earnings, progression or autonomy, this could be one of the most compelling opportunities in the market.

We raised $150M in Series D funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Bain Capital Ventures, bringing our total funding to $254M. We were named to the Forbes 2025 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world.

We're growing fast and hiring the talent team to match.

**The Role: **

We're hiring a Talent Operations Manager to build and lead the operational engine behind how MaintainX hires. This is a people management role: you'll lead a team of recruiting coordinators, sourcers, and specialists while owning the systems, processes, and data infrastructure that powers 400+ hires per year.

You'll report to the VP of Talent and partner closely with Talent Partners, People Ops, Engineering, and Finance. This isn't a support function. You're building the operating system for a $2.5B company's talent machine.

**What you’ll do: **

**People Leadership ** ~~The most important part of this role you're building a team, not just systems. ~~

- Lead 4–5 direct reports (recruiting coordinators, sourcers, ops specialists) across EPD, GTM, and G&A, growing with the company

- Set clear expectations, run 1:1s, deliver direct feedback, and build development plans for every team member

- Elevate the team beyond scheduling into true ops: data analysis, process optimization, systems ownership, and candidate experience

- Own hiring and performance management who to hire, develop, or move on

- Build career paths that retain strong coordinators and sourcers within MaintainX

- Foster a culture of speed, accuracy, and candidate obsession

**Talent Operations Strategy & Execution **

- Own the ATS (Ashby, migrating from Greenhouse in April 2026) workflows, automations, approval chains, and reporting

- Build real-time analytics dashboards for pipeline health, funnel conversion, time-in-stage, and capacity

- Drive process discipline: 48-hr stage movement, 24-hr interview feedback, structured debriefs define the standards and enforce them

- Partner with Finance on headcount planning, forecasting, and capacity modeling

- Identify and eliminate manual steps through automation; ensure data integrity and compliance across all systems

**Tools & Systems Ownership **

- **Ashby: ** Own configuration, workflows, reporting, integrations, and team adoption

- **Assessment tools: ** Partner with engineering on HackerRank/CodeSignal integration into Ashby

- **Sourcing stack: ** Manage Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, and emerging AI tools; drive adoption and measure ROI

- **Interview intelligence: ** Evaluate and roll out Brighthire for recording and notetaking

- **Cross-functional: ** Ensure talent systems integrate with IT, Security, and People Ops; maintain compliance

**About You: **

- 5+ years in talent operations or recruiting operations, with at least 2 years managing a team of coordinators, sourcers, or specialists.

- You've built or significantly improved talent operations at a high-growth tech company (Series C+ or 200+ employees).

- Deep expertise with a modern ATS. Ashby experience is a strong plus. Greenhouse migration experience is relevant.

- Comfortable with data: you build dashboards, define KPIs, and use metrics to drive decisions, not just report on them.

- You've managed recruiting coordinators before and know how to develop them into strong operations professionals.

- You move fast, communicate directly, and don't wait for permission to fix something that's broken.

- Builder mindset: you'd rather create something from scratch than tweak something that doesn't work.

**Even Better if You: **

- Experience with Ashby specifically, including workflow automation, custom reports, and API integrations.

- Familiarity with capacity modeling and recruiter workload analysis.

- You've led an ATS migration end-to-end (scoping, data migration, template rebuild, training, adoption tracking).

- Experience with technical assessment tools (CodeSignal, HackerRank) and their ATS integrations.

- SQL or BI tool experience for building custom analytics beyond what the ATS provides.

**What’s in it for you: **

- Competitive salary and meaningful equity opportunities.

- Healthcare, dental, and vision coverage.

- 401(k) / RRSP enrollment program.

- Take what you need PTO.

- A Work Culture where:

- You’ll work alongside folks across the globe that reflect the MaintainX values, Smart Humble Optimist.

- We believe in meritocracy, where ideas and effort are publicly celebrated.

**About us: **

Our mission is to deliver one platform for maintenance, repair & operations teams to keep the physical world running. We believe the greatest asset in any organization is the people. That’s why we built an intuitive, mobile-first solution to help boost productivity and collaboration across teams and locations.

MaintainX is committed to creating a diverse environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

University Talent Partner

Building the largest UAV swarm on the planet.

Industry: Aviation and Aerospace Component Manufacturing
Company Size: 11-50 employees

Swarm Aero

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.

The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.

We are hiring a Technical Sourcer to build and drive the top-of-funnel pipeline for our software engineering and product hiring lanes. You will work directly with our Technical Recruiter as a dedicated sourcing partner, owning candidate identification, outreach, and initial qualification so the recruiting team can stay focused on process and close.

This is a high-output, high-craft role. You are not managing reqs or running full-cycle. You are the person who finds candidates nobody else finds, writes outreach nobody else would write, and builds pipelines that hold up under pressure.

This is a fully remote position with occasional travel to our headquarters in Oxnard,CA

What You Will Own

Pipeline Development

-  Build and maintain active candidate pipelines for software engineering roles across autonomy, full-stack, embedded, and forward-deployed disciplines

-  Source product management and product design candidates with backgrounds in C2, mission software, robotics, or defense-adjacent hardware-software products

-  Develop Boolean search strings, LinkedIn Recruiter projects, GitHub profiles, conference speaker lists, and other non-obvious sourcing surfaces to reach passive candidates

-  Identify talent clusters within defense primes, national labs, aerospace companies, robotics startups, and hyperscalers with relevant systems depth

Outreach and Engagement

-  Write and send personalized outreach that reflects Swarm Aero's mission and the specificity of the role, not templated copy-paste

-  Own A/B testing of messaging, subject lines, and outreach sequences to continuously improve response rates

-  Conduct initial screens to assess interest, eligibility, and basic technical fit before passing candidates to the Technical Recruiter

-  Maintain accurate and timely candidate records in Ashby, including outreach history, response rates, and disposition notes

Sourcing Intelligence

-  Track and report on pipeline metrics weekly: contacts made, response rates, screens completed, and candidates advanced

-  Surface market intelligence on talent availability, compensation expectations, and competitive movement in the defense tech and autonomy software space

-  Contribute to target company lists, sourcing playbooks, and Boolean string libraries for use across the TA team

What We Are Looking For

**Required**

-  3+ years of technical sourcing experience, with demonstrated success building passive candidate pipelines for software engineering roles

-  Deep fluency with LinkedIn Recruiter and at least one additional sourcing surface (GitHub, X/Twitter, conference databases, niche communities)

-  Strong Boolean search skills and the ability to construct targeted searches for roles with narrow technical profiles

-  Excellent written communication; your outreach messages are specific, brief, and worth responding to

-  High attention to detail in ATS hygiene and pipeline tracking

-  Self-directed and comfortable operating with minimal oversight in a fast-moving environment

**Strongly Preferred**

-  Experience sourcing for defense tech, aerospace, robotics, or dual-use software companies

-  Familiarity with sourcing engineers who hold or could obtain security clearances

-  Experience sourcing product managers or designers in technically complex environments

-  Prior use of Ashby ATS

-  Demonstrated ability to build sourcing playbooks or target company lists from scratch

How This Role Fits the Team

You will report to the Head of Talent Acquisition and work day-to-day alongside the Technical Recruiter. The expectation is tight coordination: shared pipeline visibility, regular sourcing syncs, and a feedback loop that makes both of you sharper over time. This is a true partnership, not a handoff queue.

As Swarm Aero scales, this role has a clear path toward full-cycle ownership for the right person.

**What We Offer**

- Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company

- Competitive base salary commensurate with experience

- Medical, dental, vision, and 401k

- PTO and paid sick leave

- Monthly wellness stipend

- Daily catered lunch (office)

- Paid parental leave

- Direct impact on a critical national security mission

- A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
