What you'll do
Lead a team of recruiters covering non-quota-carrying and R&D hiring across: EMEA — including Engineering, R&D, Sales Engineering, and G&A/Marketing/Corp — holding a clear, well-calibrated bar for talent across the team.
Coach and develop recruiters, helping them grow from strong execution into: independent ownership: planning searches, driving reqs to close, and holding stakeholder trust
Own the recruiting relationship with Director + engineering and business: stakeholders across EMEA, building deep enough business and technical context to be a credible, consultative partner rather than an order-taker.
Combine strategic partnership with senior stakeholders and direct hands-on: execution on the most complex or specialist searches.
Bring data-driven rigor to diagnosing and fixing recruiting problems: read funnel data, spot contradictions, identify what's broken, and build a practical plan with clear leading and lagging indicators.
Improve signal-to-noise at every stage of the process: sharper role definition, stronger screens, and more consistent interview evaluation and calibration with hiring managers.
What they're looking for
- Design a research-centric approach to hiring across EMEA: talent mapping, deliberate outreach, and long-term relationship building, adapted to the specific dynamics of European talent markets.
- Partner with People Partners and business leaders to learn from great hires: and mis-hires, then update profiles, assessment, and closing approaches based on what's learned.
- Model Samsara's values: embed inclusivity, long-term vision, and teamwork into all aspects of hiring and leadership.
- Expert experience in full-cycle recruiting, with credible depth in senior software engineering hiring.
