Would you like to be part of a recruiting team that is responsible for fueling the rapid growth of AWS? Do you thrive in high growth ambiguous environments? Are you a process-oriented data driven leader that loves to dive deep to identify, engage, and close top technical talent with telecom industry expertise?
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Talent Acquisition team is seeking a talented, customer focused Full Lifecycle Recruiter to join our global recruiting organization. You will support AWS technical teams to manage end-to-end recruiting for product roles, from sourcing through offer acceptance and on-boarding. Success in this role requires deep understanding of SDE and PMT sourcing strategies, with ability to identify candidates with relevant backgrounds.
Successful Full Lifecycle Recruiters on this team utilize their experience in candidate identification, assessment, closing, and relationship management. They thrive in an innovative, fast-paced environment, can roll up their sleeves, work hard, and have fun to get the job done. They draw on extensive knowledge of sourcing tools, interviewing techniques, and closing strategies, building strong relationships with hiring managers and cross-functional teams.
The ideal candidate must be able to earn trust and collaborate effectively with hiring teams and stakeholders. They must be able to plan and prioritize recruiting activities across multiple teams, manage candidate pipelines from initial outreach through offer acceptance, and have demonstrated ability to use metrics to track recruiting effectiveness and show results, while remaining calm in times of high volume and ambiguity. Thriving in a growth environment and having strength in creative sourcing and effective closing will be critical to success in this role.
Key job responsibilities
• Own end-to-end recruiting, managing requisitions from intake through offer acceptance and on-boarding, leveraging telecommunications industry knowledge to identify, assess, and close qualified candidates.
• Proactively source passive tech candidates with telecom backgrounds using Boolean, LinkedIn Recruiter, and other tools to identify candidates.
• Conduct phone screens and technical assessments to evaluate candidate qualifications, compensation expectations, and skill level while setting accurate expectations on the interview process, compensation, and leveling.
• Partner with hiring managers to refine sourcing and closing strategies, providing market intelligence on telecom talent availability, competitive landscape, compensation trends, and effective engagement strategies.
• Prepare candidates for success by coaching them on behavioral interviewing techniques and close qualified candidates by negotiating offers, addressing concerns, and articulating AWS's value proposition to secure acceptances.
• Own recruiting projects that improve hiring effectiveness and metrics (pipeline activity, conversion rates, candidate experience, cycle time) by educating hiring managers on sourcing methodologies, and interviewing best practices.
• Refine recruiting processes by identifying and mitigating risks, clearing blockers (interview availability, lack of calibrated interviewers), and driving timely decisions to accelerate progress.
• Monitor external talent pipeline and trends in the telecommunications industry (competition, costs, productivity, retention) to engage hiring managers in discussions about sourcing opportunities and process improvements.
