Talent Engineer at Bobyard
About the Role
The Role
Bobyard just doubled the team and we’re doing it again.
This is a technical role inside recruiting. You'll own the systems, automations, and data pipelines that power hiring end-to-end. The goal is simple: remove manual work from the recruiting loop so the team can operate faster, with better signal, at higher volume.
You'll make deliberate build-vs-buy calls. Not everything needs a SaaS subscription — some problems are a Python script and a webhook. You know the difference, and you default toward the cheaper, more controllable solution when it's the right one.
What You'll Build
Sourcing automation: Pipelines that surface candidates before they're actively looking. Structured workflows across LinkedIn, GitHub, research corpora, and referral networks.
Screening infrastructure: LLM-assisted triage that filters for fit before a human reviews. You'll own the prompts, the evaluation logic, and the quality checks that keep signal-to-noise high.
ATS integration: Ashby as system of record. You'll wire it to sourcing tools, comms, and scheduling so candidate state updates without manual pushing.
Funnel analytics: Define the metrics that matter (time-to-fill, source quality, offer accept rate), instrument the pipeline, and report with enough honesty to actually change behavior.
Internal tooling: Dashboards and lightweight interfaces so the team has real-time visibility without living in Ashby.
Desired experience
You've scaled recruiting functions, not just supported them. Multiple roles, multiple levels, parallel pipelines — without losing quality at volume.
You wire tools into systems. ATS, sourcing, outreach, screening, scheduling — each integration removes a bottleneck, each automation compounds. The recruiting engine grows faster than the headcount running it.
New role = new workflow to instrument, not a new search to run manually.
