The Role
At Chainguard, we’re on a mission to change how the world builds and secures software, and we need a Senior Recruiter to help us grow globally. Your work will directly shape our international footprint, from building sales teams that open new markets to hiring engineers who create secure-by-default products. You’ll own searches end to end, partner closely with hiring managers and leaders, and ensure every candidate walks away with a strong impression of Chainguard. This role is about building high-performing teams that fuel our growth abroad, not just filling seats.
What You’ll Do
- Run full-cycle searches for primarily go-to-market (GTM), with flexibility to hire across the international business.
- Partner with leaders to define roles, align on hiring priorities, and set clear expectations for what “great” looks like globally.
- Build and manage pipelines that anticipate growth in international markets.
- Deliver a consistent, candidate-first experience across time zones and geographies.
- Provide insights on international talent trends, compensation, and recruiting strategies.
- Adapt and improve recruiting processes so they scale effectively across regions while staying human and flexible.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong experience recruiting primarily for GTM roles and other business roles with direct exposure to international markets.
- Proven ability to partner with senior leaders or founders on high-priority hires.
- Skilled at navigating global hiring challenges—time zones, regulations, and local market dynamics.
- Comfortable building and evolving recruiting processes to work across borders.
- A trusted advisor to hiring managers and a thoughtful, respectful partner to candidates.
- Adaptable, curious, and energized by helping a startup expand globally.
- Bonus if you’re excited about open source, security, or finding great talent in unconventional places.
