Role summary

Giga Energy is seeking a strategic Recruiter to own the full recruiting lifecycle for critical roles in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. This role requires proactive sourcing, engaging passive candidates, and delivering top-tier talent. Responsibilities include partnering with hiring managers, designing interview processes, assessing candidates for exceptional qualities, and utilizing recruiting data to optimize processes. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with demonstrated success in hiring for manufacturing and supply chain roles, and closing senior or niche positions. Expertise in sourcing, talent assessment, stakeholder management, and recruiting analytics is essential. Proficiency with ATS (Greenhouse, Lever) and LinkedIn Recruiter is required. Preferred experience includes startup environments, agency and in-house backgrounds, and building hiring frameworks.

Why join Giga

The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.

The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.

The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.

The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

What You'll Do

We don't hire to fill seats — we hire to raise the bar. As a Recruiter at Giga, you'll be a strategic partner to hiring leaders, owning the full recruiting lifecycle for a portfolio of critical roles across the business. You'll be expected to move with urgency, source proactively, and consistently deliver the top 5% of available talent — not just whoever is actively looking. This isn't a reactive, inbound-only role. You'll build pipelines before the need is urgent, engage passive candidates who aren't on the job boards, and bring a point of view to every search you run. If you're the type of recruiter who treats a hard search as a puzzle to solve rather than a problem to escalate, you'll thrive here.

Where You'll Work

We are an in-office culture — velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is ideally based in our San Francisco, Long Beach, or Houston offices, with full-time onsite expectations outside of bi-weekly WFH Fridays.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent if you live outside one of our hubs. If you're the right person for this role, we'll have a conversation about what works.

Responsibilities

Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of roles — from intake through offer acceptance — operating with speed and rigor at every stage

Partner directly with hiring managers and senior leaders to define the talent profile, advise on market realities, and build a strategy for each search

Proactively source and engage passive candidates through Boolean search, LinkedIn Recruiter, talent mapping, referral networks, and creative direct outreach

Design and facilitate structured interview processes that assess for both technical capability and performance potential — not just culture fit on paper

Demonstrate a sharp, trained eye for what separates truly exceptional talent from candidates who simply interview well — evaluating trajectory, ownership mentality, the quality of their thinking, and the impact they've driven relative to their peers

Build and maintain warm pipelines for recurring and critical roles so no search ever starts from zero

Use recruiting data (pipeline health, funnel conversion, time-to-fill, source mix) to identify bottlenecks and continuously sharpen your process

Challenge hiring criteria when job requirements are misaligned with the market — and back your recommendation with data

Deliver a candidate experience that makes even declined candidates advocates for Giga

Requirements

3-5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a high-growth, fast-paced, or agency environment

Experience hiring for manufacturing and supply chain

Demonstrated track record of closing senior, niche, or highly competitive roles — not solely high-volume pipelines

Experience partnering with and influencing VP-level and above stakeholders

Expert-level sourcing skills — you build targeted candidate lists from scratch and write outreach that passive candidates actually respond to

Strong talent assessment judgment — you can identify what makes someone genuinely exceptional: a pattern of outsized impact, intellectual curiosity, high ownership, and the ability to operate above their level; and you can distinguish that from candidates who are polished but plateau

Proficiency with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, or equivalent) and LinkedIn Recruiter

Ability to track, analyze, and present recruiting metrics to drive decisions and stakeholder alignment

Bonus Points

Experience hiring in a startup environment

Background in both agency and in-house recruiting environments

Experience building or improving interview scorecards and structured hiring frameworks

Who we hire

We hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
