Who you are

  • You've recruited at scale across technical disciplines — software engineering, infrastructure, product, data, or research roles. You understand the nuances between technical specialties and can speak credibly to them
  • You've navigated nuanced leveling conversations, complex compensation structures, and competing offers from the best companies in the world — and you've won. You're equally comfortable running a high-volume req load and going deep on a single critical hire
  • Now, bring that expertise to Salesforce, your pipeline and your craft will directly shape the teams building the most impactful products in the world
  • 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with demonstrated success managing both high-volume pipelines and complex, specialized searches
  • Deep experience at a top-tier tech company — where the talent bar is exceptionally high and the competition is fierce
  • Proven ability to recruit across a range of technical roles and disciplines
  • Strong fluency in technical concepts — enough to hold credible conversations with candidates and hiring managers about the work they'll be doing
  • Track record of building proactive talent pipelines in highly competitive, hard-to-fill talent pools, alongside experience efficiently running high req-volume
  • Experience navigating complex compensation conversations, including base, equity (RSU), sign-on, and competing offer dynamics
  • Consultative, data-informed approach to recruiting — you bring market data, competitive intelligence, and candidate insights to every hiring manager interaction
  • Strong communicator and relationship builder who earns trust quickly with both candidates and senior technical leaders
  • Experience recruiting for emerging or specialized technical domains (e.g., AI/ML, infrastructure, security)
  • Familiarity with technical academic pipelines and graduate recruiting from top universities
  • Background working within large, matrixed organizations where recruiting requires influencing without authority

What the job involves

  • Salesforce is building the AI-powered future of enterprise software — and we need a world-class recruiter to help us win the most competitive talent market in the industry

  • Own full-cycle recruiting across a mix of high-volume and specialized technical roles across Salesforce's engineering, product, and technology organizations
  • Partner deeply with senior engineering and technical leaders to shape hiring strategy, define ideal candidate profiles, and influence how we compete for elite technical talent
  • Build and maintain high-quality talent pipelines — proactively mapping the market and engaging passive talent before requisitions open, while efficiently managing volume across multiple open roles
  • Lead complex offer negotiations, including sign-on and equity exception packages, with a clear understanding of competitive compensation benchmarks across top tech companies
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers — pushing back, advising on tradeoffs, and bringing market intelligence that sharpens decision-making
  • Collaborate with sourcing partners, recruiting coordinators, and peer advisors to run an efficient, high-touch candidate experience at scale
  • Contribute to team-level recruiting strategy, pipeline health reviews, and competitive talent intelligence initiatives
