## Job description

StubHub is on a mission to redefine the live event experience on a global scale. Whether someone is looking to attend their first event or their hundredth, we’re here to delight them all the way from the moment they start looking for a ticket until they step through the gate. The same goes for our sellers. From fans selling a single ticket to the promoters of a worldwide stadium tour, we want StubHub to be the safest, most convenient way to offer a ticket to the millions of fans who browse our platform around the world.

At StubHub, we help fans connect with live experiences. Our Talent team hires the people who make that possible, and continually improves how we find, engage, and hire exceptional talent.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Recruiter who takes ownership quickly, brings structure to ambiguity, and drives searches forward independently. You’ll own full-cycle recruiting across technical and business functions, moving between teams as hiring priorities evolve. Hiring leaders will look to you for informed recommendations, strong execution, and an honest view of what it will take to make the right hire.

A strong technical recruiting foundation is especially valuable here. You don’t need to have recruited for every function, but you should know how to learn a new discipline, ask the right questions, and build a credible search strategy. You’ll have teammates to collaborate with and learn from, along with the autonomy and accountability to lead your work.

AI is an essential part of how we operate. We expect you to use it thoughtfully, challenge its output, and help build repeatable workflows that improve recruiting quality and efficiency. Your impact will come from both the hires you deliver and the improvements you bring to how our team works.

Location: Hybrid (3 days in office/2 days remote) – New York, NY

## What You'll Do

- Own searches from intake through close. Independently manage a portfolio of roles across technical and business teams. Establish priorities, build search plans, anticipate obstacles, and keep hiring moving without waiting for direction.
- Turn business needs into clear hiring criteria. Lead intake and calibration conversations that clarify what the person needs to accomplish, which capabilities matter, and where the team can be flexible. Translate those decisions into targeted sourcing and effective interview plans.
- Build pipelines proactively. Combine direct sourcing, market mapping, referrals, and AI-assisted research to engage qualified candidates. Assess pipeline quality early and adjust your approach when results fall short.
- Become effective in unfamiliar disciplines. Learn the business context, talent market, and candidate motivations behind each search. Build enough fluency to assess relevant experience, engage candidates credibly, and advise hiring managers.
- Influence hiring decisions. Bring market intelligence, candidate evidence, and recruiting data to conversations with hiring leaders. Challenge assumptions constructively, surface tradeoffs, and recommend solutions to stalled searches.
- Create a candidate experience that earns trust. Understand candidates’ goals, communicate the opportunity honestly, prepare them for interviews, and provide timely updates. Maintain strong relationships throughout the process.
- Lead closing and offer negotiations. Identify motivations and potential obstacles early. Partner with hiring leaders and compensation partners to develop offers, navigate negotiations, and secure acceptances.
- Put AI to practical use. Use approved tools to support research, sourcing, personalized outreach, interview preparation, and pipeline analysis. Give tools clear context, verify their output, and remain accountable for your recommendations and communications.
- Improve how the team recruits. Identify repetitive work and process bottlenecks, test improvements, and share effective prompts, templates, and workflows. Evaluate whether changes improve quality, save time, or accelerate hiring.
- Keep execution disciplined and visible. Maintain accurate ATS records, communicate pipeline health and risks, and use funnel data to guide action. Partner effectively with recruiting coordinators and hiring teams, and share knowledge that helps colleagues succeed.

## What You've Done

- 6+ years of recruiting experience, including agency experience followed by full-cycle recruiting in-house at a high-growth company. You can demonstrate how you translated agency-developed sourcing, execution, and closing skills into meaningful in-house hiring results.
- Strong technical recruiting experience, ideally across engineering or similarly specialized roles, and an interest in applying that foundation across business functions.
- Demonstrated independence. You’ve owned a portfolio of searches, established an operating rhythm with hiring managers, and resolved problems without needing step-by-step direction.
- Strong sourcing fundamentals. You can turn a hiring brief into a targeted search, engage passive candidates, and adjust based on what the market and pipeline are telling you.
- Credibility with hiring leaders. You ask thoughtful questions, make clear recommendations, and can challenge a requirement or decision while maintaining a productive partnership.
- Learning agility. You can get up to speed in an unfamiliar function, distinguish essential capabilities from preferences, and build a practical plan.
- Applied AI experience. You’ve used AI to improve recruiting or comparable work and can explain the workflow, how you validated the output, and what improved.
- Strong closing judgment. You’ve successfully navigated competing offers, compensation conversations, and complex candidate decisions.
- Operational discipline. You prioritize effectively, maintain reliable data, communicate clearly, and follow through as priorities change.
- Responsible judgment. You protect candidate confidentiality, evaluate people against consistent, job-relevant criteria, and recognize when AI-generated information needs correction or further investigation.

Additional Experience We Value

- Recruiting successfully across both technical and business functions.
- Agency experience that strengthened your sourcing, pace, and closing skills.
- Creating reusable recruiting workflows or helping teammates adopt new tools.
- Experience with Greenhouse, Metaview, or comparable recruiting platforms.

What We Offer:

- Accelerated Growth Environment: Immerse yourself in an environment designed for swift skill and knowledge enhancement, where you have the autonomy to lead experiments and tests on a massive scale.
- Top Tier Compensation Package: Enjoy a rewarding compensation package that includes enticing stock incentives, aligning with our commitment to recognizing and valuing your contributions.
- Flexible Time Off: Embrace a healthy work-life balance with unlimited Flex Time Off, providing you the flexibility to manage your schedule and recharge as needed.
- Comprehensive Benefits Package: Prioritize your well-being with a comprehensive benefits package, featuring 401k, and premium Health, Vision, and Dental Insurance options.

The anticipated gross base pay range is below for this role. Actual compensation will vary depending on factors such as a candidate’s qualifications, skills, experience, and competencies. Base annual salary is one component of StubHub’s total compensation and competitive benefits package, which includes equity, 401(k), paid time off, paid parental leave, and comprehensive health benefits.

Salary Range $165,000—$180,000 USD
