We have partnered with leading organizations like McKinsey, Blackstone, Microsoft, Google, KKR and beyond to equip them with B2B insights to solve pressing business challenges. Our research has been cited by Fortune, Forbes, TechCrunch, Adweek and more.

About the role
We’re looking for a strategic and driven Senior Recruiter ready to help shape the future of B2B research by building the exceptional teams that power NewtonX. A successful candidate combines sharp business instincts with a deep understanding of technical talent markets, thrives in a fast-moving startup environment, and brings a passion for building recruiting systems that scale.
As a Senior Technical Recruiter, you’ll own full-cycle recruiting for both technical roles (Engineering, Product, Data) and business roles (Go-to-Market, Operations, Strategy). You’ll partner closely with leaders across the company to deeply understand their teams’ needs, design thoughtful hiring strategies, and deliver a first-class candidate experience that reflects NewtonX’s values and ambition.
This role requires someone who can build from the ground up — crafting hiring processes, optimizing interview structures, advising leaders on market trends, and helping shape our talent brand. You’ll report into the Head of People and work closely with the executive team to ensure our hiring strategy directly supports the company’s growth and product vision.
Key areas of responsibility:
Build a world-class hiring engine
Develop and execute a strategic recruiting vision that supports NewtonX’s mission and growth. Partner with leaders across Engineering, Product, Data, and Business functions to anticipate hiring needs and build scalable recruiting strategies that ensure we attract the best talent in the market.
Help hiring managers understand how talent decisions shape our business trajectory—showing teams not just who to hire, but why the right hire drives impact. Innovate in how we attract and evaluate talent, pushing boundaries in sourcing, assessment, and candidate experience.
Embody and evolve NewtonX’s recruiting culture as we scale—driving excellence, consistency, and inclusion across every hiring touchpoint.
Own the full recruiting lifecycle
Design and execute effective hiring strategies across technical and business roles—from entry-level positions to senior leadership.
Plan and prioritize hiring needs in alignment with company goals and workforce planning.
Develop 6–12 month hiring roadmaps that anticipate business growth, evolving team structures, and future skill requirements.
Partner cross-functionally with the People, Finance, and Executive teams to align on headcount planning, budget, and organizational design.
Recruit at a world-class level—actively source and engage exceptional candidates, build talent pipelines, and close top performers across Engineering, Product, Data, and Go-To-Market functions.
Lead process design: build and continuously refine interview processes that ensure fairness, consistency, and quality while keeping the bar high.
Champion hiring excellence: equip managers with tools, training, and insights to make better hiring decisions, and instill a culture of ownership and accountability in hiring.
Build NewtonX’s talent brand
Represent NewtonX as a trusted ambassador in the market. Partner with Marketing, People, and leadership to showcase our culture, technology, and mission externally.
Speak at industry panels and events, participate in career fairs, and represent the company at networking opportunities.
Encourage team members to share authentic stories about their work through blogs, social posts, and community engagement.
Create programs that strengthen NewtonX’s employer brand among both technical and business audiences.
Lead through influence and partnership
Operate as a true strategic partner to leadership—an advisor on all things talent.
Coach hiring managers on market trends, compensation ranges, and candidate engagement best practices.
Partner with the Chief People Officer on hiring forecasts, equity and compensation structures, and offer negotiation strategies.
Collaborate across departments to ensure hiring processes are inclusive, data-informed, and aligned with NewtonX’s broader goals.
Balance speed and quality—ensuring the recruiting team moves fast without compromising standards.
Inspire excellence and continuous improvement
Drive recruiting team execution and measure results:
Define and track metrics such as time-to-fill, pipeline quality, candidate experience, and hiring manager satisfaction.
Use data to uncover bottlenecks and improve efficiency week over week.
Experiment with new tools, sourcing channels, and employer branding tactics to optimize team output.
Ensure every candidate, hired or not, walks away with a positive impression of NewtonX.
