Job Description:
We are looking for a Sr. Recruiter who is passionate about connecting great people with meaningful work. In this role, you will own full-cycle recruiting across a wide range of disciplines — Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Finance, Operations, and more — partnering closely with hiring managers to attract exceptional talent at every level, from early-career contributors to senior executives.
You will bring a consultative, relationship-driven approach to every search, serving as a trusted partner to the business while ensuring every candidate has an exceptional experience with Lattice.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Full-Cycle Recruiting
Own end-to-end recruiting for a diverse portfolio of open roles spanning Engineering (hardware, software, firmware, verification), Sales, Marketing, Finance, Legal, and Operations
Partner with hiring managers from intake through offer acceptance, ensuring alignment on requirements, timelines, and candidate expectations at every step
Conduct thorough candidate screens to assess both technical fit and cultural alignment, delivering a shortlist of well-qualified candidates with clear, actionable feedback
Prepare candidates thoroughly for each interview stage — providing context on the role, team, and Lattice culture to set them up for success
Craft and extend competitive offers in collaboration with HR and Total Rewards, and guide candidates through the negotiation and acceptance process
Manage multiple requisitions simultaneously across varying levels and functions, maintaining quality, responsiveness, and attention to detail throughout
Maintain accurate, up-to-date records in the ATS, ensuring requisition status, candidate stages, and disposition notes are current at all times
Sourcing & Pipeline Building
Develop and execute creative, multi-channel sourcing strategies to identify and engage passive talent — beyond the active applicant pool
Leverage LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, job boards, employee referrals, industry events, and direct outreach to build robust, diverse candidate pipelines
Proactively build talent pipelines for recurring or anticipated needs, so Lattice is never starting from zero on a critical hire
Research target companies, talent communities, and professional networks relevant to each discipline to sharpen sourcing focus
Track sourcing channel effectiveness and adjust strategies based on what is producing the best results
Stakeholder Partnership
Lead structured intake meetings with hiring managers to define the ideal candidate profile, agree on interview process, and set expectations on timeline and market realities
Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and cross-functional partners — providing candid, data-backed guidance on candidate quality, compensation, and market conditions
Communicate proactively with all stakeholders, providing regular pipeline updates, market feedback, and recommendations to keep searches moving forward
Coach interview panels on structured, consistent interviewing techniques and inclusive hiring practices to improve both the quality and fairness of hiring decisions
Facilitate debrief sessions and calibration conversations to ensure timely, well-reasoned hiring decisions
Candidate Experience
Deliver a thoughtful, respectful candidate experience at every touchpoint — from first outreach to final decision — that reflects Lattice's values and employer brand
Communicate clearly and promptly with all candidates, ensuring no one is left without a status update or feedback for an unreasonable amount of time
Gather candidate feedback on the interview experience and surface insights that can improve the process over time
Serve as a knowledgeable, enthusiastic ambassador for Lattice — effectively communicating our mission, products, culture, and growth opportunities to prospective hires
Talent Strategy & Market Intelligence
Stay current on talent market trends, compensation benchmarks, and competitor hiring activity relevant to Lattice's key disciplines
Use data and market insights to advise hiring managers on realistic expectations, timeline adjustments, and compensation positioning
Track and analyze key recruiting metrics — time-to-fill, source of hire, offer acceptance rate, and pipeline diversity — and use them to continuously improve outcomes
