Technical Recruiter

Summary

REGENT is developing Seagliders to transform regional transportation between coastal cities. The Technical Recruiter will partner with engineering and operations leaders to develop hiring strategies, source and engage candidates, manage full-cycle recruiting, and improve recruiting processes and candidate experience as the company scales.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with hiring managers to define what great looks like, shape hiring strategies, and build exceptional teams across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and beyond
• Own full-cycle recruiting for a wide range of critical roles - from technical specialists and manufacturing talent to business and leadership positions - as REGENT continues to grow
• Build proactive talent pipelines through creative sourcing, referrals, networking, events, and relationship-building with exceptional candidates
• Lead candidates through every stage of the hiring process, providing thoughtful guidance, timely communication, and an experience that reflects who we are as a company
• Use data, market insights, and candidate feedback to influence hiring decisions, improve search strategies, and help teams make better hiring decisions
• Continuously improve how we hire by experimenting with new tools, refining our processes, strengthening our employer brand, and raising the bar for candidate experience

Skills

• You're energized by ambitious hiring challenges. At REGENT, no two searches are the same. One week you might be hiring an aerospace engineer, the next a manufacturing technician, software team leader, or another critical role. You love learning quickly, figuring out what great looks like, and finding the right person
• You know the best candidates rarely come to you. You're exceptional at finding, engaging, and building relationships with hard-to-reach talent, using creativity, persistence, and every tool available to solve the problem
• You thrive in fast-moving environments. You've recruited end-to-end at a startup, growth-stage company, or similarly dynamic organization, and you're comfortable navigating change, ambiguity, and shifting priorities
• You believe recruiting is built on relationships. Whether you're partnering with a hiring manager, guiding a candidate, or collaborating with a teammate, you communicate openly, build trust quickly, and leave people with a great experience
• You take ownership. You move with urgency, solve problems proactively, and find a way forward when the path isn't obvious
• You care deeply about people. You know every hire changes a team, every conversation shapes a candidate's experience, and every search is an opportunity to build something exceptional
• You're excited to build, not just maintain. You want to help shape how we hire as we grow, contribute ideas, experiment with new approaches, and leave our recruiting function stronger than you found it
• You're excited to be part of the team
• Our preference is for someone based in the Rhode Island area or willing to relocate
• We'll also consider exceptional remote candidates who can travel regularly to our Rhode Island headquarters, recruiting events, career fairs, and other hiring activities
• You influence without authority. The best recruiters don't just fill roles - they shape decisions. You know how to ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions respectfully, and help hiring teams make better hiring decisions
• You balance data with judgment. You use recruiting metrics to inform your decisions, but you also know hiring is about people. You combine data, market insights, and experience to make sound recommendations
• You're always learning. You stay curious about recruiting, technology, and the industries we hire for. Whether it's a new sourcing strategy, AI tool, or engineering discipline, you're excited to learn and continuously improve
• You make the team better. You don't just focus on your own searches. You share ideas, improve processes, help teammates, and leave the recruiting function stronger than you found it
• Our preference is for someone based in the Rhode Island area or willing to relocate
