About Atticus
At any given time, 16 million Americans are experiencing a crisis that requires urgent help from our legal system or government. The right assistance could transform their lives. But today, most never get it. Atticus makes it easy for any sick or injured person in crisis to get the life-changing aid they deserve. In the last six years, we've become the leading platform connecting people with disabilities to government benefits. We also help victims of accidents, misconduct, and violence get compensation from insurance. So far, we've helped hundreds of thousands of people access over $10 billion in life-changing aid and earned over 17,000+ five-star reviews. Our mission is to create a category-defining business that empowers needy Americans. We have raised more than $100 million from top VC firms such as Fika, Forerunner, GV (Google Ventures), and True Ventures, and we are well-funded following our Series C round in April 2025. Our team has grown from 151 to 210 members in 2025, with plans for further expansion in 2026. Atticus is a certified B Corporation committed to social impact, innovation, and creating meaningful change in the lives of those in need.
About The Role
We are seeking a highly experienced Lead Technical Recruiter to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be instrumental in building and scaling teams that develop products aimed at removing barriers between our clients and the aid they deserve. Reporting directly to the Head of Talent, you will be the most tenured recruiter within a small, close-knit recruiting team of five members. Your primary responsibility will be to run full-cycle recruiting for technical roles, from sourcing to closing, ensuring we attract top-tier talent aligned with our mission and values. Collaborating closely with engineering leaders and hiring managers, you will define role requirements, develop effective search strategies, and build robust candidate pipelines, including engaging passive candidates. You will manage the interview process to guarantee clear communication, prompt feedback, and an exceptional candidate experience. Additionally, you will handle multiple searches simultaneously while maintaining high standards for talent quality. As a leader within the recruiting team, you will mentor junior recruiters, share best practices, and elevate recruiting standards across the organization. Your insights will help identify opportunities to improve recruiting processes, tools, and workflows, fostering continuous improvement and operational excellence.
