The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Recruiter to join our North America Talent Acquisition team in San Francisco.

As a Senior Recruiter, you will serve as a strategic partner to business leaders—combining deep expertise in identifying complex enterprise talent with a track record of proactively sourcing hard-to-reach, passive candidates. Your primary focus will be owning G&A hiring across North America, but your versatility allows you to quickly master new markets as priorities shift. We want a recruiter who builds high-performing teams, challenges assumptions with market data, and empowers leaders to make better hiring decisions.

What You’ll Do

• Own Full-Cycle Recruiting Across G&A: Lead hiring across key G&A functions, including Finance, Legal, and compliance, with a focus on quality, urgency, and candidate experience.
• Proactive Sourcing: Build deep pipelines of passive talent rather than relying primarily on inbound candidates.
• Market Intelligence: Map relevant talent markets and provide insight on competitor organizations, candidate availability, compensation, location, and market dynamics.
• Trusted Advisor: Act as a trusted partner to hiring managers—knowing when to challenge, when to influence, and when to align and move.
• Data-Driven Recruitment: Use funnel data and recruiting insights to identify issues early and recommend practical solutions.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner across Recruiting, People, Compensation, and the broader business to solve hiring challenges.
• Team Enablement: Contribute beyond your own requisitions by mentoring others, sharing market expertise, and improving how we work.

Who You Are

• Experience: You bring 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably within high-growth technology, fintech, or payments.
• Versatility: You have successfully recruited across multiple business domains.
• Stakeholder Management: You can quickly learn a new business, product, or talent segment, translate that into an effective strategy, and build credibility quickly with senior leaders.
• Market Mapping & Data: You are an exceptional sourcer who uses data and market intelligence to shape strategy, influence stakeholders, and make better decisions.
• Communication & Adaptability: You communicate clearly and directly (even in difficult conversations), challenge constructively without friction, and remain adaptable and low-ego.
• High Bar: You care deeply about candidate experience, maintain high professionalism, and are energized by ambiguity in fast-moving environments.

Location

This role is based in our San Francisco office. Adyen is an office-first company and values the speed, connection and collaboration that comes from working together in person.
