Senior Recruiter - Product
About The Position
In 1986, Richard Hamming gave a lecture titled "You and Your Research," where he argued that the most impactful contributors aren't just skilled – they develop taste. They learn to recognize what matters, what scales, and what's worth building. Recruiting, at its best, is a similar exercise in judgment. It's about developing a point of view on talent: recognizing patterns, seeing beyond surface signals, and consistently raising the quality bar. At Mercury, that judgment compounds. Every PM we hire shapes the products that hundreds of thousands of companies rely on – which means recruiting here is not only filling roles, but it’s also influencing what we build and how well we build it. We're looking for a Senior Recruiter to drive Product Management hiring end-to-end: partnering closely with leaders, developing real fluency in what great product work looks like here, and translating that understanding into disciplined, high-quality hiring. Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column, NA, Members FDIC.
Requirements
- 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful focus on Product Management hiring at high-growth technology companies
- Able to assess product thinking, systems orientation, and trajectory - not just pedigree
- Skilled at advising and influencing hiring managers, balancing urgency with quality without compromising either
- A clear, structured communicator who can turn ambiguous role needs into actionable hiring plans
- Organized and proactive, with a track record of running multiple searches simultaneously without losing momentum or quality
- Genuinely curious about products, systems, and what separates good work from great work

- Use data and market signals to sharpen your approach and keep searches moving with momentum
- Deliver a candidate experience that's thoughtful and transparent from first touch to final decision
- Build inclusive pipelines and drive structured, consistent evaluation processes
