🏢 About Bidgely

Bidgely is a climate tech company that uses AI-powered analytics to provide appliance-specific energy insights, helping homeowners reduce consumption and combat climate change. Unlike generic energy monitoring, their technology identifies individual appliance usage patterns, making them leaders in the emerging home energy management space. Working here means contributing directly to environmental impact through innovative technology.

About This Role

This Senior Recruiter role involves owning full-cycle recruiting for senior individual contributors through executive positions at Bidgely, with a focus on building high-quality talent pipelines in a regulated enterprise environment. You'll be responsible for proactive sourcing for hard-to-fill roles while maintaining executive-ready recruiting dashboards and metrics. This position is impactful because you'll be hiring the leadership that drives Bidgely's mission to revolutionize home energy savings.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing executive-ready recruiting dashboards to assess pipeline health, conducting proactive sourcing for hard-to-fill senior roles using targeted search strategies, and leading intake meetings with hiring managers for director and VP positions. You'll spend significant time building and nurturing candidate relationships while ensuring compliance with enterprise recruiting processes in a regulated environment.

🎯 Who Bidgely Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years of in-house recruiting experience with demonstrated ownership of senior individual contributor, Director, VP, and executive searches from intake through close
  • Possesses strong outbound sourcing capabilities with a proven track record of filling senior roles through direct sourcing, referrals, and targeted search strategies in complex environments
  • Is data-fluent with experience using recruiting metrics to own time-to-fill, pipeline health, and conversion metrics while maintaining accurate dashboards
  • Has experience recruiting in regulated enterprise environments and understands the compliance considerations for senior talent acquisition

4
