Senior Technical Recruiter

About Avive:

Avive Solutions, Inc. (https://avive.life) is a growth stage Automated External Defibrillator (AED) company with a connected response system that is rapidly gaining market share. We are a mission driven team that is quite literally saving lives. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and we are on a mission to change that! We are a dynamic organization that builds elegant, creative solutions to solve complex problems. Ultimately, our mission is for all cardiac arrest victims to have rapid access to life-saving defibrillation.

Avive is taking a fresh approach to addressing this decades-old problem by innovating AED technology, coupled with a first-of-its-kind software platform solution to enable a quicker and more streamlined response to SCA emergencies. We believe that this unique combination of deploying advanced – yet still accessible – hardware, and software, has the potential to revolutionize out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response and massively impact SCA survival rates.

• Monitor and report on hiring metrics, funnel performance, candidate quality, and time-to-fill — using data to inform decisions and drive accountability.
• Identify opportunities to make our hiring processes more equitable, efficient, and consistent.

• 7+ years of progressive recruiting experience, with significant time spent hiring technical and  hardware/software talent in high-growth or complex engineering environments (MedTech, consumer hardware, device manufacturing, robotics, etc.).
• Demonstrated success sourcing and closing niche technical roles in competitive markets — particularly hardware, embedded systems, firmware, and full-stack engineering.
• Ability to partner with senior leaders, influence decisions, and guide technical stakeholders with confidence and clarity.
