Principal Technical Recruiter, Product & Design

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry—an industry worth over $200B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, we’re on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world—empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients.

About the Role

We're looking for an exceptional Senior Technical Recruiter to join our team and focus exclusively on recruiting top-tier Product Management and Design talent. This is a critical, high-impact role that requires more than just sourcing; you'll be a strategic partner responsible for identifying, engaging, and assessing candidates who possess "0 to 1" thinking, a first-principles approach to problem-solving, and an unwavering focus on precision and quality.

You'll be expected to operate with deep business acumen, understanding the nuances of our product strategy and market position to articulate a compelling value proposition to candidates. You'll drive the entire recruiting lifecycle, from strategic sourcing to process optimization and high-touch stakeholder management.

What You'll Do

• Act as a Strategic Partner: Serve as a trusted advisor to senior Product leadership, providing data-backed insights on the talent market, compensation trends, and competitive landscape.

• Deep Business Acumen: Quickly gain a comprehensive understanding of our product portfolio, business model, and competitive environment to effectively screen and excite highly specialized candidates.

• Calibration & Communication: Lead intake meetings and regular calibration sessions, ensuring alignment on required skills, desired mindsets (especially 0-to-1 thinking and first-principles reasoning), and interview feedback.

• High-Bar Assessments: Conduct in-depth screenings that rigorously assess candidates for precision, quality of thought, and the ability to articulate complex product problems using first principles.

• 0-to-1 Thinking: Specifically evaluate candidates' demonstrated ability to conceptualize, validate, and launch entirely new products or features (the "0 to 1" journey) rather than simply iterating on existing ones.

• Interview Process Design: Partner with hiring managers to design and continuously refine a structured, fair, and high-quality assessment process that accurately predicts candidate success.

• Process Ownership: Maintain the highest level of precision and integrity in all recruiting activities, from data management in the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to offer generation and closing

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of progressive experience in technical recruiting, with a minimum of 3 years dedicated to recruiting Product Management and Design

• Proven expertise in full-cycle recruiting, particularly in developing and executing complex sourcing strategies for highly competitive, high-bar roles.

• Demonstrable experience assessing candidates for conceptual thought processes like first principles reasoning and 0-to-1 product development.

• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and consult effectively with Director-level and VP-level leaders.

• Strong business acumen and intellectual curiosity; you must be able to understand and discuss complex technology and market dynamics.

• A meticulous approach to work, emphasizing precision, quality control, and data integrity throughout the process.
