About the role
Merge Labs is seeking a Senior Recruiter to own research and scientific recruiting across bioengineering, neuro, ML, and engineering roles. This full-cycle role involves partnering with research leaders, building talent maps, and engaging exceptional candidates who can operate at the frontier of science and technology. You will translate frontier research needs into hiring strategies, create rigorous candidate experiences, and drive structured processes with data-informed decisions.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
