The Opportunity
We are looking for a Sr Recruiting Manager, Sales to lead hiring for some of the most critical go-to-market roles at Axon. This includes senior individual contributors, front-line leadership, and strategic hiring aligned to our expansion across B2B, Federal, and emerging markets.

- Identify aging or at-risk searches early and drive clear recovery plans.
- Partner closely with senior Sales leaders on talent strategy, profiles, prioritization, and hiring decisions.
- Use funnel, capacity, aging, conversion, and market data to diagnose issues and drive action.
- Build proactive pipelines for recurring and critical Sales talent.
- Bring creative approaches to sourcing, CRM, events, referrals, market mapping, AI, and recruiting technology.
- Personally step into critical searches or business problems when needed.
- Continuously improve how the team operates, removing friction and scaling what works.
What You Bring
- 6+ years of experience in Sales or GTM recruiting, with 2+ years of team leadership or mentoring responsibility
- Experience hiring Sales roles across multiple regions or segments, from senior individual contributors to front-line leaders, in high-growth environments
- Strong partnership with sales stakeholders and ability to influence hiring decisions
- Solid understanding of recruiting operations, funnel metrics, and recruiter productivity
- Track record of delivering against hiring goals while maintaining a high talent bar
- Comfort working with data to inform decisions, while exercising judgment beyond the numbers
- Experience improving recruiting processes, candidate experience, and stakeholder alignment
- High standards, low ego, and a willingness to be hands-on when needed

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Recruiting Team Lead
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
Pull your O*NET profile for Recruiting Team Lead and map your bachelor's degree field directly to the listed knowledge domains. USCIS scrutinizes whether the specific degree, not just any bachelor's, is normally required for the role.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating offers
Run your target city and job title through the OFLC Wage Search before salary talks begin. Your employer's certified LCA must meet the prevailing wage for every worksite, so knowing the floor in advance prevents offer rescissions after filing.
Target employers with HR leadership hiring patterns
Search Migrate Mate for companies with verified H-1B LCA filing history in human resources and talent acquisition roles. Employers who have sponsored similar positions before understand the LCA and I-129 process and are far less likely to withdraw offers mid-filing.
Account for multi-site LCA requirements in your role
Recruiting Team Leads often oversee hiring across multiple office locations. Each worksite requires its own certified LCA from DOL before you can work there, so confirm your employer is prepared to file additional LCAs if your responsibilities span more than one location.
Build a credential packet before final-round interviews
Compile official transcripts, any HR certifications like PHR or SHRM-CP, and documentation of team leadership scope before you enter final interviews. Having these ready shortens the gap between verbal offer and I-129 petition preparation significantly.
Clarify cap-exempt status with academic or nonprofit employers
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated organizations are exempt from the annual H-1B cap. If you're open to those sectors, cap-exempt sponsors can file your I-129 at any time of year without waiting for the selection period.
H-1B Visa Recruiting Team Lead: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Recruiting Team Lead role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, when the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher in human resources, business administration, industrial-organizational psychology, or a closely related field. USCIS evaluates the specific degree requirement, not just management experience. Employers strengthen the case by writing job descriptions that tie leadership duties explicitly to degree-level coursework rather than general business acumen.
How do I find employers who have actually sponsored H-1B visas for recruiting or HR leadership roles?
Search Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history by role type. Focusing on companies that have previously sponsored positions in talent acquisition or HR leadership confirms they understand the filing process and have an established relationship with immigration counsel, reducing the risk of a withdrawn offer.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer restructures the recruiting team after I'm sponsored?
A material change in job duties, title, or worksite requires your employer to file an amended I-129 petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. If your role shifts from leading a recruiting team to individual-contributor recruiting, the specialty occupation basis may change and USCIS could issue a Request for Evidence. Confirm any restructuring with your employer's immigration counsel immediately.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I receive a better offer mid-sponsorship?
Yes, H-1B portability lets you start working for a new employer once they file a non-frivolous I-129 transfer petition, provided you're in valid status and have been counted against the cap. Your new employer must certify a fresh LCA covering the new worksite and prevailing wage before filing. You don't need to restart the three-year clock.
How long does the H-1B filing process typically take for a Recruiting Team Lead position?
DOL certifies the LCA within seven business days under standard processing. USCIS then adjudicates the I-129 petition, which takes roughly three to six months under regular processing or fifteen business days with premium processing. Plan your start date with these timelines in mind and confirm your employer is willing to pay for premium processing if your offer has a firm start date.
