JOB-1532
A fast-growing startup that uses AI agents to run finance back-office operations for large enterprises currently has no owner for recruiting. It wants a startup recruiter with strong initiative who excels at filling roles that face customers and who could grow into a senior people-leadership position as the company expands substantially over the coming year.
What you’ll own
- Run every search from first outreach to accepted offer, mostly engineers who work embedded with customers and AI strategy staff, along with go-to-market, product and platform hires
- Build a scorecard with hiring managers per opening, coordinate established interview loops and verify references for each hire
- Find and approach strong people who are not actively looking, with the help of AI sourcing software, and later supervise a junior recruiter
- Direct outside recruiting partners and search firms and keep them to a demanding standard
- Spend a small share of your time, about a tenth, on people operations such as immigration paperwork, payroll and benefits administration
About you
- Four to eight years in technical recruiting or talent acquisition leadership, including at least two in-house
- Has personally hired forward-deployed engineers, solutions engineers or similar customer-facing technical roles
- Strong outbound sourcing skills and independence in reaching candidates
- Experience at an early-stage or growth startup, or as a founding or solo recruiter, is a plus
- Familiarity with HR administration and visa transfer processes is helpful
- A degree
- Backgrounds limited to large-company recruiting, or to internal-only technical roles, are less relevant
On-site five days a week in the San Francisco Bay Area. Visa transfers considered.
