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.
