Recruiting

About the role

  • You ship hires at the velocity our growth demands, and you hold the bar even when the timeline pushes you to drop it.
  • We treat recruiting as a science, not an art.
  • You read what a candidate actually wants from a short conversation, then sell to that.

Responsibilities

  • Deliver hires at velocity.
  • Own 6-8 concurrent searches and hit our growth targets without lowering the bar.
  • Turn hiring managers into partners. Coach them to hold the bar without being asked. Activate them as a sourcing channel. Share the outcome, and the accountability.
  • As Senior Recruiter, you own searches end-to-end across engineering, product, operations, and business. You ship hires at the velocity our growth demands, and you hold the bar even when the timeline pushes you to drop it.
  • As Senior Recruiter, you own searches end-to-end across engineering, product, operations, and business.
  • Build recruiting that compounds.

Requirements

  • You can say what made a hire great beyond where they worked or studied.
  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a startup or tech company, with at least 3 years owning technical recruiting pipelines.
  • You know that clarity scales and that a well-written doc often accomplishes more than an hour-long meeting.

Compensation

  • As a New York City-based company, we are dedicated to transparent, fair, and equitable compensation practices that reflect our commitment to fostering an environment where all team members are valued and supported.

Benefits

  • Leave behind playbooks others can run without you.

Company info

  • An eye for what others miss. You read past the credential. You can say what made a hire great beyond where they worked or studied.
  • Quality over speed. You hold the line when under timeline pressure, and you name the specific gap, not "not strong enough."
  • A pitch that lands. You make a strong candidate who's never heard of January want in.
  • The truth, early. You flag a search in trouble before you're forced to, with the data, when staying quiet would have been easier.
  • Judgment under constraint. When capacity is tight, you protect the priority searches and let the others slip, on purpose, instead of spreading thin and missing on all of them.
  • A system you make better. You leave behind playbooks and experiments others can run. Progress that compounds.
  • Collaborative Ownership beats Fiefdoms. You step into gaps without being asked. You fix issues. You seek to bring in the right people.
  • Speed beats perfection. You make decisions with incomplete information, iterate quickly, and course-correct based on what you learn. Fast loops beat slow ones.
  • Candor beats comfort. You give direct feedback because you care about people's growth. You'd rather hear a hard truth early than a polite sidestep that wastes time.
  • Inputs beat outcomes. You evaluate decisions by the thinking behind them, not just results. Good process increases the odds; bad outcomes don't always mean bad decisions.
  • Why beats what. You diagnose before prescribing. You're more interested in root causes than symptoms, and you share context so others can make good decisions without you.
  • Writing beats meetings. You structure your thinking on paper. You know that clarity scales and that a well-written doc often accomplishes more than an hour-long meeting.
  • You find people others can't, and you close them on a company they've never heard of, against one they already trust.
