Recruiting

About the role

  • You are Harper's first dedicated recruiting hire.
  • A rebuild this large is a talent problem before it's anything else.
  • We're hiring against the best AI-native companies in the country for the same people, and at ~100x growth the cost of a mediocre hire - or a slow one - compounds fast.

Responsibilities

  • Close candidates yourself. Source, screen, sell, and close across engineering, sales, and GTM. You own the funnel end to end.
  • Own technical recruiting. Understand the stack, know which competitors to pull from, and carry a real mental map of the talent landscape. Evaluate whether an engineer is actually good - don't just pass resumes through.
  • Build infrastructure for 10x. Repeatable sourcing strategies, structured interviews, calibrated scorecards that don't break when we triple headcount.
  • Partner with founders on hiring strategy. Work directly with founders - no committee, no approval chain. Push back when a spec doesn't make sense. Think 24 months ahead.
  • Build and lead a team. Hire and manage recruiters as we scale, and set the bar for performance and velocity.
  • You're ready to own the function and build a team under you.

Requirements

  • 6-10 years in recruiting, including scaling through rapid growth (Series A-C).
  • 2+ years managing recruiting teams of 3+.
  • You've scaled recruiting through rapid growth, not just done early-stage setup - you know the ebbs and flows from Series A through C and what breaks at each stage.
  • You have tenure and depth - 2-3 year in-house stints where you saw real scale, not a string of short stops.

Nice to have

  • companies that scaled from 30 to 200+ (not repeated Series A stints)
  • recruiting for AI-native or technical sales orgs
  • employer brand and recruiting-content experience
  • You'll be selling that intensity to candidates, so you have to want it yourself - the people who thrive here wouldn't have it any other way.
  • Schedule: Monday-Friday, 5 AM-8 PM.
  • The hours are long.
  • breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided
  • snacks/drinks/coffee daily

Compensation

  • $185,000-$250,000 + performance bonuses & equity

Benefits

  • Uber commuter benefits; breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided; snacks/drinks/coffee daily; free gym membership; health, dental, and vision insurance.
