Requirements

AI-Native: AI is embedded in how you work, not something you use occasionally.
Experience hiring for technical AI/ML roles in a competitive San Francisco market
Hands-on experience with AI sourcing or screening tools and a clear point of view on where they actually move the needle vs. add noise

Nice to have

hands-on experience with Ashby is a strong plus, as you know how to configure it to give hiring managers and leadership real visibility, not just recruiters.
Global Hiring Expertise: Demonstrated success designing and executing end-to-end global recruiting strategies across geographies, time zones, and competitive labor markets.
