About the role
- This is our first dedicated Business Talent Acquisition hire, working directly with the founding team.
- This is not a typical recruiting role: you will operate as a builder, designing the sourcing engine, interview rubrics, and closing motion that bring in elite talent across every business-side hire we make.
- You should be excited to recruit at the same caliber bar that built the rest of the team - Jane Street, Citadel Securities, Meta, Google, Palantir, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Silver Lake, MBB consulting, top PE, and top hedge funds.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end recruiting for AfterQuery's business and operations roles - sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing top-tier candidates across Strategic Project Operations, GTM, and other key business functions we build out.
- Build deep, proactive talent pipelines from elite finance, consulting, PE, and tech firms - the same caliber bar as our existing team - and convert them.
- Partner directly with the executive and founding team to define hiring profiles, prioritize searches, and design rigorous interview processes that test for agency, drive, and judgment.
- Drive recruiting infrastructure across the company as an early hire - scorecards, interview rubrics, sourcing tooling, the candidate experience, and the offer-and-close motion that turns interest into signed contracts.
- Intense work ethic, agency, and drive. You're a builder first, and thrive in ambiguity.
- A real seat at the strategy table - every business hire you make compounds AfterQuery's trajectory, and you'll own that.
Requirements
- 5-10+ years of experience across agency and in-house recruiting.
- A track record of identifying, attracting, and closing elite talent.
- Proven track record of scaling recruiting operations through rapid headcount growth.
- Making a pivot into AI from a strong track record elsewhere - finance, consulting, search, or operating roles - with demonstrated success.
Benefits
- You'll define the business-side hiring engine for a fast growing company in the AI training-data category.
Equal opportunity
- AfterQuery is an equal opportunity employer.
- We hire on merit and evaluate everyone against the same bar.
