About the role

You'll source a mix of individual contributors and managers.
The right person for this role context-switches across very different candidate profiles while still moving with the urgency of an early-stage company.
You'll use AI tools, LinkedIn Recruiter, your network, niche communities, and creative outbound channels.

We automate the entire primary research workflow, from study design and expert recruitment through AI-moderated interviews and insight synthesis - replacing weeks of manual research with hours of high-signal output.
You'll own the entire hiring engine from day one: finding candidates, running processes, and helping us grow from ~25 people to 50+ by end of 2026.
You'll get the chance to build our recruiting engine from scratch, hiring across every function - engineering, go-to-market, operations, and beyond.
Recruiting operations. You'll own and refine our ATS (Ashby), build candidate scorecards, establish reporting cadences, and create the infrastructure needed to hire at pace without chaos.
Your market signal directly shapes our compensation strategy, employer brand, and organizational design.
You'll create the processes, playbooks, and systems that define how this company scales.
You've recruited in environments where there's no playbook, no employer brand, and no admin support - and you thrived in it.
