About the role

Employer Brand - Shape the employer brand and candidate experience, from initial outreach through offer.
Hiring Health & Insights - Monitor funnel health (pass-through rates, time-to-hire, rejection themes) and turn those insights into better, faster hiring decisions.
Bring 6+ years of full cycle recruiting, preferably in fast moving startups or technical environments.

Own Full Cycle Recruiting - Lead hiring across technical, GTM, operations, and leadership roles simultaneously.
Strategic Sourcing - Go beyond traditional, volume driven sourcing to identify overlooked talent, build lasting relationships, and create repeatable sourcing strategies.
ATS & System Optimization - Own and optimize our ATS infrastructure (Ashby), scorecards, and pipeline analytics to ensure a scalable hiring process.
Team Leadership - Coach current stakeholders and, as the company scales, hire and develop a recruiting team.
This is the first dedicated recruiting hire and an opportunity to build the talent function from the ground up.
You'll partner directly with founders and senior leaders to define hiring strategy, design recruiting processes, and attract exceptional talent across technical, operational, and leadership functions.
Able to collaborate on Pacific Time, with occasional evening or weekend conversations as needed.
Work Alongside Exceptional People - The team is composed of experienced builders and technical leaders who care deeply about their craft and maintain a high bar for execution.
Build the Future, Not Just Maintain It - This is an environment for people who enjoy creating and shaping what comes next, not simply operating within systems that already exist.
Learn quickly and create new playbooks when the old ones don't apply.

Work comfortably with modern tools and AI enabled workflows, using them to increase leverage and speed without sacrificing judgment.
As the company enters an exciting new phase of growth, it is investing heavily in both talent and technology.
The provided salary depends on many factors, such as work experience and transferable skills, business needs and impact, and market demands.
