RecruitingLeadership
About the role
- You'll report directly to the Chief of Staff.
Responsibilities
- Source and hire n-of-1 talent. Find the exceptional people across every team, write outreach that gets replies, and build long-term relationships with them before roles even open.
- Own the candidate experience. Run initial screens and be candidates' first impression of Footprint. Sell the mission, get the best people genuinely excited to join, and keep every touchpoint sharp and respectful.
- Partner with hiring managers. Work with leads to define what great looks like for each role, design interview plans, and keep the bar consistent.
- Manage agency relationships. Brief and manage our external recruiting agencies, and get the most out of them while holding them to our bar and timelines.
- 3-7+ years of full-cycle recruiting, including in-house at a top startup. You've recruited in a fast, high-bar environment, run searches on your own from first outreach to close, and know what great looks like.
- A relationship builder. You're great with people and build trust quickly, with candidates and hiring managers alike.
- A strong engineering-recruiting track record. You've sourced and closed strong engineers and can hold your own in technical conversations.
- Find the exceptional people across every team, write outreach that gets replies, and build long-term relationships with them before roles even open.
- From day one, you'll have direct ownership over strategic initiatives that drive the business forward.
- Hiring is one of the highest-leverage things we do, and as our first dedicated recruiter, it's yours to own.
Requirements
- 3-7+ years of full-cycle recruiting, including in-house at a top startup.

Nice to have
- Experience at a recruiting agency, in addition to in-house.
- Fluency with modern recruiting tooling: Ashby (or a similar ATS), LinkedIn Recruiter, and sourcing and outreach tools.
- Massive impact, fast: You'll work on projects that shape company direction, not analysis that gets shelved.
- Real growth opportunity: Promotion timelines depend on performance: the harder you work, the quicker you'll get promoted.
- Winning team and culture: We're a fast-moving, no-BS team that likes to win (and have fun doing it).
