The ideal candidate will have a proven track record as a full-cycle technical recruiter in high-growth environments. Success in this role requires strong stakeholder management skills, creative AI-augmented sourcing strategies, and the ability to deliver high-quality hires in a fast-paced startup setting.

Beyond the expected; this role requires both a superior level of operational wizardry; and a mastery of storytelling, steeped in a comprehensive understanding of the AI market and technology landscape.

  • Manage the candidate experience throughout the recruitment process, providing timely feedback and updates
  • Build strong partnerships with hiring managers to understand technical requirements and team dynamics
  • Negotiate job offers and close candidates
  • Analyze recruiting metrics and refine processes, using AI to turn data into faster, smarter hiring decisions
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, emerging AI recruiting tools, and best practices in technical recruiting

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience
  • Experience working at a high-growth startup
  • Proven track record of successfully placing top-tier technical talent
  • Hands-on experience using AI tools to enhance sourcing, screening, or candidate engagement

  • Proactive, flexible, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment
