Recruiter

What You’ll Do

• Own full-cycle recruiting (sourcing → close) across the Enterprise Human Data org's core roles — Engagement Managers, Strategic Project Leads and Associates, applied-AI / code-delivery engineers
• Partner directly with team and company leadership to map hiring needs, calibrate the bar, and implement continual process improvements as the team scales from ~10 to 100+
• Build top-of-funnel using creative outbound and talent intelligence
• Coach hiring managers and interviewers on structured interviewing, leveling, and decision hygiene
• Operationalize hiring systems: track and optimize key funnel metrics (pass-through rates, time-in-stage, source yield)
• Champion speed and quality: drive SLAs for same-day debriefs, fast offers, and a best-in-class candidate experience in an exceptionally competitive market
• Build brand: campaigns, referrals, and events that attract top operators, engineers, and commercial talent
• Represent Mercor externally — you'll be a face of the brand to senior candidates weighing the best offers in tech
• Collaborate on dashboards, metrics, and process automation within Ashby and other recruiting systems
• Recruit across both commercial/GTM and technical profiles as the division stands up domain pods (Legal, Finance, Coding, Health)

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with full-cycle recruiting across IC and leadership roles
• Proven ability to build and scale hiring systems, identify key metrics, and make data-driven decisions
• High motor, outcome oriented approach; Enterprise is Mercor's fastest-growing segment and hiring is the single biggest lever on its growth
• Strong communication skills; able to work efficiently with General Managers, Account Leads and internal leadership
• Familiarity with a range of roles across commercial (sales / account management) and technical (engineering, applied AI) hiring
• Confident representing the Mercor brand to top candidates
• Comfort with the pace this mandate requires: six days a week (five in person), long hours, based in SF (preferred) or NYC
• Familiarity with Ashby or ability to quickly adopt new tools and systems

Nice to Haves

• Experience as a founding recruiter or early-stage startup builder
• Interest in the human data / AGI space
• Experience recruiting for GTM / enterprise sales or technical / applied-AI teams (both are in scope)
• A track record of hiring against aggressive, non-negotiable timelines in a hyper-growth environment

Ideal Qualities

• Agility / Adaptability - ability to move fast, pivot with business shifts, and maintain best-in-class outcomes
• Operational Rigor - ability to bring order to an unstructured environment
• Growth Mindset - You don’t need to be an expert on AI, but you do need to have a strong desire to learn and continue learning in a rapidly evolving, frontier industry
• Commitment to the Outcome - Ownership mentality; will hold themselves accountable to an extremely high standard of work
• Love for the Craft - we are building a zero to one motion; this hire will bring a low ego attitude to the table with a genuine love for building a best-in-class talent acquisition motion
