> Own full-cycle recruiting to scale Mercor's Enterprise Human Data team from ~10 to 100+ people this year. Build hiring systems, source and close Engagement Managers, Project Leads, applied-AI engineers, and GTM roles while partnering closely with leadership in a high-intensity, in-person environment.

## Job Description

## 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

## Benefits
- $15K relocation bonus (for moving to the Bay Area)
- $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
- $1.5K monthly stipend for meals
- Free Equinox membership
- $200 monthly laundry reimbursement
