Recruiting Lead

Responsibilities

• Close candidates yourself — Sourcing, screening, selling, closing engineering and GTM roles
• Build recruiting infrastructure for 10x scale — Repeatable sourcing strategies, structured interviews, calibrated scorecards that don’t break when we triple headcount
• Own technical recruiting — Understand the tech stack; evaluate whether an engineer is actually good
• Expand into GTM and operations — Once technical recruiting runs, build pipelines for sales/marketing/ops
• Partner with founders on hiring strategy — Push back when job specs don’t make sense; think 24 months ahead
• Build and lead a team — Hire and manage recruiters as we scale; set the bar for performance and velocity

Requirements

• 6-10 years in recruiting, with experience scaling through rapid growth (Series A-C)
• 2+ years managing recruiting teams of 3+ people
• Technical recruiting background strongly preferred
• Experience building recruiting processes and systems that survive 10x growth
• Ability to source, sell, and close directly—not just manage
• Deep understanding of technical roles and talent landscape
• Based in San Francisco or willing to relocate

Nice to Have

• Experience at companies that scaled from 30 to 200+ (not just repeated Series A stints)
• Background recruiting for AI-native or technical sales organizations
• Employer brand and recruiting content experience
• Experience building recruiting teams from scratch
