About the role

What You'll Do

Recruiting & Sourcing

  • Source exceptional candidates at high volume across LinkedIn, GitHub, and other channels — proactive outreach is the core of this role
  • Build and maintain sourcing lists, sequences, and outreach cadences to keep pipeline full across multiple open roles simultaneously
  • Screen inbound applicants and qualify candidates through thoughtful initial conversations before passing to hiring managers
  • Own interview scheduling end-to-end — coordinating availability, managing virtual and onsite logistics
  • Keep candidates warm and engaged throughout the process
  • Maintain clean, accurate data in our ATS at all times
  • Partner with hiring managers on role intake, scorecards, and structured interview processes

Project Management & Operations

  • Own project tracking across teams — maintain visibility into open initiatives, follow up on deliverables, and flag anything at risk of slipping
  • Build and manage lightweight operational systems (task management, SOPs, internal documentation)
  • Support the founder and leadership team with scheduling, coordination, and execution of cross-functional priorities
  • Handle operational tasks across HR, office management, and general business operations as needed

What We're Looking For

  • 1–2 years of experience in recruiting coordination, sourcing, talent acquisition, project management, or operations — ideally at a startup or high-growth company
  • You source relentlessly and know how to find exceptional, talented people who are not applying
  • You run a thoughtful, tight process — interviews are well-coordinated and leave candidates feeling good about their experience
  • Comfortable managing a project board as well as a candidate pipeline
  • Moves fast and follows through on everything
  • Works equally well independently and collaboratively
  • Strong written communication — outreach messages get replies because they are warm, clear, and genuinely human
  • Comfortable using AI-powered tools to drive performance
  • Startup DNA: early-stage means high expectations, meaningful hours, and building the plane while flying it

Nice to Have

  • Experience supporting technical recruiting (engineers, ML/AI roles, security)
  • Familiarity with ATS platforms (Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever) and HRIS tools (Rippling, Gusto)
  • Previous experience at a seed-to-Series D company
