Founding Recruiter

About the role

We are about 18 people today and plan to more than double in the next 6 months. Every one of those hires will shape what Avallon becomes, and we want someone fully dedicated to getting them right. Recruiting has been one of our strengths from day one, and the team we have built is the proof. Now engineering, product, and go-to-market roles are opening at once, and we want a dedicated owner to carry that bar forward: someone who can run searches themselves, keep our agency partners pointed at the right roles, and build the process that keeps every hire as strong as the last. We are hiring our first recruiter to own that. You will run searches end to end, decide what we hire in-house versus through agencies, and build the pipeline, process, and candidate experience for everyone who joins after you. You will report to our Chief of Staff and work closely with the founders and every hiring manager.

Responsibilities

• Own hiring end to end. Engineering, product, go-to-market, and operations. You run intake with the hiring manager, source and screen candidates, manage the loop, and close offers. You are accountable for whether we hire the right people on time.
• Run our agency partners. Set search priorities, coordinate day to day, and hold agencies accountable to quality and speed. You decide which searches we run ourselves and which go to agencies, based on cost, urgency, and how hard the role is to fill.
• Build the pipeline before we need it. Outbound sourcing, referrals, and networks, so the next opening starts with candidates already warm instead of a blank page.
• Design a process that scales. Scorecards, structured interviews, and hiring manager training, so every loop is consistent and every decision is grounded in evidence.
• Measure it. Own our ATS and recruiting data. Report on pipeline health, agency performance, and time to hire, and use it to fix what is slowing us
