Founding Recruiter

About the role

As Founding Recruiter, you'll help build the team that builds Lassie. You'll own recruiting end to end: finding exceptional talent, creating an excellent candidate experience, partnering closely with hiring managers, and raising the bar of what great looks like.

What you'll do

• Build Lassie's talent acquisition engine from scratch: strategy, process, tools, metrics, reporting, and brand
• Own end-to-end recruiting across software engineering, GTM, and G&A
• Partner with the founders and early hiring managers to define role requirements (MOCs) and design interview plans
• Do initial screens, and manage candidates through every stage from first touch to offer close
• Create and refine talent pipelines across multiple simultaneous searches
• Build and refine recruiting analytics (funnel health, conversion rates, time-to-hire metrics, and more)
• Represent Lassie externally through events, meetups, and outbound messaging to raise awareness among top talent
• Deliver an exceptional candidate experience and make sure every touchpoint reflects Lassie's values and ambition

What we're looking for

• You have 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience and deep expertise in sourcing, assessing, and closing top talent
• You've mastered mapping talent-dense networks, sourcing, and maintaining long-term relationships with top talent
• You've designed or built AI-native workflows for recruiting tasks, or have a strong instinct for where AI eliminates manual work without compromising the candidate experience or quality of decision-making
