Head of Talent Acquisition

Role Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end hiring across the entire company — engineering, product, sales, customer success, growth, operations, and leadership roles
• Build the talent function from the ground up: ATS setup, sourcing infrastructure, interview rubrics, scorecards, calibration processes, and reporting
• Run full-cycle recruiting yourself — sourcing, outreach, screening, coordinating, closing — until volume justifies hiring beneath you
• Partner directly with the founder and hiring managers to define role profiles, calibrate the bar, and move quickly without sacrificing quality
• Own the candidate experience end-to-end, from first touch to offer accept, in a way that reflects how we operate as a company
• Develop and refine our employer brand and hiring narrative as we scale
• Bring data and rigor to hiring: pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-hire, source-of-hire, and quality-of-hire benchmarks
• Lay the foundation for a future talent team — the systems, processes, and standards that will let us hire 10x from here

What We're Looking For (ideally)

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with meaningful time spent at high-growth startups (Seed through Series B/C)
• Proven track record hiring across functions — you've successfully closed senior engineers, GTM leaders, and CS hires, not just one swim lane
• Founding-recruiter mentality — you've built (or are itching to build) a talent function from scratch and don't need an existing playbook to be effective
• Exceptional sourcing chops — you can find and engage passive talent without leaning on agencies or inbound applicants
• Strong closer — you understand candidate psychology, navigate competing offers, and consistently land top-of-market hires
• AI-first operator — your default instinct is to use AI to streamline sourcing, outreach, screening, and ops; you actively experiment with new tools and workflows
• High judgment on talent — you have a sharp internal bar and can calibrate it quickly to a hiring manager's needs
• Bias toward speed without compromising on quality — you ship hires the way our engineers ship code
