About the role
Bizee Bizee is building an AI-powered platform to help founders launch, operate, stay compliant, and grow their businesses. As we scale, we're investing in our team to ensure we continue to attract and retain exceptional talent.
Opportunity
We are seeking a Principal Recruiter who combines exceptional recruiting craft with a builder's mindset. You will lead high-impact searches across Bizee, from individual contributor and specialized roles to senior leadership and confidential searches, while helping us build a recruiting function that scales without lowering the bar.
Requirements
Lead full-cycle recruiting. Own searches from intake and sourcing through interviews, offer, and close across a wide range of functions and levels.
Find exceptional talent. Build pipelines of passive and hard-to-find candidates through direct sourcing, market mapping, referrals, and long-term relationship building.
Partner with leaders. Advise hiring managers and executives on role definition, talent profiles, leveling, team needs, and hiring decisions.
Raise the hiring bar. Build structured, high-signal interview processes that help teams make better decisions and consistently identify exceptional builders, operators, and leaders.
Build an AI-first recruiting function. Use AI and automation across sourcing, talent mapping, research, outreach, interview preparation, candidate assessment, pipeline analysis, and recruiting operations.
Continuously experiment with new tools and workflows that improve speed, quality, and recruiter leverage.
Build scalable recruiting systems. Improve how Bizee approaches intake, sourcing, interviewing, candidate assessment, ATS workflows, decision-making, and candidate experience.
Bring data and market intelligence into hiring conversations.
Create an exceptional candidate experience. Ensure candidates experience Bizee as thoughtful, fast-moving, transparent, and high-bar from first contact through close.
Help create a seamless transition from candidate to employee so new hires arrive prepared, engaged, and positioned to ramp quickly.
Raise the craft of the team. Share best practices, mentor and calibrate with other recruiters, and help continuously improve how the broader Talent function operates.
What You'll Bring
7+ years of progressive full-cycle recruiting experience across a range of roles and levels, including senior, specialized, confidential, or difficult-to-fill searches.
A demonstrated ability to directly source and close exceptional passive candidates rather than relying primarily on inbound applicants or external agencies.
Experience partnering with executives and senior hiring leaders as a trusted talent advisor.
Strong knowledge of structured interviewing, scorecards, calibration, and evidence-based hiring decisions.
Experience building or materially improving recruiting processes, systems, workflows, or infrastructure.
Strong AI fluency and curiosity. You actively use AI in your recruiting workflow and have a point of view on how AI will change sourcing, assessment, recruiting operations, and the role of the recruiter.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence, challenge, and coach hiring leaders constructively.
Operator instincts. You are structured, practical, resourceful, and biased toward action.
High EQ and high backbone. You can push for clarity, challenge weak assumptions, and hold the talent bar under pressure without adding unnecessary bureaucracy or drama.
Comfort operating in ambiguity, building process, and running live searches simultaneously.
Experience with international hiring or rapidly scaling technology, SaaS, platform, PE-backed, or tech-enabled services businesses is a plus.
