About Juicebox

Juicebox is on a mission to help teams win the talent war.

In the age of AI, human ingenuity is the ultimate scarce resource. Recruiting is a zero‑sum game where you either compete or lose.

Teams at Ramp, Perplexity, and leading AI labs use Juicebox to power their hiring, alongside 3,000+ customers from early‑stage startups to Fortune 500 companies.

We’ve crossed $10M in ARR with 20%+ monthly growth, powering thousands of searches every day and making Juicebox one of the fastest‑growing AI SaaS companies in the world.

Juicebox has raised $36M in funding, including a $30M Series A led by Sequoia Capital. Additional investors in Juicebox include Coatue, NFDG, Lux Capital, Y Combinator, and BOND Capital.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Founding Recruiter to help build out our team across both technical and non‑technical roles, and play a visible role in shaping the future of recruiting itself.

This isn’t a traditional recruiting role. Juicebox is an AI sourcing platform used by thousands of recruiters, founders, and talent leaders, which means as our first in‑house recruiter, you’ll become a visible leader in the recruiting community, working at the center of where modern sourcing and AI intersect.

You’ll help shape how we show up externally, through content, community, and candidate experience, to make Juicebox the top destination for top‑tier talent in AI.

Why This Role Is Different

• Shape the future of your own industry: Engage with top talent via LinkedIn, events, and content - you’ll help define how modern recruiting is done by representing the most advanced AI sourcing platform in the market.
• Zero‑to‑one: You’ll create the systems, tooling, and standards that define how Juicebox hires from scratch, and partner directly with product and engineering to make our recruiter‑facing AI even better.
• High leverage: From backend engineers to GTM leads, you’ll recruit across every function. Your work will shape the trajectory of the company, and you’ll see the impact immediately.

You’re a Fit If You…

• Have 5+ years of experience recruiting for technical and non‑technical roles (either in‑house or agency)
• Have a strong personal brand in the recruiting community (e.g., active LinkedIn presence, trusted network, respected by peers)
• Have excellent written and verbal communication - you can make a candidate feel seen and understood
• Thrive in fast‑paced, zero‑to‑one environments
• Care deeply about quality and candidate experience
• Are excited to work in‑office 5 days a week with the team in SF

Nice to Have

• Have worked with early‑stage startups (Seed - Series B) or in‑house at high‑growth companies
• Familiar with AI, SaaS, or B2B talent markets
• Enjoy writing or speaking about hiring, talent, or the future of work
