About the Company
Our client is a fast‑growing Series A startup in San Francisco using AI to transform how businesses operate. After closing their Series A, they’re entering a high‑growth phase — scaling the team 4× over the next year.
About the Role
As the first in‑house recruiter , you’ll be both an individual contributor and an architect of the recruiting function. You’ll own full‑cycle recruiting for technical & GTM roles, manage agencies and sourcing platforms, and partner closely with founders and investors to identify and close top talent.
Responsibilities
- Own end‑to‑end recruiting for technical & GTM roles across engineering, product, design .
- Develop and execute a scalable recruiting strategy that supports a 4× team expansion — typically managing 8–12 open roles at once.
- Directly source and close top talent, with a clear track record of delivering 10–15 hires per year.
- Build and optimize the recruiting process — from job descriptions and interview loops to candidate experience and time‑to‐fill metrics.
- Drive inclusive hiring practices, ensuring diverse candidate pipelines and equitable processes.
- Partner with leadership on headcount planning, org design, and evolving business needs.
- Provide market intelligence — compensation benchmarking, competitive landscape, and insights on how to position startups vs. big tech.
- Develop and manage sourcing channels — direct sourcing, agency partnerships, investor networks, and sourcing platforms like Paraform.
- Track and analyze recruiting performance, defining and reporting KPIs such as source of hire, conversion rates, and time to fill.
- Champion employer branding and storytelling, helping candidates understand the impact, momentum, and equity upside of joining a fast‑moving startup.
- Eventually build and lead the recruiting team — defining roles, playbooks, and culture for a world‑class hiring function.
Qualifications
- 5‑10+ years of full‑cycle recruiting experience in high‑growth startups (Series A–E), ideally in AI, SaaS, or deep tech .
Required Skills and Experience
- Proven ability to source and close 10–15 hires per year in competitive markets.
- Deep understanding of startup talent markets and what attracts candidates to early‑stage opportunities.
- Prior experience working for a top‑tier VC‑backed company .
- Comfortable being both strategic and hands‑on — you can design systems and run searches yourself.
- Skilled in market positioning and storytelling — selling the mission, team, and growth trajectory over brand‑name safety.
- Experience with recruiting tools like Ashby, Greenhouse, Gem, HireEZ , or similar ATS and sourcing platforms.
- Strong operational mindset: track metrics, identify bottlenecks, and continuously improve processes.
- Experience managing agency partnerships and contingent recruiters.
- Thrive in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments; scrappy and biased toward action.
Preferred Skills
- Bonus: Experience building or leading a recruiting function, or stepping into a Head of Talent role.
