Fractional AI builds bespoke gen AI software to transform businesses. About Fractional AI
Fractional AI builds bespoke gen AI software to transform businesses.
Every C-suite in the country is trying to bridge the gap between AI in theory and AI in practice. We close this gap with exceptional engineering talent and custom end-to-end AI builds (see some of our case studies to learn more).
We’re a San Francisco and NYC-based, engineering-first startup that’s profitable—with over 100% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth—and we’re just getting started.
About The Role
Our talent is our product. Customers choose Fractional AI because we offer elite engineering expertise to build tailored gen AI solutions.
As our Head of Talent, you’ll be at the heart of building our most critical asset: our team. You’ll own and scale the recruiting function: developing systems, designing process, and hiring top-tier talent. From Day 1, this is a player-coach role – hands-on recruiting blended with strategic leadership.
What you’ll do:
Lead and grow a small but mighty TA team Champion an uncompromising bar for talent with an exceptional candidate experience Build the systems for an inclusive, white-glove, AI-native recruiting operation: tools, systems, playbooks, reporting Serve as a full-cycle recruiter for high-priority technical and go-to-market roles Partner closely with hiring managers and founders to deeply understand needs and priorities Serve as the ultimate Fractional AI ambassador and craft our employer brand
What you bring to the table:
Experience leading talent acquisition in early-stage and/or engineering-led organizations Strong people management skills and the ability to inspire trust and followership Deep understanding of technical recruiting, technical fluency, and strong judgement for what “great” looks like A data-driven approach with a bias for experimentation and improvement Track record of building efficient, scalable recruiting operations and infrastructure Comfort rolling up your sleeves and sourcing, screening, and closing candidates - you’re a doer, not an armchair strategist Ability to expertly influence internally and externally A desire to win with an incredible team
Why you should (and shouldn’t) join us
We believe in transparency and know joining a company is a big decision. We’re not the best fit for everyone and try to be clear on what we are and what we’re not so you make the choice that’s right for you.
Why join Fractional?
Incredible momentum with veteran founders: we’re profitable, with >100% quarter over quarter revenue growth, and on track to 4x the team this year. We’re led by multi-time founders with multiple exits under their belts. A front-row seat to the AI revolution: Getting AI into production is the challenge of our time, and Fractional AI is the go-to applied AI engineering team for top companies, giving you unparalleled access to how AI is changing the world. Greenspace to build: You’re getting in on the ground floor with unparalleled opportunity for impact. We have a high autonomy culture, giving you the space to set and execute your vision.
Why shouldn't you join Fractional?
We are unapologetically building an engineering-first culture – this is how we build the team to meet the moment. We overdeliver for our clients by crafting a culture that enables the best engineers to thrive. We hold a very high bar. This is a perfect role if you’re motivated by challenge. We’re looking for the top 1% of engineers in SF and NYC, and we won’t compromise that bar, ever. We’re a team of doers. For the right person, this is a pro, not a con, but this is a hands-on leadership role: source candidates and define our strategy for establishing our employer brand in a new market in the same afternoon.
Snapshot of your first 30 days:
Review our current headcount plan and hiring philosophy. Jump into outbound sourcing for critical roles – from experimenting with outbound email campaigns to joining in-person AI meetups. Extend your first offer. Chart the roadmap for the TA team and systems to 6x in 18 months – start executing it. Implement 5+ improvements to our current process. Engage with all things life at Fractional AI - AI lunch and learns, monthly happy hours, AI project shares.
Our Values
We overdeliver.
We overuse AI.
We “over engineer” the culture.
