About this job

We're looking for our first talent hire. We're planning to hire dozens of people next year across engineering, design, and GTM, and we want someone to own that hiring end to end.

What you'll do

  • Own hiring for every role, from sourcing to close
  • Source candidates via outbound and referrals, and keep pipelines full without relying on inbound
  • Build our hiring process from scratch: interview steps, job descriptions, and how we make decisions
  • Help hiring managers figure out what to look for, especially in roles we've never hired for
  • Run a high-touch candidate experience, including scheduling, onsite logistics, follow-ups, debriefs, and references
  • Keep the team accountable for fast, thorough feedback
  • Work with our recruiting agencies
  • Later on, shape our hiring brand and recruiting events (our most recent one was a magic show!)

Background

  • Full-cycle recruiting experience at both an early-stage startup and a hypergrowth company
  • You've owned hiring for roles on your own, without a big team behind you
  • Experience hiring both engineering and GTM roles; technical recruiters who've also hired GTM are a great fit
  • Outbound sourcing experience
  • Strong organizational and follow-up skills
  • Experience with AI-native tooling and process
  • You don't need to have built a talent function before
  • High agency and always networking

The offer

  • We work in person 5 days a week in our SoHo office
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance for you and all your dependents (FSA and HSA plans available)
  • Lunch daily from the best restaurants in NYC; you choose all the restaurants your first week
  • Unlimited PTO
