Head of Talent Acquisition

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the complete hiring process across the organization — including engineering, product, sales, customer success, growth, operations, and leadership positions.

• Establish the talent function from the ground up: set up the ATS, create sourcing infrastructure, develop interview rubrics, scorecards, calibration processes, and reporting mechanisms.

• Manage full-cycle recruiting independently — including sourcing, outreach, screening, coordinating, and closing — until the hiring volume warrants additional support.

• Collaborate directly with the founder and hiring managers to define role specifications, calibrate expectations, and expedite the process without compromising quality.

• Develop a proactive sourcing engine that does not depend on inbound methods — utilizing outbound strategies, referrals, community engagement, and innovative channels.

• Oversee the candidate experience from start to finish, from the initial contact to offer acceptance, reflecting our company’s operational values.

• Enhance and evolve our employer brand and hiring narrative as the company grows.

• Leverage AI extensively throughout the recruiting process — in sourcing, screening, personalized outreach, scheduling, and pipeline analytics.

• Apply data-driven approaches to hiring: monitor pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-hire, source-of-hire, and quality-of-hire metrics.

• Establish the groundwork for a future talent team — creating the systems, processes, and standards that will enable us to scale hiring by tenfold.

⛳️ Requirements

• A minimum of 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with significant time spent in high-growth startups (from Seed to Series B/C).

• A proven history of successfully hiring across various functions — with experience in closing senior engineers, GTM leaders, and customer success roles, rather than focusing on just one area.

• A founding-recruiter mindset — you have either built a talent function from the ground up or are eager to do so, without needing an existing playbook to be effective.

• Outstanding sourcing skills — capable of identifying and engaging passive talent without relying on agencies or inbound applicants.

• Strong closing abilities — you understand candidate psychology, can navigate competing offers, and consistently secure top-tier hires.

• An AI-first approach — your instinct is to utilize AI to optimize sourcing, outreach, screening, and operations; you actively explore new tools and workflows.

• High judgment regarding talent — you maintain a sharp internal benchmark and can quickly align it with a hiring manager's requirements.

• Comfortable working in situations with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and direct feedback from the founder.

• A bias towards speed without sacrificing quality — you execute hires as efficiently as our engineers deliver code.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation, equity options, and a strong commitment to your personal and professional development.
