## About the role

Allocate is hiring its first dedicated, in-house technical recruiter — someone who can walk in and immediately own the full cycle recruiting for our engineering, product, and design teams, not just run playbooks handed down by someone else. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in talent acquisition, with direct experience owning recruiting across EPD functions (Engineering, Product, Data/Research, Design)
- A track record designing and deploying structured interviewing practices — not just running them, but building the frameworks (behavioral question banks, scorecards, interviewer training) from scratch
- Experience evaluating and deploying AI-powered sourcing and recruiting tools (and a desire to keep experimenting) to extend what a lean talent function can do
- Experience managing or coordinating external recruiting partners/agencies alongside internal pipelines
- A track record building talent/employer branding and talent communities — proactive candidate pipelines and employer positioning that generate inbound interest and shorten future searches
- Experience building consistent, scalable talent operations — the workflows, reporting, and process infrastructure that keep a recruiting function scalable and consistent
