## About the role

This is a founding seat, not a fill-the-req seat. Whoever takes this defines how the company hires for years: the bar, the process, the tools, the brand. You'll start as an IC, closing key gaps yourself, but as we scale, there's a genuine opportunity to build and lead the recruiting team you start out running solo. If you've been the strongest recruiter in the room but never had the mandate to build the whole function your way, this is that mandate.

## What they're looking for

- Full-cycle recruiting (sourcing, evaluation, closing) across GTM, engineering/product, and ops
- The recruiting operating system: ATS, interview structure, scorecards, sourcing channels, built from scratch, not inherited
- Direct partnership with the CEO/COO and hiring managers on role scoping and hiring bar: you help set the bar, not just fill against it
- Hiring metrics that actually inform decisions (time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, quality of hire), not vanity throughput numbers
- Candidate experience and employer brand: often a candidate's first real signal of what working here is like
- Sourcing alpha. Knowing what circles the best candidates swim in and generating conversations with great people who might be least likely to apply through LinkedIn
