About the role

Own every recruiting channel: Run our AI recruiting partners, agencies, sourcing tools, referrals, and inbound as one funnel, so no role depends on a single source. Brief and calibrate partners: Translate each hiring manager’s bar into a clear target profile, give partners fast, specific feedback on every submission, and recalibrate when the shape is off. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Technical recruiting experience: You’ve closed technical hires at a startup (backend, infrastructure, ML, or developer tools) and can talk to an engineer about what they build
  • Partner management: You’ve worked with agencies or sourcing partners and made them better. You can give feedback that changes what they send
  • A real bar: You have opinions about who’s great and you’ll say so to a hiring manager. You’d rather send three great people than twelve fine ones
  • Operational rigor: You run many roles at once without dropping candidates or partners
  • AI-native: You’re fluent in Ashby (or a comparable ATS) and use AI tools every day, from sourcing to screening to writing
  • You close: You understand comp bands and equity well enough to walk a candidate through an offer, and you know when to bring in the hiring manager or a founder
More about this role

You’ll own how Firecrawl hires. Thirty-plus open roles across engineering, research, go-to-market, and G&A, run through a mix of AI recruiting partners, agencies, sourcing tools, and our own outreach. Your job is to run all of it as one system: brief every partner, hold the bar, keep candidates moving, and make sure the right people get to yes. Today the Chief of Staff does this. Starting now, it’s you.

You’ll report to the Chief of Staff and sit on the operations team. You’ll work closely with the Deputy Chief of Staff, who runs the operating layer around hiring (tooling, onboarding kickoff, the weekly hiring digest), and directly with hiring managers across the company. Beyond hiring, you’ll be our recruiter on the ground at Firecrawl After Dark and our hackathons, and you’ll help run events wherever we host them. You’ll be based with us in San Francisco or Toronto, with travel for events.

Job Type: Full-Time
