## About the role

You are Harper's first dedicated recruiting hire. You source, sell, and close exceptional people yourself this week — and you build the function that lets Harper go from ~30 to 100+ without losing the bar. Close candidates yourself. Source, screen, sell, and close across engineering, sales, and GTM. You own the funnel end to end.

## What they're looking for

- A closer with a technical background — years recruiting engineers, with offers to prove it
- You've scaled recruiting through rapid growth , not just done early-stage setup — you know the ebbs and flows from Series A through C and what breaks at each stage
- You've built systems, not just filled roles , and you think about what fails at 10x
- You have tenure and depth — 2–3 year in-house stints where you saw real scale, not a string of short stops
- You move at founder speed. You close great candidates this week, not next month
- You can sell the reality honestly — an intense, loud, collaborative, on-site trading-floor culture — to the people who want exactly that
