About the role

Paraform is disrupting how companies hire — and we're looking for someone to help us hire the best people to do it. We're looking for an experienced, high-powered Founding Technical Recruiter who lives and breathes talent and is an expert working with early stage and high growth startups. You'll primarily be focused on sourcing top 1% talent to join the Paraform team, driving a culture of excellence, and supporting the company with everything else hiring-related as we rapidly scale.

What they're looking for

  • 3–5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience for technical roles, ideally with time spent in-house at a high-growth startup
  • Proven track record closing strong candidates in a competitive market
  • Deep sourcing chops — you're not waiting on inbound, you know how to find people and get them interested
  • High ownership mentality and comfort operating without a playbook
  • Builder mindset — excited to create process and structure where there isn't any
  • Familiarity with the recruiting industry or marketplace businesses is a plus (and genuinely interesting to us)
