## About the role

We’re hiring our first in-house recruiter— someone who will personally lead our most important searches while building the recruiting function around them. You will own recruiting end to end across business, scientific, and engineering roles, from defining talent profiles and sourcing exceptional candidates through interviews, offers, and close. You’ll work directly with Phylo’s founders and hiring managers to build a rigorous, fast, and distinctly human hiring process.

## What they're looking for

- A versatile, high-caliber recruiter. You have at least five years of experience and a track record of personally sourcing and closing exceptional business, scientific, and engineering talent in a high-bar, fast-moving environment
- A builder and operator. You have created recruiting processes, interview systems, tooling, or employer-brand programs from an early stage. Experience as an early or founding recruiter is especially valuable
- Excellent judgment and partnership skills. You recognize capability beyond credentials, learn unfamiliar domains quickly, and can challenge and calibrate hiring managers without adding unnecessary friction
- High agency and an AI-native approach. You take ownership from diagnosis through execution, communicate clearly, and use AI, automation, and modern recruiting tools to improve your reach, speed, and effectiveness
