About the role

We're hiring our first full-time recruiter. We have foundational processes and systems and you'll continue to build Talent Acquisition into a world class function: the process, the tools, the employer brand and the candidate experience. We build software for people who run HR, so how we hire is a test of what we believe. We deeply care about candidate experience and this role will help our values show up at every stage, from the first outreach to the offer call. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting, including at least 2 years at an early-stage, venture-backed startup. Ideally you were an early or founding recruiter there
  • A track record of building recruiting from scratch: process, tools, metrics and employer brand, not just running an existing playbook
  • Deep technical sourcing expertise, with a proven track record of hiring exceptional senior software engineers, AI/ML researchers, and technical product leaders who weren't actively looking
  • Good judgment about people. You can tell excellent from merely impressive, and you push back with hiring managers when it matters
  • Experience setting up an ATS such as Ashby, Greenhouse or Lever, ability to evaluate technical skills and calibrate with engineering leadership, and comfort leveraging AI tools and automation in your sourcing workflow
  • You care about candidate experience and know that how a company hires tells candidates who it is
More about this role

Sol is an agentic HR system built for how work is changing. We're replacing the traditional HRIS with an AI-native foundation. We are built for change, designed to scale, and reimagined with AI from the ground up, so HR leaders get a clear view of their workforce instead of a system everyone works around.

At Sol, we're guided by three things: people: we hire driven, humble people and build to amplify their potential and our customers'; imagination: we challenge assumptions about our industry and how software gets built, then move fast once we've decided; and durability: we sweat the details to build a company that is meant to last. Day to day, that shows up as a bias toward writing things down over meetings, async communication by default, and flexible hours that respect how differently everyone works. We try new things, kill what isn't working, and hold a high bar without the politics or ego that slow good decisions down.

Sol was founded by leaders who spent decades building the modern HR category, and is backed by Sutter Hill Ventures and NEA. Our first customers go live in early 2027 and we need you to make them wildly successful.
