About the role
We are looking for a talent Lead with 1-5 years of experience to own full-cycle recruiting at a fast-growing construction tech startup that's looking to 2-2.5x its team size this year. You'll report directly to the CEO and be the driving force behind every hire — from sourcing and screening to closing — across both technical and non-technical roles.
What will you be doing?
- Own end-to-end recruiting: sourcing, screening, and closing candidates across engineering, product, design, and go-to-market roles
- Act as the primary point of contact for external recruiting partners (e.g., agencies, platforms like paraform), managing pipeline and performance
- Build and improve candidate-facing materials, outreach strategies, and creative sourcing hacks to get agave's name out there
- Partner directly with the CEO and hiring managers to calibrate on profiles, refine role requirements, and close top candidates
- Design and optimize recruiting processes, tools, and systems to scale hiring without lowering the bar
Key Requirements
- Experience at a startup or a recruiting agency that works with early-stage startups — no pure Big Tech recruiting backgrounds
- Must work in-person 5 days/week in San Francisco (SoMa office)
- High ownership and ability to operate independently with minimal guidance — this is a build-from-scratch function
- Strong written communication skills for outreach, job descriptions, and candidate engagement
- No more than ~7 years of experience — this is a junior-to-mid-level IC role, not a Head of People hire
