Lead Recruiter

compensation structures, effective training programs, and executive reporting capabilities - you’ll continually raise the visibility of the work you do and maximize its impact on every aspect of the business! Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have: 5+ years of in-house recruiting experience across multiple disciplines (technical and non-technical), preferably in a fast-paced startup or growth-stage environment. AI fluency as a core competency — proven ability to leverage AI tools to amplify sourcing, outreach, screening, and decision-making, while applying judgment about where AI helps and where it doesn't. We're hiring people who are strong in their domain and know how to scale that strength through AI. Fluency with Ashby and LinkedIn Recruiter (or proven ability to ramp quickly on Ashby — we recently migrated and our system is in active use). Proven ability to own full-cycle recruiting independently — sourcing through coordination, closing, and offer management, with a stakeholder-partnership-first orientation. Strong sourcing capability , including outbound outreach and pipeline building for hard-to-fill roles. Clear, direct communication and exceptional storytelling. You're equally adept at influencing senior stakeholders and selling candidates on a vision. Strong judgment and the ability to maintain a high talent bar under time pressure — there's urgency, and then there's false urgency. You know the difference. A bias toward visibility — working in the open, speaking up in cross-functional spaces, building hiring-manager confidence through engagement, not invisible reliability. Comfort with ambiguity — you're comfortable laying the track when the train is already moving, and always helping our team move faster without sacrificing the integrity of our process.
