About the role
We need a seasoned in-house GTM recruiter with 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience at high-growth startups who has personally sourced, closed, and retained exceptional talent across sales, marketing, and operations functions. You should be comfortable operating as the sole GTM recruiting function in a chaotic, hypergrowth environment and have a track record of building talent pipelines from scratch that directly accelerate revenue growth. Bonus points if you've recruited for companies selling technical infrastructure or developer-tools products.
What you'll do
- Own full-cycle hiring for every GTM and Ops role at Blacksmith - Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Marketing, Finance, and the business-side hires that keep the company running
- Build outbound sourcing from scratch. We have a limited employer brand, so the pipeline comes from narrow, well-researched headhunting, our own customers, and your network
- Partner directly with the founders to define what "exceptional" looks like for each role: we set an extremely high bar for talent and need a hiring process that ensures we meet this bar as we scale
- Own the hiring process with urgency - you’ll balance exceptional quality with speed. Velocity is key to how we hire
- Be the expert advisor in the business - market trends, talent opportunities/challenges, tradeoffs. You should be able to operate as a consultant to the business
- Build out our network and brand. Look for ways to engage with passive talent and build out opportunities to convert candidates through longer term, strategic sequences
