Role: If you've outgrown req filling and want a seat at the strategy table, this will feel like an upgrade. This is not a backfill. This is a 0-to-1 role that will shape how we hire and build for the next three years. You won't just close roles here; you'll design how hiring happens for a fast-scaling product company.

Elevate candidate experience and tighten hiring funnels, from first touch to onboarding.
What You Bring
812 years of full-stack recruiting experience, with strong exposure to high-growth / startup or product-first environments.
A strong track record of closing technical roles (backend, frontend, DevOps, data, architects, EMs) and business roles (product, growth, sales, strategy).
Proven success as a senior individual contributor recruitercomfortable owning searches end-to-end without a large team.
You think like a talent strategist: you read org design, understand business models, and advise on who to hire and when.
You communicate with clarity, tell a compelling story, and know how to convert passive talent into enthusiastic candidates.
Why is this role special
Direct access to founders, CXOs, and functional leadersyour work is visible and business-critical.
Freedom to experiment with tools, channels, and playbooks instead of being boxed into legacy processes.
Opportunity to evolve into Head of Talent as the company and team scale.
