The Role

• This is not a traditional recruiting role focused solely on process management.
• The recruiter is expected to run a "flywheel": source, screen, and close candidates, then rebuild the funnel for the next role.
• The role requires proactive sourcing, not just managing inbound applications.
• The recruiter must be able to sell the company, the role, and the growth trajectory to candidates, and negotiate offers assertively.
• Speed and adaptability are essential; calibration with hiring managers should happen in days, not weeks.
• The recruiter must be resourceful and able to figure out new tools, geographies, and role types independently.

What We Are Looking For

• Intense, driven, and operated with urgency, understanding the critical impact of each hire.
• Prior experience in in-house recruiting at a fast-moving startup, with a clear understanding of high standards.
• Strong outbound sourcing skills; inbound is a bonus, but outbound is the core responsibility.
• Proven ability to close candidates and negotiate offers confidently.
• Fast learner who can quickly adapt to new challenges and requirements.
• Self-sufficient and solution-oriented, with a default approach of figuring things out independently.

How We Work

• We prioritize making decisions quickly over waiting for perfect answers.
• Communication is transparent and public-first; private channels are discouraged.
• Team members are expected to bring solutions along with problems.
• Intensity and effort are maintained consistently, not just during high-pressure periods.
• Internal competition is encouraged; strong performers set new standards.
• This is a role for builders, not for those looking to coast.

Behaviors That Lead to Quick Removal

• Engaging in office politics, blame-shifting, or gossip.
• Taking direct feedback personally instead of constructively.
• Creating unnecessary overhead rather than streamlining processes.
• Failing to follow through promptly after committing to deadlines.
