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 is looking to 2x - 2.5x its team size this year. You will 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 and recruiting platforms), managing pipeline and performance.
Build and improve candidate-facing materials, outreach strategies, and creative sourcing approaches to raise the company's profile with candidates.
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.
- 1-4 years of experience in recruiting, sourcing, or a high-volume candidate-facing role at a startup or recruiting agency that works with startups
- Experience at a startup or a recruiting agency that works with early-stage startups; no pure Big Tech recruiting backgrounds
- Full-cycle recruiting experience (sourcing, screening, closing) with high candidate outreach volume
- Experience hiring both technical (SWE, PM) and non-technical roles
- Experience managing external recruiting agencies or contract recruiters
- Strong sourcing skills: can creatively identify and engage passive candidates
- Clear, concise written communication for outreach, job descriptions, and scorecards
- High ownership and self-direction: operates independently with minimal guidance
- Must work in-person 5 days/week in San Francisco
- No more than about 7 years of experience; this is a junior-to-mid-level IC role, not a Head of People hire
- Top university graduate is a plus but not required
