About the Role

We're hiring a Founding Talent Partner to build and scale recruiting at a fast-growing stealth robotics company. This is the first dedicated recruiting hire and an opportunity to build the talent function from the ground up. You'll partner directly with founders and senior leaders to define hiring strategy, design recruiting processes, and attract exceptional talent across technical, operational, and leadership functions. As the organization enters a period of accelerated growth, you'll play a critical role in shaping both the team and the candidate experience.

Responsibilities

Own Full Cycle Recruiting — Lead hiring across technical, GTM, operations, and leadership roles simultaneously.
Strategic Sourcing — Go beyond traditional, volume driven sourcing to identify overlooked talent, build lasting relationships, and create repeatable sourcing strategies.
Leadership Partnership — Collaborate with founders and hiring managers to clarify hiring priorities, align on ideal candidate profiles, and build a structured, effective interview process.
Employer Brand — Shape the employer brand and candidate experience, from initial outreach through offer.
ATS & System Optimization — Own and optimize our ATS infrastructure (Ashby), scorecards, and pipeline analytics to ensure a scalable hiring process.
Hiring Health & Insights — Monitor funnel health (pass-through rates, time-to-hire, rejection themes) and turn those insights into better, faster hiring decisions.
Team Leadership — Coach current stakeholders and, as the company scales, hire and develop a recruiting team.

Requirements

Bring 6+ years of full cycle recruiting, preferably in fast moving startups or technical environments.
Have built or significantly shaped a recruiting function and can define the bar while scaling it.
Excel at generating pipelines early: you uncover overlooked candidates and use creative approaches to keep funnels full.
Work comfortably with modern tools and AI enabled workflows, using them to increase leverage and speed without sacrificing judgment.
Show grit, humility, and steady maturity: you give candid feedback when needed, stay composed, and protect the candidate experience.
Learn quickly and create new playbooks when the old ones don’t apply.
Communicate crisply with a strong, client-facing style; fluent written and spoken English.
Able to collaborate on Pacific Time, with occasional evening or weekend conversations as needed.
Background in deep tech and/or hardware recruiting is a bonus, not a requirement.
