About the Role
Rec is at an inflection point, and every hire compounds. We need someone energized by the weight of building a function from scratch, owning talent acquisition across the company from sourcing pipelines to closing offers. This role is for someone who thrives in the zero-to-one, loves the hunt, cares deeply about candidate experience, and brings operational discipline to build a scalable function.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end searches across both Technical & GTM roles.
- Build repeatable outbound sourcing strategies from scratch across channels, referral networks, and community.
- Own Ashby end-to-end: stage configuration, scorecards, communication templates, scheduling, and automations.
- Run a crisp, high-velocity process that respects candidates' time from first outreach through offer.
- Run structured intakes across functions, lead team kickoffs, calibrate throughout the search, and push back constructively when the profile drifts.
- Help craft and carry the narrative that makes top talent choose Rec.
Requirements
- 4–6 years of full-cycle recruiting experience.
- Meaningful in-house experience at a startup (Seed -- Series A/B preferred).
- Proven sourcer with a track record of building pipelines for hard-to-fill roles.
- Experience standing up or overhauling recruiting systems in ambiguous, low-infrastructure environments.
- Strong instincts on talent, evaluating people on trajectory, potential, and culture add.
- Autonomous and decisive, operating well as a team of one.
- Genuinely motivated by the mission to help build something real.
