Research Recruiter - Frontier AI Lab || $350k plus Bonus & Equity

A frontier AI lab is building general-purpose world models: causal, interactive, real-time simulations. Not video generation, but actual simulation with a persistent world state, real-time interactivity, and agent-readiness. The team is ~50 people, scaling towards 150, and well-funded by tier-1 VCs and strategic corporate investors. They're hiring a recruiter to focus purely on research talent, the people building the world models themselves. What you'll do Own full-lifecycle research searches: source, engage, close against every other frontier lab competing for the same small pool of people. Source where researchers actually are: papers (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, RSS, CoRL), GitHub, citation graphs, lab alumni networks, not keyword spam. Build the research-hiring process from the ground up: pipelines, calibration with research leadership, and an employer-brand story that earns replies from people who ignore recruiters. Run a clean Ashby pipeline and report on it before anyone asks. What we're looking for In-house or embedded recruiting at an AI or deep-tech company. An existing researcher network. High agency and clock speed. You move without waiting for permission. You use AI tools in your own workflow every day and can demonstrate it. You can have a real conversation with a researcher about their work and compete with labs that have deeper pockets. #J-18808-Ljbffr This is Growth
