Job Description: Location : San Francisco, CA, Onsite, Full-Time About the Role
We are on a mission to help teams win the talent war. In the age of AI, human ingenuity is the ultimate scarce resource. Recruiting is a zero-sum game where you either compete or lose. Our platform powers thousands of searches every day for over 3,000 customers, ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies. With $10M in ARR and 20%+ monthly growth, we are one of the fastest-growing AI SaaS companies in the world. We are hiring a Founding Recruiter to help build out our team across both technical and non-technical roles and play a visible role in shaping the future of recruiting itself. This isn't a traditional recruiting role. As our first in-house recruiter, you'll become a visible leader in the recruiting community, working at the intersection of modern sourcing and AI. You'll also help shape how we engage externally through content, community, and candidate experience to become the top destination for top-tier talent. Why This Role Is Different
