Founding Recruiter
Talent Vine
Founding Recruiter (Onsite – New York City)
We're partnering with several fast-growing startups in NYC looking for their first in-house recruiter — someone excited to help build teams from the ground up and shape how recruiting is done as the company scales.
This is a high-impact role for a recruiter who loves working directly with founders, thrives in fast-moving environments, and wants to see their work translate into real company growth. We're also open to agency recruiters who are ready to transition in house — if you've been curious about joining a startup, this is your chance to step into a founding role where you'll have ownership, visibility, and tons of runway to grow.
What you'll do:
- Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to design and execute hiring strategies across key functions
- Build the recruiting engine from scratch — process, tooling, metrics, and candidate experience
- Experiment with sourcing, outreach, and branding approaches that reflect each company's personality
- Embrace recruiting tools and AI-driven workflows to work smarter, faster, and with better insight
- Track and report on pipeline metrics to help the team make data-informed decisions
Who you are:
- You've recruited for high-caliber talent in tech, startup, or agency settings
- You're tech-savvy, not afraid of new tools or AI — in fact, you're excited to lean in and use them to become even better at what you do
- You love experimenting, measuring what works, and iterating quickly
- You're energized by being onsite, collaborating with founders and teammates every day
- You're organized, resourceful, and thrive when building something from zero to one
Location: Onsite in New York City (multiple openings with early-stage clients)
If you're passionate about helping visionary teams scale — and want to be part of the early chapters of something ambitious — we'd love to meet you.
