Lead Recruiter
Macmillan Davies
Lead Recruiter | AI Startup | South Bay Area | On-site | VC Backed
We're partnering with a fast-moving, early-stage AI company to find their next Lead Recruiter, someone who's built and owned a recruiting function before, and is ready to do it again.
You will inherit active reqs, existing processes, and the autonomy to rebuild where you see fit. This is not a coordinator role, a support role, or a slot in a big TA org. You'll be a one-person team, trusted to run full-cycle hiring across engineering, GTM, and operations for a company building and deploying real AI systems.
What You'll Own
- Full-cycle recruiting across active reqs, sourcing, screening, scheduling, closing
- Custom outbound for the hardest technical roles to attract the best talent across the Bay Area
- Construct offers, model equity, and close candidates against competing options
- Clean pipelines, structured scorecards, and fast scheduling in Ashby
- Partner with hiring managers and ops on each new hire's Day 1 to make sure they ramp fast
- Collaborate with hiring managers to build and calibrate structured interview rubrics
- Run data-informed debriefs, and maintain a consistent, high bar across every hiring loop.
Your Background
5 years plus experience as a founding recruiter or owned a function at an early-stage startup. You will also have closed hard technical hires and figured it out without a playbook. You're the person who gets things done, and people notice.
Bonus if you've recruited in the deep-tech space and if you've scaled a Series A/B startup past 200 headcount.
The Details
- South Bay SF, CA 5 days a week in-office (relocation considered)
- Early-stage AI company
If this sounds like the role you've been waiting to step back into, let's talk.
