Founding Recruiter
Lassie
Lassie is building AI for health practices, transforming a $1T industry still run on paper into one powered by automation. We are growing fast, are the technology leader, and the love our early customers have for the product has us on track to become a unicorn next year by serving thousands of customers. Founded by Steijn Pelle (repeat founder, helped Robinhood and Coinbase grow to their first hundreds of millions in annual revenue) and Frédéric Renken (engineer turned first product hire at Superhuman), Lassie is now building out the Series A team. The early team has seen what great looks like before and wants to do it again. About the role We’re hiring a Founding Recruiter to build our entire talent acquisition function.
