Head of Talent Acquisition
The Role
You'll be our dedicated talent acquisition professional running the entire hiring process from strategy to offer. This is a hands-on role where you own everything - sourcing, screening, process design, and candidate experience.
Perfect for someone who wants full ownership of Talent Acquisition at a growing startup rather than being one piece of a larger recruiting team.
What You'll Do
Source and engage top candidates using LinkedIn Recruiter, WellFound, and creative techniques
Conduct screening interviews and manage full candidate pipelines
Design job posts that generate quality applications
Build hiring workflows and interview processes using Ashby ATS
Partner directly with founders and team leads on hiring strategy
Create our employer brand and candidate experience standards
Requirements
7+ years of talent acquisition or recruiting experience
Proficiency with LinkedIn Recruiter and Boolean search techniques
Experience with modern ATS systems (Ashby preferred)
Full-cycle recruiting experience from sourcing to offer
Strong interviewing and candidate evaluation skills
Startup or high-growth environment experience preferred
Why You'll Love This Role
Real Tools & Budget: LinkedIn Recruiter access, WellFound, Ashby ATS, plus budget for additional sourcing tools.
Direct Impact: Every hire shapes our company trajectory. Work directly with leadership on talent strategy.
Skill Development: Build expertise across the full recruiting spectrum in a fast-moving environment.
Growth Path: Natural progression to senior TA roles as we scale and expand the team.
Additionally
This is demanding work, perfect for someone who thrives on variety and ownership. You'll solve unique challenges daily and wear multiple hats.
If you prefer specialized roles or large team structures, this isn't the right fit.
Competitive Package: We offer market-competitive compensation aligned with local talent acquisition rates for professionals with your level of experience and expertise.
Professional Development: Direct mentorship from experienced founders and senior leaders who are invested in accelerating your career growth and expanding your strategic thinking.
Growth Investment: As we scale, you'll have first access to senior leadership opportunities, equity participation, and the chance to build and lead your own talent acquisition team.
