Job description

This is a hands on recruiting role for research and development teams, owning hiring from first outreach to signed offer. A strong candidate has years of full cycle technical recruiting, has personally sourced most of their recent engineering hires, and can hold a real conversation about stacks, levels and system design. They bring numbers to back their track record and treat the process as something to measure and improve weekly.

How it fits the AI era

AI speeds up sourcing and outreach, but the judgment about who is genuinely strong stays with the recruiter. The role hires the engineers who build AI agents for legal teams, so understanding that talent market matters. Closing candidates against bigger offers still depends on human persuasion and a clear story about the problem.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means hiring applied AI and LLM engineers, so the recruiter gains close exposure to how AI products are built and staffed. Experience using AI in one's own recruiting workflow is expected, and that can be built by automating sourcing, outreach and funnel reporting. Prior hiring of AI, ML or LLM engineers would strengthen a candidacy.

Worth showing

• Full cycle technical recruiting
• Direct sourcing of engineers
