Job description

About Genius AI

Genius AI is building technology to help local businesses run themselves. Genius AI products do the admin work that keeps practitioners from the work they love and the people they serve. From GlossGenius to Reception, its products work 24/7 on busywork like booking, marketing, client management, finances, staff and inventory management, and more.

Genius AI technology has saved businesses 106M in admin hours, earned them $2.0B in additional revenue, and facilitated more than 624M client touch points.

About the Role

What Genius AI can build for customers comes down to the caliber of the people on our Product, Design, and Engineering teams, and caliber like that doesn't come from posting a job and waiting. It comes from a unique sourcing strategy: knowing where the best people are, how to reach them, and how to get them excited about what we’re building before they’re even looking. That’s what this role is. You won’t just be moving candidates through a pipeline; you’ll be building the strategy that fills it in the first place. The bar is high because the stakes are high; every hire on these teams either raises our talent density or lowers it.

You will report to our Senior Manager, Technical Recruiting. You must be commutable to our NYC headquarters and will operate in an in-person environment. We default to being in-office 3–4 days per week with required attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What You’ll Do

• Build and run the sourcing strategy for Engineering, Product, and Design roles, mapping out where the best talent actually is and how to reach them before they're even looking

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ year of experience in a recruiting agency, tech startup, hedge fund, or investment bank, with exposure to high-volume, fast-moving processes

• Already rebuilt how you operate using AI, whether that’s automating a repetitive task, building a personal workflow, or using it to move faster than your peers

• Genuinely energized by people and by AI, and curious about how the two intersect in how companies hire

• Highly organized with sharp attention to detail, able to manage a high volume of requisitions without letting candidates or hiring managers fall through

• Sharp written and verbal communication skills, with the instinct to adjust tone for a candidate, a hiring manager, or an executive

• Insatiably curious, asking questions until you actually understand the "why" behind a role or a process

Benefits & Perks

• In-office lunch twice per week for NYC and SF employees, plus late night dinner stipends

• Access to Wellhub, a corporate wellness platform with discounted gym memberships, fitness classes, and mental health resources
