Senior AI/ML Talent Recruiter: Full-Cycle Impact

AssemblyAI, Inc.; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 170,000 - 200,000; Full time

Job summary

AssemblyAI builds the foundational speech models behind the Voice AI products our customers build. The people who train those models and build the systems that serve them are essential hires for this growth phase, and we’re hiring a Senior Technical Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for ML researchers and senior engineers.

You’ll build outbound pipelines, partner with leaders to define profiles, run rigorous screens, and close on equity-heavy offers, while scaling interview processes across

Qualifications

• 5+ years of technical recruiting, with a track record of hiring ML researchers, research engineers, or ML/infrastructure engineers at AI labs, AI-native startups, or top tech companies
• A strong outbound sourcing practice and a network in the ML/AI research community
• Enough technical fluency to talk credibly about model training, evaluation, and inference with researchers, and to tell a strong profile from a keyword match
• Experience closing senior, sought-after candidates against competing offers, including equity-heavy packages
• Comfort with Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, JuiceBox (or similar), and modern AI sourcing tools
• Self-direction: you find the highest-impact work and do it without waiting to be asked

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting for Research and senior Engineering roles, from intake through offer and close
• Build deep, outbound-first pipelines: map talent at frontier labs, speech and audio teams, and academic groups; track publications, open-source contributors, and conference speakers
• Partner with research and engineering leaders to define profiles, calibrate on bar, and design quality, efficient interview loops
• Run thoughtful screens with technical candidates and give hiring managers sharp, evidence-based reads
• Lead complex closes: competing offers from large labs, equity conversations, and international candidates, in partnership with the People team
• Build long-term relationships with candidates who aren’t ready to move yet
• Use data and AI tooling to work faster: smarter sourcing, cleaner Greenhouse pipelines, and clear reporting on funnel health
• Help the team scale: interviewer training, structured kits, and a candidate experience that reflects how much we care about the work
