Job description

Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1000+ customers in 58+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

Role Overview

As a senior member of our growing talent team, you’ll report to the Head of Business Recruiting and lead full-cycle recruitment across our business functions (e.g., Sales, HR, Legal, Finance, etc.). You’ll serve as a strategic talent partner to senior leaders, driving hiring strategies that align with company objectives and long-term workforce planning.

In addition to delivering top-tier talent, you’ll play a critical role in elevating and scaling our recruiting operations during a period of rapid growth. This includes influencing hiring decisions through data and market insights, mentoring junior recruiters, optimizing processes, and helping shape best-in-class talent practices. You’ll be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, proactively identify talent gaps, and build strong pipelines for both immediate and future needs.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as a strategic talent partner to senior leaders and hiring managers, shaping hiring plans and advising on effective, data-driven recruiting strategies aligned to business goals.
• Own and drive full-cycle recruiting for complex and high-impact business roles across GTM, G&A, and operations functions.
• Proactively source and engage top-tier, often passive, talent through creative and targeted outreach strategies across multiple channels.
• Lead calibrated screening and structured interview processes, ensuring rigor, consistency, and high hiring bar standards.
• Provide clear, consultative updates to stakeholders, influencing decision-making through market insights, pipeline data, and talent trends.
• Deliver an exceptional, high-touch candidate experience from initial outreach through close, serving as a brand ambassador for the company.
• Drive continuous improvement of recruiting workflows, interview practices, and documentation; identify and implement scalable solutions.
• Partner closely with People, Finance, and leadership to support workforce planning and headcount forecasting.

What You Have

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including ownership of senior-level business roles in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate as a trusted advisor rather than a transactional recruiter.
• Strong experience hiring for business-side functions (e.g., GTM, G&A, operations), including strategic and leadership-level roles.
• Proven track record of building and executing sourcing strategies that yield high-quality, diverse candidate pipelines.
• Deep understanding of recruiting metrics, funnel analytics, and market insights, with the ability to translate data into action.
• Proactive, adaptable, and solutions-oriented, with a continuous improvement mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience mentoring or coaching junior team members.
• Experience implementing or optimizing recruiting systems and processes.
• Familiarity with tools like Ashby, Gem, Notion, Slack, and Google Workspace to drive efficient and scalable recruiting operations.
