• Own full-cycle recruiting for our sales organization, and expand into marketing and other business roles as the company grows

• Partner with our founders, executives, and hiring leaders to plan each search and set how we run go-to-market hiring

• Map the market and competitor sales teams to find top performers who aren't looking yet, and run the outbound sourcing that reaches them

• Build a referral program that turns our team's network into a steady source of hires

• Learn our product and sales motion well enough to assess sellers in context, and partner with Marketing on the story we tell go-to-market candidates

• Close top candidates in competitive processes and advise them through their offer decisions

• Coach hiring managers and interviewers on structured interviewing so every candidate is held to the same bar

• Track recruiting metrics like time-to-fill, pass-through rates, and source quality, and use them to adjust searches and report progress to leadership

• A history of closing candidates in competitive processes, backed by clear and persuasive communication

• Comfort running a high volume of open roles at once and switching between searches while keeping the candidate experience high

• You manage hiring managers as clients: you set expectations early and push back with data when a search stalls

• A high bar and a sharp eye for talent, and comfort building process where none exists yet

• Proficiency with AI tools in your day-to-day recruiting work - you've built your own recruiting tools or apps with the latest AI tools

Bonus Points

• Experience with Ashby

• Experience recruiting at a Series A-B company through a period of fast go-to-market growth
