Requirements

What This Role Requires (The Filters)

7+ Years Mixed Recruitment Experience: Proven track record of hiring both Technical (Dev/Product) and Commercial (Sales/CS) roles in the B2B SaaS space.

The "Builder" Mindset: We operate in a dynamic environment where not everything is templated. You must be comfortable "Filling the Gap"—creating processes and solving problems on the fly rather than waiting for instructions.

Operational Readiness: You must be willing to handle the "weeds" of recruitment operations. If you view scheduling, background checks, or onboarding logistics as administrative work beneath you, this role is not a fit.

Local Presence: You must be on-site in Chicago, IL to foster high-bandwidth collaboration with leadership.

The Reality of This Role

High Performance: We are a bootstrapped, profitable team where output matters. You will be expected to deliver results (hires) without a large support staff or agency reliance.

Global Flexibility: You will coordinate with our offshore engineering teams (India), which requires the flexibility to work early mornings or evenings to unblock team communication.

Direct Accountability: You will not be micromanaged. "People are busy... don't expect them to follow up." You are expected to own your metrics and drive the schedule.
