Job summary

Hike Medical in San Francisco is seeking its first dedicated talent hire to own recruiting end to end, spanning sourcing, pipeline, process, closing and candidate experience. You will be a full-cycle recruiter for engineers, GTM, clinical, and operations as we scale.

As we grow, this role evolves into leading the talent function, with direct collaboration with the CEO and founders, and the potential to become Head of Talent.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with meaningful time in-house at a startup
• You have closed hard searches yourself: technical roles, senior leaders, or competitive markets
• Sourcing is a strength, not a chore. You can show pipelines you built from cold outreach.
• Strong writer and communicator. Candidates should leave every touchpoint more excited than they arrived.
• Organized enough to run 6+ searches at once without dropping candidates
• Judgment on people. You will be the first filter on everyone who joins this company.
• Ambition to lead. This role becomes Head of Talent as we scale.
• In person in San Francisco

Responsibilities

• Run full-cycle recruiting for open roles across engineering, GTM, clinical, and operations
• Source relentlessly. The best people we hire will not apply through a job board
• Partner directly with the CEO and hiring managers to scope roles, calibrate bars, and close candidates
• Own the ATS (Ashby), pipeline metrics, and interview process quality
• Build the machinery: structured interviews, scorecards, referral programs, employer brand
• Tell the Hike story well enough that a staff engineer at a hot AI company takes your call
• Manage agencies and contract recruiters when searches call for them
• Over time, hire and lead recruiters as headcount demands grow
