About the role
About the Role
A B2B SaaS startup is seeking its first dedicated talent hire to own recruiting end to end. You will build hiring pipelines across technical and non-technical teams, partnering closely with company leadership as the organization grows.
What You'll Do
Build candidate pipelines from scratch, focusing initially on engineering roles and expanding to go-to-market and other functions.
Manage the candidate lifecycle, including outreach, screening, interview coordination, and closing.
Provide a thoughtful, warm candidate experience throughout the process.
Partner with company leadership to define role requirements and calibrate candidate expectations.
Support light people operations, including offer letters and recruiting process improvements.
What We're Looking For
At least 4 years of technical recruiting experience, including hiring software engineers at a high-growth B2B SaaS startup.
Experience as an in-house recruiter at an early-stage or scaling startup, ideally as the first or only recruiter.
A track record of owning end-to-end engineering recruitment, including proactive sourcing of passive candidates and closing.
Comfort building pipelines without relying on a prominent brand or heavy inbound interest.
Experience with Ashby or a similar modern applicant tracking system is helpful.
Consistent role tenure and a warm, thoughtful approach to candidates and stakeholders.
Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: $150,000 to $235,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site, five days per week in San Francisco, California.
