Talent Lead

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential AI technology company in their search for a hands-on Talent Lead to build and own their recruiting function from the ground up. This is a remote role where you'll personally drive hiring across the organization, establish scalable processes, and partner closely with leadership to shape the team.

You'll work across multiple functions—including go-to-market, operations, research, and product—sourcing, screening, and closing candidates while building the infrastructure that will support the company's growth. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to see their systems take root quickly.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end hiring process, including sourcing, screening, interviewing, and offer negotiation
• Personally recruit candidates across go-to-market, operations, research, product, and engineering teams
• Build hiring infrastructure from scratch: interview loops, scorecards, pipelines, and candidate tracking systems
• Collaborate with hiring managers to define role requirements, candidate profiles, and hiring priorities
• Lead international recruiting efforts across the US, EU, UK, and additional markets as the company scales
• Establish and maintain recruiting metrics including pipeline conversion, time-to-hire, source performance, and offer acceptance rates
• Use data to identify process bottlenecks and continuously optimize the candidate experience
• Develop strong sourcing channels across different functions and geographies
• Partner with leadership on long-term talent planning and strategic hiring decisions
• Represent the organization throughout the candidate journey and build a strong employer brand

What We're Looking For

• Several years of experience running recruiting at a startup, ideally in an early-stage or high-growth environment
• Proven track record of personally hiring a significant number of candidates and owning the full recruiting cycle
• Experience building recruiting processes and operations from the ground up
• Background hiring across multiple functions: GTM, operations, research, product, and engineering
• Experience with international hiring across multiple countries and markets
• Comfort working directly with leadership and senior hiring managers
• Strong data orientation with experience tracking and analyzing recruiting metrics
• Excellent sourcing skills and ability to find strong candidates beyond traditional job postings
• Clear communication and relationship-building abilities with candidates and internal stakeholders
• Ability to operate independently in environments where processes are still being established
• Fluent English (C1+ level) speaking and writing

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience hiring for AI, machine learning, and research roles
• Track record building a recruiting function as the first or one of the first talent hires
• Experience hiring across US, EU, and UK markets
• Background in employer branding and building talent pipelines
• Experience using AI tools to improve sourcing, screening, or recruiting operations
