Talent Acquisition Partner

About the role

We are looking for a high-agency, business-minded recruiter who can move fluidly between technical and commercial hiring - and who understands that both require the same rigor, even if the signals look different. You will own full-cycle recruiting across: Data, AI/ML, and platform engineers Product and technical leadership roles Sales, business development management, and customer success Marketing, partnerships, and revenue leadership You will not just manage process. You will pressure-test candidates. You will protect the company from mediocre hires. You understand that saying "no" well is often more valuable than saying "yes."

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Recruiting - Technical and Commercial
• Partner with hiring managers across Engineering and GTM to define what "great" looks like before opening a role
• Source and engage high-caliber passive talent - from staff engineers to enterprise AEs
• Run structured screening interviews that assess motivation, judgment, and failure modes
• Manage tight interview processes with strong candidate experience
• Drive offers to close without lowering the bar
• Talent Quality & Speed
• Reduce time-to-hire while increasing hiring quality across all functions
• Ensure roles do not sit open due to weak sourcing discipline
• Maintain high signal-to-noise ratios in candidate pipelines

• Hiring Rigor
• Identify desperation hiring patterns before they happen
• Push back when hiring managers lower standards
• Surface risks early in candidate evaluation
• Contribute to refining interview rubrics and assessment frameworks across both technical and GTM tracks
• What Success Looks Like (First 6-12 Months)
• Time-to-hire for core roles ≤ 60 days across Engineering and GTM
• ≥ 90% of hires meet or exceed expectations at 3-6 months
• Strong, predictable pipeline flow across all functions
• Hiring managers trust your judgment and seek your input early
• Clear, documented definitions of "great" across priority roles
• Who This Role Is For
• You might be a strong fit if:
• You have 3+ years of experience in full-cycle recruiting in a startup or high-growth environment
• You have hired across both technical and commercial functions - and can speak credibly to both
• You understand the difference between résumé strength and real signal, whether you're evaluating an engineer or an enterprise AE
• You are comfortable challenging hiring managers respectfully
• You are metrics-driven and operationally disciplined
• You care about talent density, not just req volume
• You thrive in an in-office, high-accountability environment
• This role is not for someone who:
• Wants fully remote work
• Prefers high-volume, low-judgment recruiting
• Has only hired in one function and isn't curious about the other
• Avoids hard conversations
• Optimizes for speed over quality
• What It Takes to Win Here
• Strong sourcing capability across both technical and GTM talent pools
• High pattern recognition in candidate evaluation - for engineers and commercial profiles alike
• Structured interview design mindset
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Bias toward action and ownership
• Comfort working directly with senior leaders
• You run recruiting like a performance function - not an administrative one.
• In Short
• If you believe hiring is a strategic advantage - If you can evaluate a distributed systems engineer and a hunter AE with equal confidence - If you want to help scale a company building real AI infrastructure for healthcare -
• This role is for you.
