About the role
We're a small team solving a big problem. Business fraud costs the financial system billions every year, and the tools built to fight it are slow, expensive, and outdated. We're changing that. You'd be joining a small, close-knit team where ownership is real, customer impact is immediate, and the work you ship matters from day one. We move deliberately, communicate directly, and care deeply about quality. If you want to look back in five years and know you worked on something that changed how trust works across major financial institutions, let's chat! Baselayer is growing, and we're looking for a Recruiter to help us hire the people who will define the company. You'll be owning full-cycle talent acquisition across Engineering, Go-to-Market, and Operations. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role - you'll work directly with founders and hiring managers to build a bar-raising hiring process and bring exceptional people into the team.
Responsibilities
- Own full-cycle recruiting for roles across Engineering, GTM, and Operations - from sourcing through offer close
- Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements, build scorecards, and maintain a high hiring bar
- Build and manage sourcing strategies to proactively identify top talent through LinkedIn, referrals, events, and creative outreach
- Manage candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring every candidate has a respectful, clear, and timely process
- Maintain and improve our ATS, keeping pipelines clean and data accurate
- Develop and iterate on interview processes that are structured, fair, and predictive of on-the-job success
- Contribute to employer brand efforts - help tell the Baselayer story to attract candidates who are excited about our mission
- Track recruiting metrics and report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, and quality of hire
- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or in a fast-paced environment
- Demonstrated success hiring across Technical and/or GTM roles
- Strong sourcing skills - you know how to find and engage passive candidates, not just manage inbound
- Excellent communication and organizational skills; you run a tight, candidate-friendly process
- Experience with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or similar)
- Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter
- WORK LOCATION
- Based in NYC; hybrid - 4 days per week in office.
