AI Recruiting Operations Specialist

The Role

This is not a traditional recruiting role.

Our platform uses AI agents to source, engage, and qualify thousands of candidates every week. Your role is to supervise and optimize these AI-driven workflows—stepping in when human judgment is required and ensuring the overall recruiting system runs smoothly.

Instead of manually sourcing candidates or sending outreach, you will operate as the human layer on top of an AI-native recruiting engine. Youll monitor candidate conversations, handle complex scenarios, improve agent performance, and help close hires that require a personal touch.

Think of this role as air traffic control for AI-powered recruiting: overseeing high-volume pipelines while intervening strategically when necessary.

As the company scales, youll also help define what AI-native recruiting operations looks like in practice.

Compensation

Uncapped performance-based compensation tied to successful placements

High-performing team members become eligible for equity after a successful 90-day performance period. Equity grants may expand over time as scope and impact grow.

Optional in-person collaboration from our San Francisco hackerhouse
