Founding Talent Lead
True Talent Solutions Partners · San Francisco · onsite
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a fast-growing B2B SaaS startup as its first dedicated talent hire. You will own recruiting end to end, building pipelines across technical and non-technical teams and creating a thoughtful candidate experience.

- Build candidate pipelines from scratch, with an initial focus on engineering and the opportunity to expand into go-to-market and other functions.
- Manage the full candidate lifecycle, including proactive outreach, screening, interview coordination, and closing.
- Provide a warm, attentive candidate experience throughout the recruiting process.
- Partner with founders to define role requirements and align on candidate profiles.
- Support light people operations, including offer letters and process improvements.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 4 years of technical recruiting experience, including hiring software engineers at B2B SaaS startups.
- Experience owning end-to-end recruiting as an individual contributor, from outbound sourcing through closing.
- Strong proactive sourcing skills and experience building pipelines without relying on brand recognition or heavy inbound applications.
- Startup recruiting experience, ideally during a rapid-growth phase. Agency experience placing technical candidates at startups is also relevant.
- Experience with Ashby or a similar modern applicant tracking system.
- A warm, thoughtful approach with candidates and stakeholders, and a track record of staying in roles for more than a year.
- Authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
