Hiring: Recruiting Lead Company: Harper Location: San Francisco, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-03 07:38:03 Employment Type: On-site About the job Experience: •3 year in-house stints where you saw real scale, not a string of short stops. •10 years in recruiting, including scaling through rapid growth (Series A–C). •2+ years managing recruiting teams of 3+. Required Skills: •Close candidates yourself. Source, screen, sell, and close across engineering, sales, and GTM. You own the funnel end to end. •Own technical recruiting. Understand the stack, know which competitors to pull from, and carry a real mental map of the talent landscape. Evaluate whether an engineer is actually good — don't just pass resumes through. •Build infrastructure for 10x. Repeatable sourcing strategies, structured interviews, calibrated scorecards that don't break when we triple headcount. •Expand into GTM and operations. Once technical recruiting runs cleanly, stand up pipelines for sales, marketing, and ops. •Partner with founders on hiring strategy. Work directly with founders — no committee, no approval chain. Push back when a spec doesn't make sense. Think 24 months ahead. •Build and lead a team. Hire and manage recruiters as we scale, and set the bar for performance and velocity. Qualifications: •A closer with a technical background — years recruiting engineers, with offers to prove it. •You've scaled recruiting through rapid growth, not just done early-stage setup — you know the ebbs and flows from Series A through C and what breaks at each stage. •You've built systems, not just filled roles, and you think about what fails at 10x. •You have tenure and depth — 2–3 year in-house stints where you saw real scale, not a string of short stops. •You move at founder speed. You close great candidates this week, not next month. •You can sell the reality honestly — an intense, loud, collaborative, on-site trading-floor culture — to the people who want exactly that. •You're ready to own the function and build a team under you. •6–10 years in recruiting, including scaling through rapid growth (Series A–C). •Technical recruiting background strongly preferred. •Demonstrated ability to source, sell, and close directly — not just manage others who do. Compensation: •$150,000 - $200,000 / year Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
