? Recruiting Partner

?? San Francisco Bay Area, USA (onsite)

?? $120,000 - $180,000 salary + bonus

The role

Recruiting Partner with approximately 8+ years of experience in the technology ecosystem. This is not a typical "recruiter" role; it is a critical operational position that combines high-level PhD/Research Scientist sourcing with the rigorous, high-volume coordination required to scale a top-tier lab.

In a high-growth environment, the "bottleneck" is often the schedule. You will be the architect of our candidate experience, ensuring that every interview loop—no matter how complex or cross-continental—runs with "white-glove" precision.

Responsibilities:

1. High-Volume Coordination & Scheduling (Primary Focus)

• The "Scheduling Engine":

Manage the complex, multi-stage interview calendars for all regional and international roles. This includes coordinating across multiple time zones.

• Panel Optimization:

Work with People Operations and Team Leads to ensure interview panels are balanced, diverse, and technically aligned.

-Candidate Experience: Act as the primary point of contact for candidates, ensuring they are briefed, prepared, and supported from initial outreach to offer.

1. Full-Cycle Research Recruiting

• Strategic Sourcing & Market Mapping:

Conduct deep-market research and mapping to identify and engage world-class PhD talent across core and emerging AI domains, including Reinforcement Learning (RL), Post-training, Vision-Language Models (VLM), Diffusion, World Models, and Infrastructure.

• End-to-End Search Management:

Lead the full recruiting lifecycle from initial intake sessions with hiring managers to final closing. Develop tailored hiring strategies for niche research roles.

• Stakeholder Management:

Partner directly with Research Leadership and Team Leads to define role requirements, refine job descriptions, and calibrate candidate profiles through regular feedback loops.

• Consultative Candidate Management:

Serve as a brand ambassador and consultant to candidates, articulating the lab's unique mission and technical roadmap to convert high-passive talent.

1. Talent Operations & Infrastructure

• Compliance & Audit Readiness:

Ensure all recruiting processes, documentation, and data tracking are fully compliant with federal and state labor laws (e.g., EEO, CCPA, and relevant California labor codes). Maintain an "audit-ready" environment for all hiring records and candidate data.

• ATS Mastery:

Take full ownership of our Applicant Tracking System. Ensure 100% data integrity, manage the referral pipeline, and provide weekly "Health of the Pipeline" reports to leadership.

• Process Building:

Evaluate and improve our hiring workflows. You will build the templates and playbooks that allow us to scale significantly.

• Brand Ambassadorship:

Help represent the lab at top-tier conferences to build our local and global talent brand.

Requirements:

• 8+ Years of Experience: Proven track record in Talent Acquisition, specifically within high-growth AI labs or Tier-1 tech firms.
• Research Literacy: You must understand the difference between a "Software Engineer" and a "Research Scientist." Familiarity with the ML research ecosystem and PhD hiring cycles is essential.

• Mastery of Complexity:

Exceptional organizational skills. You should thrive in the "logistical puzzle" of scheduling multiple complex interview rounds per day without errors.

-Communication: Ability to communicate with high-seniority executives and elite academic researchers with professional poise.

• Tools:

Expert-level proficiency in modern ATS platforms (experience with Lever is a significant plus), LinkedIn Recruiter, and productivity suites.

Why apply:

• Opportunity to build out a new division at the forefront of AI innovation
• FAANG competitive salary & package
• Work alongside superstars from FAANG labs & leading AI companies
• Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance
• Relocation package available
