Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Own the end-to-end recruitment funnel for all open roles at Viktor, from sourcing and screening to scheduling interviews and driving candidates to offer, covering GTM, Ops, and Product positions.
• Serve as the sole owner of all agency relationships: establish one unified intake process, eliminate duplicate candidates, retain high-performing agencies, and terminate underperforming ones.
• Build and refine the recruitment system including sourcing channels, Ashby pipeline hygiene, structured scorecards, and candidate communications that feel personal and human—no templated or AI-generated spam.
• Instrument and track key recruitment metrics: conversion rates by stage, time-to-offer, and points of candidate drop-off to optimize funnel efficiency.
• Leverage AI tools to automate sourcing, drafting outreach, and operational tasks, enabling you to operate with the output of a team of five while maintaining high-touch candidate experiences.
• Maintain and elevate Viktor’s hiring bar: refuse to lower standards even as headcount doubles from 25 to 50–70 in six months; measure success by quality of hire, not volume.
• Conduct technical first-round interviews using a standardized rubric, focusing on signal detection and routing candidates appropriately for deeper evaluation by hiring managers.
• Ensure every candidate, whether hired or not, has a best-in-class experience—clear communication, timely feedback, and respectful treatment throughout the process.
• Adapt playbooks for vastly different roles: sourcing a UGC video editor requires a completely different approach than closing an agent engineer, and you must manage both simultaneously.
• Report data-driven insights on recruitment performance to founders and hiring managers, using real numbers to guide decisions and resource allocation.
• Build the recruiting function from scratch as Viktor’s first dedicated recruiter, establishing systems, tools, and processes that scale with the company’s growth.
• Collaborate directly with founders and hiring managers who are deeply invested in hiring quality, ensuring alignment without bureaucratic overhead.
• Ship your first recruitment initiatives within your first week, including refining intake, cleaning up duplicate candidates, and launching improved candidate communications.
• Operate in a high-trust, low-process environment where decisions are made by owners, not committees, and where iteration and results drive progress over meetings.
• Continuously improve candidate experience and hiring efficiency as Viktor scales, laying the foundation for a future recruiting team.

🎯 Requirements

• Owned end-to-end recruitment for in-house roles and closed candidates who had competing offers
• Hired across both technical (engineers, product) and non-technical (GTM, creative, ops) roles with deep understanding of each talent pool
• Comfortable conducting structured technical first-round interviews using rubrics and routing signals to hiring managers
• AI-native: actively use LLMs and automation agents for sourcing, drafting, and operational tasks as core to daily work
• Write outreach that feels human, personalized, and compelling—no AI-generated slop or template spam
• Proven ability to maintain or raise hiring standards under pressure, prioritizing quality over speed

🏖️ Benefits

• Top-of-the-market salary
• Unprecedented ownership over a critical function at a fast-growing company
• Direct collaboration with founders and hiring managers who are fully invested in hiring quality
• Opportunity to build the recruiting function from scratch and scale it as the company grows
