Full Job Description

📋 Description

• This is a brand-new kind of role at a fast-growing, pre-seed AI-native recruiting platform operating at marketplace scale — with tens of thousands of candidates and hundreds of startup customers already on the platform.
• The company builds autonomous AI agents that handle end-to-end recruiting: sourcing, personalized outreach, candidate conversations, qualification, and interview scheduling.
• As a Talent AI Operator, you are not a traditional recruiter. You are the human layer that makes autonomous recruiting actually work. Think air traffic controller, not pilot.
• The AI handles volume; you provide judgment, oversight, and precision at the moments that matter most.
• You'll help define what AI-native recruiting operations looks like as this team scales.
• Supervise AI agent pipelines: Monitor live candidate conversations, flag errors, and intervene when the agent requires human judgment.
• Handle high-stakes moments: Senior candidates, tricky objections, compensation negotiations — conversations where human touch still wins.
• Train the agents: Review agent outputs, label good/bad responses, and write examples that make the AI smarter over time.
• Quality control at scale: Audit candidate matches, outreach quality, and conversion rates across thousands of weekly touchpoints.
• Close placements: Guide candidates through final stages, manage offer conversations, and ensure successful hires.
• Build the playbook: Document what works, create SOPs, and define how humans and AI agents collaborate effectively.

🎯 Requirements

• 2+ years of talent operations, recruitment, or sourcing experience at early-stage tech startups (pre-seed/seed stage)
• Extensive hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) to evaluate output quality, identify errors, and understand AI capabilities and limitations
• Proven ability to design and optimize end-to-end recruitment processes: sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer management, and candidate experience
• Experience monitoring and quality-assuring high-volume candidate pipelines (hundreds to thousands of weekly touchpoints)
• Experience closing placements and managing final-stage candidate conversations including offer negotiation and objection handling
• Experience training, labeling outputs, or providing structured feedback to improve AI/ML systems or agent performance
• Data-informed mindset: comfortable working with KPIs, dashboards, A/B tests, and conversion rate analysis
• Strong communication and collaboration skills; proven ability to work cross-functionally with product, engineering, design, and leadership

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary
• Uncapped performance-based compensation tied to successful placements — top performers earn significantly more
• Performance-based equity: Equity grants available to top performers after a successful 90-day window, with potential for meaningful ownership as scope expands
• Health insurance
• Visa sponsorship available
• Optional: live and work from the company's San Francisco hackerhouse
