About The Position

Modal builds the infrastructure that lets engineers run AI workloads without the usual pain. To do this well, we need exceptional people – and that’s where you come in. As the first dedicated GTM recruiter on our Talent team, you’ll own sales, GTM, and other G&A searches end-to-end. You’ll work closely with our Head of Talent, founders, and GTM leads to shape how we hire and help bring in the people who will define what Modal becomes.

Requirements

• You know GTM recruiting inside and out and enjoy challenging searches
• You’re curious – you ask the right questions and love understanding how things actually work
• You influence with insight and honesty, not by simply having the loudest voice in the room
• You move quickly and communicate clearly, even when things get messy
• You’re a strong closer who builds trust early and stays ahead of concerns
• You’re steady when priorities shift and can recalibrate without losing momentum
• You care about people and want them to have a thoughtful, fair, and human experience throughout the process

Responsibilities

• Drive full-cycle recruiting for key hires across GTM and G&A functions (sourcing, pitching, guiding interviews, and closing candidates)
• Partner with GTM leaders to understand the real work and calibrate on what great looks like
• Help set our hiring bar and how we evaluate talent
• Execute creative top-of-funnel strategies that resonate with a strong community of experienced GTM talent
• Deliver a fast, respectful, honest candidate experience
• Bring an equity lens to every stage of the process
• Use data and market context to keep searches on track and expectations aligned
• Support candidates as a trusted guide through high-stakes decisions
