Founding Recruiter

Quanta•San Francisco, CA

1d•$140,000 - $200,000•Onsite

About The Position

Quanta is an AI-powered finance platform built for fast-growing companies. We're looking for our founding recruiter to build one of the most important functions at Quanta. This isn't a recruiting role where you'll inherit mature processes and spend your time filling open reqs. You'll define how we hire, help shape who we hire, and build the systems that enable us to scale while maintaining an exceptionally high talent bar. We're growing fast and every hire matters. You'll partner directly with our founders and hiring managers to build exceptional teams across engineering, product, design, operations, GTM, and beyond. You'll help define what great looks like, identify and close outstanding talent, and build a candidate experience that people genuinely remember. You'll also own the recruiting infrastructure that supports our growth—from Ashby and sourcing strategy to interview design, scorecards, recruiting analytics, and employer brand. You'll continuously improve how we hire so recruiting becomes a competitive advantage for Quanta. If you're excited about building from zero, partnering closely with founders, and helping assemble a world-class team at an ambitious company, we'd love to talk.
