About The Position

As the Founding Recruiter at Console, you’ll be responsible for building our recruiting function from the ground up and partnering closely with the founders to shape the team that builds our product and company. You’ll work directly with the CEO, CTO, and leadership team to define hiring priorities, set a high talent bar, and design hiring processes that scale as the company grows. From day one, you’ll own the full recruiting lifecycle — sourcing, interviewing, closing, and candidate experience — while building the infrastructure and systems that enable fast, high-quality hiring. This role is highly hands-on and strategic. You’ll help founders make thoughtful decisions about when to hire, who to hire, and how to build teams that compound over time. Your success will be measured by the quality of hires, speed of execution, and the strength of the recruiting foundation you build. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We work in-person and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
