Founding Recruiter (onsite, contract)

Job Mobz • San Francisco, CA

1d • $70 - $100 • Onsite

About The Position

Our Client is an AI evaluation and security company. The company’s platform helps enterprise teams test whether AI systems — large language models, agents, and the applications built on them — are reliable, accurate, safe, and resistant to failure or misuse. In practical terms: when a company builds a product powered by AI, they help them find out where it breaks, what risks it carries, and whether it is ready to put in front of real users. The platform automates evaluation that would otherwise require large internal QA teams working through AI outputs manually — at a fraction of the time and cost. Founded by ML researchers from Meta AI and Meta Reality Labs. Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners and others. Fast-scaling, technically credible, and operating at the center of one of the most active segments in enterprise AI. This is the foundational recruiter at a company that is hiring fast and needs its recruiting function to run cleanly. You are not a coordinator. You are not a pure sourcer. You are the person who owns the operational backbone of every active search: scheduling, candidate communications, loop coordination, offer logistics, and closing support — all of it, all at once. The company has active inbound, a growing pipeline, and hiring managers who need a recruiting partner they can trust completely. Your job is to make sure nothing falls through, every candidate is treated well, and every loop moves at startup speed. Contract role. Approximately 40 hours per week. Bay Area in-person presence.

Requirements

• Experience as the only recruiter or one of two at a seed, Series A, or Series B company.
• End-to-end recruiting ops ownership: scheduling, ATS, coordination, comms.
• Stage-based prioritization — closes-first, always.
• High personal accuracy standard.
• Ability to describe what the client does clearly and credibly to any candidate.
• Disciplined, bounded use of AI tools.
• Comfortable building process in ambiguity.
• Ability to bring energy and precision together.
• Ability to work at a high pace.
• Bay Area in-person presence.

Responsibilities

• Manage the operational backbone of every active search: scheduling, candidate communications, loop coordination, offer logistics, and closing support.
• Ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Ensure every candidate is treated well.

• Manage a high volume of active loops across technical and non-technical roles.
• Manage candidates at every stage simultaneously and sequence work by urgency.
• Act as a partner to the hiring manager, flagging issues early, managing candidate experience tightly, and contributing to closing strategy.
• Build process in ambiguity.
• Review all external outputs before they are sent out.
