About The Position

Epia Neuro is a neural technology company developing intent-driven systems designed to restore function and independence for people living with neurological conditions. Its platform integrates implantable neural interfaces, adaptive algorithms, and assistive devices to translate neural intent into real-world action. The company initially focuses on stroke-related motor impairment, with plans to expand into cognitive decline and other neurological disorders. As Epia Neuro’s sole full-time recruiter, you will own recruiting searches and partner directly with hiring managers. You will report to the COO. HR and Operations handle scheduling and offer paperwork, allowing you to focus on candidates and hiring managers. The role covers positions across engineering, clinical, quality, and regulatory functions, and requires explaining Epia’s mission and work to candidates who are not actively seeking jobs. The role is based at Epia’s Alameda, California headquarters, with onsite work three days per week on days that work best for you. In the first 90 days, you are expected to run active searches with aligned intakes and moving pipelines. Within 6 to 12 months, success includes closing hires needed for company milestones, establishing structured interview loops for core roles, and providing funnel reporting used by leadership. You will also build future candidate pipelines and continually improve the hiring process.

Ability to manage multiple searches at once without compromising quality or candidate experience.
Exceptional sourcing skills with hard-to-reach passive candidates.
