About The Position

Outtake exists to empower and facilitate trust for a digital-first world. Today, impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse spread faster than any security team can respond to. So we built something different: an agentic AI platform that proactively detects, monitors and takes down impersonators and automates protection in hours, not weeks. Built by ex-Palantir, ex-CTO/founders, and ex-Notion engineers, Outtake is designed for clarity, autonomy, and velocity. Our goal is ambitious: become the trust layer of the modern internet. And we intend to do it with a lean, dense, exceptionally talented team. The Role Outtake is looking for its first Talent Acquisition Lead, a builder who will design, own, and execute our hiring strategy end-to-end. We’re seeking someone who’s scaled a high-growth tech company from the early-stage through pre-ipo, and knows what it takes to attract, assess, and close exceptional talent across technical and business functions. This person will play a central role in defining how Outtake grows, architecting a recruiting engine that’s data-driven, automated, and built to scale. The ideal candidate has a technical recruiting background, fluency in modern recruiting tech stacks (ATS, sourcing tools, AI assistants), and the creativity to turn our ambitious headcount goals into a repeatable, high-velocity process. The right person thrives in ambiguity, loves systems thinking, and is eager to build a next-generation recruiting machine from the ground up.

Requirements

5–8 years of recruiting experience, with a strong focus on technical or GTM roles.
Proven success scaling a high-growth startup from Series A to Series C (or equivalent trajectory).
Deep familiarity with recruiting software, ATS platforms, sourcing automation, and AI-enabled tools.
A systems thinker who loves to design repeatable, automated processes that eliminate manual work.
Analytical mindset – able to use data to forecast hiring needs and optimize performance.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills across all levels of the org.
A builder’s mentality: scrappy, fast-moving, and comfortable in ambiguity.
Passion for startups, technology, and the art of connecting great people with meaningful work.

Responsibilities

Own and drive Outtake’s full-cycle recruiting strategy across technical and business roles.
Partner with leadership to define headcount plans, hiring priorities, and measurable goals that align with company growth targets.
Architect a scalable, mostly automated recruiting system leveraging AI, ATS, and sourcing tools.
Identify and eliminate manual processes, from sourcing to scheduling, through workflow automation.
Build and maintain dashboards that track funnel metrics, conversion rates, and time-to-fill across roles.
Lead searches for key technical and leadership positions while supporting hiring across all functions.
Partner closely with hiring managers to define role scopes, evaluation rubrics, and interview processes.
Help shape Outtake’s employer brand through content, campaigns, and community engagement.
Deliver a world-class candidate experience that reflects Outtake’s mission, values, and pace.
