About The Position

Fifth Dimension is bringing the magic of AI automation to document-heavy industries 🌈 —starting with commercial real estate. Our AI workspace helps leading investment managers, owners, and operators across the US, UK, and APAC automate complex workflows, extract insights from critical documents, and make faster, smarter decisions. We’ve just closed our Series A, backed by Tier 1 European and American investors. We hit 6x ARR growth last year and are targeting 15x by the end of 2026. We're currently 25 people across London and NYC, launching Singapore in H1 - and won’t be stopping there. We have huge ambitions, and we need a world class team to deliver on them - that starts with finding additional exceptional talent to join our team. You'd be the first member of our Talent function - a huge opportunity to grow with the company. You’ll shape how we recruit, and build a company uniquely positioned to capitalize on our already dominant position in the market. We plan to grow to ~60 exceptional people by the end of the year in engineering, product, commercial,and ops—across three geographies. Senior roles. Niche profiles. Searching for talent who isn’t on the market but will leap when the right role comes knocking. Your job is to find them, sell them on the opportunity of their career, and close them—fast. Are you energised by the hunt? Are you focussed on the close? Then read on 👀

Requirements

You're a natural metrics driven closer. Metrics-obsessed. Relentless on follow-up. Skilled at reading people and handling objections. You hear what candidates aren't saying. Don’t stop until you’ve got the close
You have high EQ. You can read a room, manage emotions—yours and theirs—and navigate tricky conversations without losing the candidate or the deal.
You're organised and a great communicator. Multiple roles, multiple hiring managers, multiple candidates in flight—you keep the plates spinning and nothing falls through the cracks.
You take ownership. If something's broken, you fix it. If something's unclear, you figure it out.
You're energised by early-stage—building something from zero, not inheriting a playbook. Ambiguity doesn't scare you, and autonomy isn’t a perk - they’re the environment in which you work best.
You're an AI/automation tooling whiz. Not because it's trendy, but because you've figured out it lets you move faster and do better work.
You test, learn, iterate. What worked last month might not work now. You're constantly experimenting with what cuts through and adjusting when it doesn't.
Strong commercial hiring portfolio, placing the best sales people in competitive markets
Experience to lean on and hire broad generalist roles as needed: think Ops, Marketing, Product, Tech HR or Legal.
Hired hard roles: senior, niche, competing against better-funded companies
End-to-end ownership of the funnel, from sourcing through close
Strong experience recruiting in New York City and the US
Demonstrable use of AI/automation in your recruiting workflow
Demonstrable ability to consistently deliver 2-4 high performing hires a month
