Technical Recruiter
About The Position
Valon is seeking a Technical Recruiter to join their team. This role is described as the 'engine' of the company, responsible for finding, assessing, and closing talent to build an AI-native operating system for regulated finance. The ideal candidate will treat recruiting as a system to be built, measured, and improved, with a strong inclination towards using AI to enhance their output and automate workflows. This is a building role, not just a req-filling position, requiring ownership of the full lifecycle for critical technical hires with speed, precision, and intellectual curiosity.
Requirements
- Proven track record closing technical roles (engineering, product, data) in high-growth or complex environments
- A portfolio of AI experimentation — you can talk concretely about tools you've tried, workflows you've automated, and what worked vs. didn't
- High agency: you take ownership, drive outcomes, and fix what's broken without being asked
- The ability to translate complex, technical, or regulated businesses into narratives that attract top talent
- Sharp pattern recognition for what "great" looks like across technical disciplines
- Resilience through rejection, slow closes, and ambiguity — you keep momentum when pipelines stall
- Strong data instincts: you track metrics, spot trends, and let numbers inform your decisions
- Communication skills that build trust with candidates and hiring managers alike
Nice To Haves
- You think AI tools are a nice-to-have you'll "get around to learning"
- You run the same sourcing playbook you ran in 2021 and call it a strategy
- You wait for a hiring manager to tell you what good looks like instead of forming your own conviction
- You measure your success by activity (messages sent, screens scheduled) rather than outcomes (hires closed, time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate)
- You're uncomfortable pushing back on senior leaders when their expectations don't match the market
- You need a fully built process to be effective — we're still building ours
Responsibilities
- Own pipelines end-to-end, with urgency. Source, assess, and close world-class technical talent across engineering, product, and data roles.
- Be a strategic partner, not an order taker. Bring market intelligence to every intake.
- Tell a story that makes exceptional people pay attention, deeply understanding Valon's thesis to attract world-class engineers.
- Obsess over candidate experience, designing precise, human, and high-trust interactions.
- Use AI like it's part of your team, experimenting with AI for sourcing, outreach personalization, pipeline analysis, candidate research, and workflow automation.
- Build recruiting as a product by drafting job descriptions, refining interview loops, creating sourcing playbooks, and building dashboards.
Benefits
- Competitive salary with a meaningful stake in the company via equity
- 401k plan
- Comprehensive medical, dental, & vision benefits
- Pre-tax deductions for public transportation, rideshare services, and parking expenses
- Company wide orientation for successful onboarding
- Learning & development opportunities including regular review cycles that feature 360 degree feedback
- Quarterly budgets for team and company outings
- Flexible paid time off
- Sick days
- 11 company holidays
- 12 weeks off for both birthing and non-birthing parents - fully paid
