About the job

Join us at datacurve as we revolutionize the developer landscape with our innovative gamified platform. Here, thousands of engineers will collaborate to create high-fidelity datasets that push the boundaries of large language models (LLMs). As the Founding Recruiter, you will play a pivotal role in scaling our vision from the ground up, establishing a robust recruitment function that encompasses systems, processes, and branding. Initially, you will be a player-coach, actively sourcing, engaging, and securing top-tier talent while also laying the groundwork for a future recruitment team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Establish Recruiting Function: Develop and execute the recruitment strategy, including tools, processes, branding, and training initiatives to enhance our hiring capacity.

  • Manage Full-Cycle Recruiting: Take charge of sourcing, evaluating, negotiating, and closing candidates for both technical (AI/ML/Engineering) and operational positions.

  • Lead by Example: Engage in hands-on recruiting while simultaneously creating a strategic roadmap for future team expansion.

  • Enhance Efficiency and Quality: Reduce time-to-fill, monitor funnel metrics, and implement rigorous standards throughout the recruitment process.

  • Elevate Candidate Experience: Safeguard our employer brand, ensure swift communication, and facilitate a respectful and engaging hiring process.

  • Conduct Effective Intake Sessions: Collaborate with hiring managers to thoroughly understand job requirements and set clear priorities.

  • Source Talent Innovatively: Utilize diverse platforms beyond LinkedIn, such as GitHub and niche forums, to uncover hidden talent.

  • Strategically Close Candidates: Personalize pitches to align with candidate motivations, clearly communicate compensation packages, and outmaneuver competitors.

  • Train and Mentor: Equip the recruitment team with the skills to conduct effective, fair, and legal interviews; establish structured processes and evaluation rubrics.

What We’re Looking For

  • Demonstrable full-cycle recruiting expertise, particularly in technical roles.

  • Experience in Startups—preferably as a founding or first recruiter, valuing breadth of experience in smaller companies over depth in larger organizations.

  • Familiarity with the San Francisco Market—possessing a strong local network and an understanding of prevailing compensation standards.

  • Proven creative sourcing abilities—able to demonstrate effective strategies that have yielded results.

  • Exceptional closing skills—capable of navigating competitive offers and tailoring narratives to resonate with candidates.

  • Comfort in recruiting for AI/ML roles; knowledgeable about where to discover this talent.
