[Hiring] Recruiting Lead @Pearl

Role Description

You'll own the recruiting operation that helps Pearl's clients find and hire exceptional talent as we scale toward $100M in revenue.

• Our clients rely on us to find people they can't easily find themselves, from software engineers and product leaders to sales and other business-critical roles.
• This role requires a recruiting team that understands what great talent looks like, knows how to find it, and can work directly with founders and hiring managers.
• You'll lead and develop our recruiting teams, build sourcing strategies, run Hiring Alignment Calls, and ensure every search starts with a clear understanding of client needs.
• When a search isn't working, you'll know why, make adjustments, and keep everyone moving forward.
• You'll own the systems, tools, and performance metrics that help us recruit more effectively, including leveraging AI to improve speed, quality, and efficiency.
• This is a client-facing leadership role, working directly with founders, engineering and product leaders, and hiring managers.
• You'll be responsible for building strong relationships, setting expectations, driving accountability, and ensuring exceptional experiences for clients and candidates.
• As Pearl grows, you'll have the opportunity to build a recruiting function that can scale with us, developing stronger recruiters and better processes.

• Proven track record of hiring for complex software engineering, data science, product management, and GTM roles.
• Experience working directly with clients or external hiring managers, including running intake calls, setting expectations, and managing feedback loops.
• Strong proficiency with modern Applicant Tracking Systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever) and recruiting technologies.
• Demonstrated experience leveraging AI-powered recruiting tools to improve sourcing, candidate identification, screening, and overall recruiting efficiency.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute effective sourcing strategies for niche technical talent.
• Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and negotiation skills with a focus on building strong relationships.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment and adapt to changing priorities across multiple clients.

Requirements

• Experience recruiting for high-growth startup or scale-up technology companies (Health Tech preferred).
• Familiarity with the U.S. tech market and talent landscape.
• Experience managing complex client and stakeholder groups in agency and/or high-growth startup environments.

Benefits

• Build and Grow Quickly: You'll have the opportunity to step into leadership early and own decisions that shape how our company grows.
• Fully Remote: We've built Pearl with a multicultural DNA and teammates across 23 countries.
• Unlimited PTO: We trust that you'll get your work done and want to create space for you to take time away with the people you care about.
• Global Retreats: We create space for our teammates to get to know each other as people, rather than just to-do lists.
• Ambitious and Kind Team: We're looking for people who are sharp, kind, and open to being vulnerable when it matters.
