[Hiring] Sr Talent Partner @Community Phone

Role Description

This role is built to fix the common issue of hiring recruiters who can run a process but lack the judgment to evaluate candidates effectively. You'll own full-cycle recruiting across every function starting day one, and you'll build the operating system: sourcing, interview loops, scorecards.

• Full-cycle recruiting (sourcing, evaluation, closing) across GTM, engineering/product, and ops.
• The recruiting operating system: ATS, interview structure, scorecards, sourcing channels, built from scratch, not inherited.
• Direct partnership with the CEO/COO and hiring managers on role scoping and hiring bar: you help set the bar, not just fill against it.
• Hiring metrics that actually inform decisions (time-to-fill, pipeline conversion, quality of hire), not vanity throughput numbers.
• Candidate experience and employer brand: often a candidate's first real signal of what working here is like.

Qualifications

• Independent, evidence-based candidate judgment.
• Sourcing alpha: knowing what circles the best candidates swim in.
• Full-cycle recruiting experience at an early-stage or fast-growing company.
• Intelligence and clarity of thinking.
• Range across functions: comfortable evaluating both growth hires and engineers.
• A track record of delivering results and taking end-to-end responsibility.
• Comfort with ambiguity and founder-speed decision-making.

Requirements

• Recruiting experience in high growth, hardware, or consumer software subscription environments (nice to have).
• Employer branding or content skills: job posts and outreach that convert (nice to have).
• Prior experience leading or managing a recruiting team (nice to have).

Benefits

• This is a founding seat, defining how the company hires for years.
• Genuine opportunity to build and lead the recruiting team.
• Start as an individual contributor, with the potential to scale.
