The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Serve as the first dedicated recruiting hire, running hiring from first contact through accepted offer. Start by filling engineering openings, then widen to additional departments, partnering closely with company leaders and keeping the candidate experience considerate and well organized.
What you'll do
- Find and engage prospective hires, creating talent pipelines from the ground up, beginning with engineering and later covering sales, marketing and other teams.

What we're looking for
- At least 4 years of recruiting experience, ideally filling engineering positions at early-stage companies.
- A track record of hiring successfully at a startup without a famous name or a steady stream of inbound applicants.
- Confidence in reaching out to people who are not actively job hunting, and in starting a talent funnel with no existing pool.
- Experience owning the hiring cycle independently, from outbound search through closing.
- A warm, considerate communication style with candidates and colleagues.
- Willingness to work on-site five days a week.

- Familiarity with modern applicant tracking tools.
- Exposure to hiring during a period of fast company expansion.
