About the role
- You'll be Hilbert's first dedicated Talent Partner, reporting directly to the founding team.
- You'll own the full hiring funnel end-to-end while standing up the foundational people systems a globally scaling startup needs.
- Own full-cycle recruiting across GTM, engineering, data science, and operations—from sourcing through close—for roles across multiple geographies
- Partner with hiring managers (including founders) to define role requirements, build scorecards, and calibrate on what "great" looks like for each hire
- Build and run a sourcing engine that goes beyond LinkedIn: tap into founder networks, niche communities, referrals, and unconventional channels to find builders and hunters
- Design and manage a fast, rigorous, candidate-first hiring process—structured interviews, practical working sessions, and rapid feedback loops
- Own hiring metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline velocity, source quality, offer acceptance) and use data to continuously improve
- Build employer brand presence in key markets and communities where Hilbert's ideal candidates live
Requirements
- You've recruited for a high-growth startup (ideally Series A–C) and understand what it takes to hire exceptional people in a market where you have no brand yet
- You've built something from scratch—a recruiting function, an onboarding program, a people team—and know the difference between process that enables and process that slows things down
- You have hands-on experience with global hiring: international employment law basics, EOR platforms, multi-country onboarding, and the nuance of building distributed teams
- You're a clear, direct communicator who earns trust with hiring managers, candidates, and founders alike
- You're data-informed: you track what matters, spot bottlenecks early, and make decisions based on signal, not instinct alone
- You have the resilience and resourcefulness of someone who's operated in environments where the playbook didn't exist yet
Benefits
- Competitive base salary plus equity
- Compensation details, equity package, and bonus structure shared during the hiring process
