About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will own end-to-end recruiting across all roles: sourcing, outreach, screening, managing interview loops, and closing
You will build and maintain a candidate pipeline through proactive sourcing, networking, and long-term relationship building with researchers and scientists in AI, biology, and drug discovery
You will conduct first-round screening interviews, evaluating candidates with enough technical fluency to distinguish real depth from surface familiarity in AI/ML and computational biology
You will design and continuously improve screening frameworks and interview processes, ensuring Output identifies exceptional talent efficiently and consistently
You will represent Output at key venues including AI conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) and biotech events, building relationships with researchers, PhD students, and postdocs
You will partner with the founders and hiring managers to define roles, set hiring strategy, and ensure every candidate experiences a rigorous and human process
You will own and maintain the ATS, keeping pipeline data clean and using it to track progress, identify bottlenecks, and improve workflows
You will manage the process through to offer: structuring competitive compensation packages, presenting offers to candidates, and handling negotiations on equity, salary, and terms

Requirements

What you’ll need

3+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience with a meaningful focus on AI/ML, research, or engineering roles
You have a track record of sourcing and closing niche technical talent in highly competitive markets
You have enough technical fluency in AI/ML to screen research candidates credibly: you understand the difference between someone who has trained models and someone who has used APIs, and you can assess publication records and research depth
You are comfortable building proactive sourcing strategies and cultivating long-term candidate relationships, not just filling open roles
You have familiarity with the AI/ML research community: key conferences, top labs, publication venues, and how researchers evaluate opportunities
You have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with researchers and scientists who are skeptical of recruiting outreach
You have working knowledge of startup compensation structures, including equity, vesting, and how to position offers competitively against well-funded AI labs
You are comfortable working in a stealth environment where you cannot rely on brand recognition and must sell on substance
