About this role
About the Role
This is a new kind of role at the intersection of recruiting and AI operations. You will supervise autonomous AI agents that source, message, and qualify candidates at scale, stepping in for high-judgment moments and closing placements that need a human touch. Think air traffic controller, not pilot, and expect to help define what AI-native recruiting operations looks like as the company grows.
What You'll Do
- Monitor live AI agent pipelines, flag errors, and intervene when human judgment is needed.
- Handle high-stakes candidate conversations including objection handling, compensation negotiation, and senior-candidate outreach.
- Review agent outputs, label good and bad responses, and write examples that improve AI performance.
- Audit candidate matches, outreach quality, and conversion rates across thousands of weekly touchpoints.
- Guide candidates through final stages, manage offers, and ensure successful placements.
- Document what works, build SOPs, and help define how humans and AI agents collaborate effectively.
What We're Looking For
- 2 or more years in talent operations, recruitment, or sourcing at early-stage tech startups.
- Extensive hands-on experience with AI tools (such as large language model assistants) to evaluate quality, identify errors, and understand AI capabilities and limitations.
- Proven ability to close placements and manage final-stage candidate conversations.
- Comfort using data to drive recruiting decisions: KPIs, dashboards, A/B tests, and conversion rate analysis.
- Experience working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and leadership teams in startup environments.
- Background training, labeling, or providing feedback to improve AI or ML systems.
- Experience in AI-focused startups or with AI-native hiring processes is a plus.
- Familiarity with TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, React, Node.js, or similar technologies is a plus.
- Experience documenting processes or building operational playbooks is a plus.
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base salary plus uncapped performance-based compensation tied to placements. Top performers earn significantly more. Equity is available on a performance basis, with grants available after a 90-day performance window. Benefits include health insurance and visa sponsorship.
Location
Hybrid role based in San Francisco, California . Candidates located elsewhere in the United States are also considered. Visa sponsorship is available.
