Full Job Description
The Role

We're looking for our founding recruiter to build one of the most important functions at Quanta.

This isn't a recruiting role where you'll inherit mature processes and spend your time filling open reqs. You'll define how we hire, help shape who we hire, and build the systems that enable us to scale while maintaining an exceptionally high talent bar.

We're growing fast and every hire matters. You'll partner directly with our founders and hiring managers to build exceptional teams across engineering, product, design, operations, GTM, and beyond. You'll help define what great looks like, identify and close outstanding talent, and build a candidate experience that people genuinely remember.

You'll also own the recruiting infrastructure that supports our growth-from Ashby and sourcing strategy to interview design, scorecards, recruiting analytics, and employer brand. You'll continuously improve how we hire so recruiting becomes a competitive advantage for Quanta.

If you're excited about building from zero, partnering closely with founders, and helping assemble a world-class team at an ambitious company, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do
  • Own full-cycle recruiting from kickoff to close across Engineering, Product, Design, GTM, Operations, and future teams
  • Build creative sourcing strategies that consistently attract exceptional talent for difficult-to-fill roles
  • Design structured interview processes, scorecards, and debriefs that help us make high-quality hiring decisions
  • Build a candidate experience that is fast, thoughtful, transparent, and reflects the way we operate as a company
  • Own and improve our recruiting operations, including Ashby, sourcing tools, recruiting analytics, and reporting
  • Continuously identify bottlenecks, improve funnel performance, and raise the quality of our hiring process
  • Help shape Quanta's employer brand through job descriptions, recruiting content, social media, and candidate messaging
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a high-growth startup environment
  • Proven success hiring exceptional technical talent, with experience recruiting across multiple functions
  • Excited to build from zero. You enjoy creating systems, improving processes, and figuring things out without a playbook.
  • Outstanding closer who understands what motivates candidates and builds trust throughout the hiring process
  • High bar for candidate quality. You value making the right hire not making a fast hire
  • You obsess over candidate experience and sweat the small details because you know they shape how people perceive the company
  • Exceptional sourcing skills, you know how to find people that others can't
  • Strong communicator who can confidently represent Quanta to candidates at every stage
  • Highly organized and able to manage multiple searches while keeping hiring teams and candidates informed
  • Analytical enough to diagnose funnel problems, identify patterns, and improve recruiting performance over time
  • Excited to work in person with a collaborative team in our San Francisco office.


Our Benefits
  • Competitive early-stage salary ($140K-$200K)
  • Competitive early-stage equity
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Take-what-you-need paid vacation
  • Commuter benefits
  • Wellness stipend
  • Paid lunches and dinners in the office
  • All equipment and tools you need to be productive
