About the roleWe are scaling a global engineering-led company operating at the intersection of AI, vision systems, and manufacturing. We are looking for a
Head of Recruiting to build and run a recruiting engine that can scale headcount rapidly while maintaining a high bar for quality and culture.
This is a
hands-on, operator role. You will both lead and execute - building recruiting infrastructure, managing a small team, partnering with agencies, and personally closing key hires when needed. You will personally own specific requirements and source some candidates yourself in the first 6-12 months.
What you'll do- Own end-to-end recruiting across all roles and geographies
- Build and manage a small internal recruiting team
- Individually own recruiting expansions in new geographies or for senior roles
- Manage multiple external recruiting agencies globally and decide on how to work with agencies effectively longer term
- Design scalable recruiting processes, tools, and reporting
- Partner closely with the CEO and key leadership (COO, CTO, Sales lead, APAC lead) on hiring strategy
- Drive hiring plans tied to headcount goals and budgets
- Maintain hiring quality and cultural alignment as the company scales
- Travel quarterly to the US/TW (depending on location) and ad-hoc travel to China (~20% travel) to stay closely aligned with leadership and hiring managers
What we're looking for- Experience scaling headcount rapidly (e.g., 110, 10100, or similar)
- Proven ability to lead a small recruiting team and external partners
- Hands-on sourcing experience, including closing senior or critical hires
- Strong operational and execution mindset
- Ability to design structure and process without over-bureaucratizing
- Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
- Strong international sourcing experience, especially in China, Taiwan, or similar regions
Nice to have- Experience recruiting in technical domains (engineering, hardware, AI, manufacturing, automation)
- Experience recruiting across multiple countries
- Exposure to building recruiting infrastructure from scratch
