I. Position SummaryThe AI Policy Network (AIPN) is hiring a Head of Talent to own hiring as we scale. We are growing quickly and often have multiple searches open at once. This position owns the hiring funnel end to end: running first screens, sourcing candidates, and keeping every search moving. You will work directly with hiring managers and organizational leadership.
II. Responsibilities- Review applications and run first-round screens across all open roles, assessing fit and flagging strong candidates for hiring managers.
- Project manage all open searches such that no search stalls and no hiring manager is overloaded.
- Source and engage candidates through in-person events, job boards, LinkedIn, referrals, and direct outreach, with particular focus on senior roles.
- Strengthen the hiring process we already run: consistent screening questions and scorecards, shorter time-to-fill, best practices.
- Draft and post job descriptions; keep the careers page and external listings current.
- Manage candidate pipelines and keep our applicant tracking organized, accurate, and up to date.
- Coordinate interview scheduling between candidates, hiring managers, and senior staff.
- Keep candidates informed at every stage and represent AIPN as a welcoming, professional first point of contact.
- Track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, pipeline health, source quality) and report on them regularly.
- Advise hiring managers on interviewing and evaluation, so every search is run to the same standard.
III. Qualifications- 6+ years of recruiting or talent experience, including owning searches for director-level roles and above; in-house, agency, or campaign settings all welcome.
- Experience improving a hiring process already in motion, whether that meant tightening screens or bringing down time-to-fill.
- Strong interpersonal skills and sound judgment in evaluating candidates over virtual and in-person interviews.
- Highly organized, with the ability to manage many searches at once without dropping details.
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication; proficiency with Google Workspace and an applicant tracking system (we use Greenhouse).
- Comfortable recruiting for a bipartisan organization, where candidates and colleagues come from across the political spectrum.
- Interest in AI, technology policy, or national-security issues.
- Self-directed initiator with an upbeat, whatever-it-takes attitude.
