Full Job Description
The Role:

As the second recruiter on our legal team, you'll run full-cycle hiring across all of our legal roles, from sourcing through close, building scalable processes and helping define what great hiring looks like at Crosby. This is an opportunity to be a strategic partner to leadership, have a meaningful voice in company growth, and leave your mark on the future of our team and culture.

The lawyers we hire are energized by the intersection of law and technology, excited to apply AI in their practice, and ready to trade the billable hour for outcomes. They're in high demand, so winning them is a craft. You'll evangelize Crosby and learn what each candidate cares about, shaping their experience around it. The people you close are raring to start, and the ones who don't still leave as fans.

What You'll Do:
  • Own full-cycle hiring across our legal roles: sourcing, screening, scheduling, and closing.
  • Partner directly with Henry, hiring managers and leadership to deeply understand each role deeply before you pitch it.
  • Build scalable processes and track the metrics that tell us what's working.
  • Source and engage passive candidates, including lawyers who aren't looking yet.
  • Evangelize Crosby and make the case for a different way to practice law.
  • Close. Move candidates from interested to committed, and turn the ones who pass into referrals and advocates.
  • Build a candidate experience good enough to become part of how the market sees us.
  • Hold a high bar as we scale, and protect the team's time along the way.
  • Learn from every conversation, and feed it back so we recruit and sell sharper each time.

What We're Looking For:
  • Recruiting experience in legal specifically, or high-slope recruiting in another domain with the hunger to get up to speed on law fast.
  • A closer, not just a sourcer. You've moved in-demand, discerning candidates over the line.
  • Strong sourcing instincts and the ability to build pipelines from scratch.
  • A great communicator who earns trust with candidates and hiring managers alike.
  • Ability to adapt on the fly in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous, start-up environment
  • Curious about AI and how it's changing professional work, enough to speak to it credibly.
  • Experience with an ATS (we use Ashby) or the ability to pick it up quickly.

Bonus Points:
  • You've been an early or "first" recruiter and love building from 0 1
  • You've recruited lawyers or other high-end professional talent
  • You are a culture and team builder

Benefits:
  • Competitive salary and equity compensation
  • Generous, flexible PTO
  • Medical insurance (multiple plan options through Anthem & Cigna)
  • HSA or FSA, depending on your plan choice
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • 401(k) match
  • A collaborative, high-energy environment
