About the RoleWe're looking for an experienced Recruiter to help build Pelico's North American team during a period of rapid growth.
This isn't a recruiting coordinator or high-volume sourcing role. You'll own searches end-to-end, partner directly with hiring managers and executives, influence hiring strategy, and help shape how recruiting operates as we scale.
We're looking for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, is deeply customer-oriented, and cares as much about building great hiring processes as they do about closing exceptional talent. You'll also embrace AI as part of your daily workflow-leveraging modern tools to source more effectively, automate repetitive tasks, improve candidate engagement, and continuously raise the quality and efficiency of your work.
What You'll Do- Own full-cycle recruiting across technical and business functions from kickoff through offer acceptance.
- Partner closely with hiring managers to define hiring strategies, interview processes, and candidate profiles.
- Develop creative sourcing strategies to identify exceptional talent across competitive markets.
- Deliver an outstanding candidate experience while representing Pelico's culture and mission.
- Manage interview coordination, feedback quality, and hiring decisions to keep processes efficient and high quality.
- Use recruiting data and market insights to improve funnel performance and influence hiring decisions.
- Build strong talent pipelines before hiring needs become urgent.
- Leverage AI tools to improve sourcing, market research, candidate engagement, interview preparation, and recruiting operations.
- Continuously improve recruiting processes, interview calibration, employer branding initiatives, and recruiting workflows.
- Act as a trusted advisor to leaders throughout the hiring process.
About You- 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience.
- Experience recruiting for technical and/or go-to-market roles in high-growth startup or technology environments.
- Proven track record of hiring high-caliber talent across multiple functions and seniority levels.
- Strong sourcing skills using LinkedIn Recruiter and other outbound channels.
- AI-native mindset. You actively leverage modern AI tools to enhance sourcing, research, communication, and operational efficiency, and you're constantly experimenting with new ways to improve your craft.
- Excellent stakeholder management and ability to influence hiring decisions with data and sound judgment.
- Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail and follow-through.
- Comfortable managing multiple searches simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience with modern ATS platforms (Ashby preferred)
- You'll thrive here if you:
- Love building from zero rather than maintaining existing processes.
- Think like an owner and naturally look for ways to improve how work gets done.
- Balance speed with quality and sound judgment.
- Are curious, resourceful, and proactive.
- Enjoy partnering with leaders and becoming an extension of their teams.
- Care deeply about candidate experience and hiring excellence.
- Believe the best recruiters combine exceptional human judgment with AI-enabled execution.
