Team OverviewTalent Acquisition is how Deepgram's gets built. Our ability to move quickly in voice AI depends on bringing in exceptional people at the pace the business needs.
You'll lead a team of recruiters and own the day-to-day execution of recruiting across the company. You'll partner closely with recruiters and hiring managers across engineering, research, and go-to-market to set priorities, build strong pipelines, and make sure the team is delivering against the roles that matter most.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll coach the team, remove blockers, improve how we operate, and step into searches.
What you'll get to do:- Manages a recruiting team - sets priorities, manages capacity, coaches performance, and holds the team accountable for outcomes
- Runs full-cycle recruiting - can personally step into sourcing, interviewing, closing, and complex searches when needed
- Operates AI-native - builds Human+AI workflows into sourcing, screening, research, and pipeline operations rather than treating AI as an add-on
- Builds scalable recruiting systems - identifies recurring work and creates processes, automation, and tooling that eliminate it
- Uses data to diagnose problems - understands funnel health, capacity, and conversion, and gets to the root cause rather than adding more process
- Develops people - gives direct feedback, creates clear expectations, supports career growth, and raises the capability of the team
- Raises the quality of hiring - coaches hiring managers on structured interviewing, drives strong decision-making, and is comfortable challenging senior stakeholders
What you bring:- Typically 5-8 years of recruiting experience, including experience leading or managing recruiters, or equivalent demonstrated experience
- Experience hiring across technical and go-to-market functions in a high-growth technology or AI company
- Experience recruiting for engineering and/or research roles
- Hands-on experience with modern recruiting tools such as Ashby, Metaview, and Juicebox
- Has built AI-assisted recruiting workflows or automation that meaningfully improved how a recruiting team operates
