ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITYAt Artera, we believe hiring is the highest-leverage work we do - and that the candidate experience is a direct reflection of our internal excellence. We're looking for a
Talent Acquisition Specialist to help us scale our non-technical teams through an exciting growth phase, while also serving as the operational backbone of our recruiting function.
The role is roughly 80% full-cycle recruiting for non-technical roles (Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and G&A) and 20% recruiting operations - the systems, coordination, and data hygiene that make you and the rest of the team fast and effective.
Most importantly, we're looking for a force multiplier. Someone who doesn't just follow a process, but actively looks for ways to automate and optimize it using AI and modern recruiting tools - so we stay fast and human-centric as we grow.
Reporting to the SVP of People and partnering directly with hiring managers across the business, you'll help shape how we attract and hire world-class GTM and G&A talent.
ResponsibilitiesFull-Cycle Recruiting- Own full-cycle recruiting for non-technical roles across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and G&A - from role discovery and JD creation through sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer, and close.
- Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies to build robust pipelines of qualified candidates.
- Partner with hiring managers to define hiring goals, build collaborative recruiting plans, and share market and compensation insights.
- Conduct initial screens to assess skill fit, motivation, and alignment with Artera's values (Grit, Ownership, Teamwork, Growth).
- Manage the candidate experience with empathy and professionalism - clear communication, timely feedback, and a white-glove touch at every stage.
Recruiting Operations- Orchestrate complex interview loops across time zones, ensuring both candidates and hiring managers have everything they need to show up prepared.
- Own the health of our ATS (Lever) - data integrity, funnel reporting, and process documentation.
- Generate and manage offer letters with 100% accuracy.
- Proactively identify and implement AI-driven workflows (automated scheduling, AI note-takers, LLM-assisted communications, sourcing agents) to increase team velocity.
- Partner with the broader People team on cross-functional initiatives when recruiting bandwidth allows.
Requirements- 2+ years of recruiting experience, with exposure to both full-cycle work and coordination/operations.
- Demonstrated success recruiting or sourcing for non-technical roles - GTM (Sales, CS, Marketing) and/or G&A.
- AI Literacy: You don't just know about AI, you use it. You're comfortable using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or specialized recruiting AI to draft content, source, and manage tasks.
- Detail Obsession: A "measure twice, cut once" mentality - you catch the small errors in documents before they reach a candidate.
- Communication Mastery: You can pivot from professional and polished to warm and welcoming - in Slack, email, or over the phone.
- Data-Driven: Comfortable pulling reports from an ATS to show funnel metrics like time-to-hire, pass-through rates, and source effectiveness.
- Project Management: Strong ability to prioritize multiple open reqs and interview loops in a fast-paced environment.
- Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a "we-over-me" environment and enjoy partnering with busy hiring managers to solve scheduling and pipeline puzzles.
- Adaptability: You're comfortable with the ambiguity of a growing company and excited to take on more recruiting responsibilities as you grow.
- On-site Collaboration: You're energized by in-office collaboration 5 days a week at our Santa Barbara HQ, and maintain high productivity on remote days.
Bonus Experience- Experience recruiting in Healthcare, Health Tech, or Digital Health.
- Hands-on experience with our tech stack or similar tools: Lever (ATS), LinkedIn Recruiter, Pillar (AI Interview Companion), Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Gemini.
- Growth-stage startup experience.
- Familiarity with adjacent People functions (compensation, total rewards, HR operations) - a plus given the ops-adjacent scope of this role.
$75,000 - $100,000 a year
The compensation for this role will be based on level of experience and is in our Tier 1 geography. This position also comes with equity and a variety of benefits.
OUR APPROACH TO WORK LOCATIONAt Artera, we believe the best work happens when people are truly connected. Our AI services model has shown what's possible when small, focused teams move fast together - the speed of collaboration, pace of career growth, and quality of what we build can become stronger when teams share space. As we grow, we want every new teammate to feel part of an in-person community from day one.
That's why we are focusing our U.S. hiring in three cities, where we are investing in offices and building strong local teams:
- Santa Barbara, CA (Our HQ)
- Seattle, WA
- Kansas City, KS/MO
Unless a role's posting states otherwise, new U.S. roles are based in one of these three cities, and candidates should reside in (or be willing to relocate to) one of these areas. Each location follows an in-person schedule that reflects how our local teams work best; we'll walk you through what to expect for your specific role and city during the interview process.
Focusing on offices and hiring in a few locations, rather than spreading thin across many cities, lets us invest deeply in each one so every team has real community, mentorship, and momentum in person.
