About the RoleWe're hiring our a Talent Lead to build Squint's recruiting function from the ground up.
You'll own full-cycle recruiting for priority roles across the company while building the systems, process, and employer brand that let Squint compete for talent in a crowded AI market. This is a builder's role: part hands-on recruiter, part function architect.
What You'll Do- Recruit, hands-on: You'll run full-cycle recruiting - sourcing, screening, closing - for some of Squint's most important open roles, across Engineering, GTM, and beyond.
- Build the machine: You'll stand up the process, tooling (ATS, scorecards, interview training), and metrics that let Squint hire well as we scale, not just hire fast.
- Partner with hiring managers: You'll translate fuzzy headcount plans into clear hiring strategies and calibrated bars, and coach hiring managers and interviewers along the way.
- Build the brand: You'll sharpen how Squint shows up to candidates - on LinkedIn, at events, in every recruiting conversation - so the best people want to work here.
- Lay the groundwork for People: Where it makes sense, you'll extend into broader People Ops - onboarding, systems, early performance processes - as Squint's People function takes shape.
About you- You've built a recruiting function before, not just staffed one.
- You move fast, but you don't cut corners on candidate experience or hiring bar.
- You're comfortable partnering directly with founders and executives on their most important hires.
- You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building process where none exists yet.
What You'll Bring- 6+ years of recruiting experience, including experience building or scaling a recruiting function at a high-growth startup.
- A track record of full-cycle recruiting across technical and go-to-market roles.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience partnering with senior leaders.
- Familiarity with modern recruiting/ATS tooling (Ashby, Greenhouse, or similar).
