Lead Recruiter

Role overview

This position is with an AI-powered recruiting service that connects strong companies with strong candidates through a straightforward, conversational hiring process. The setup avoids heavy portals and opaque workflows, and the company is seeking an experienced Lead Recruiter who brings a solid network and prefers part-time, remote work while owning important searches from start to finish.

What you will do

You will be responsible for searches end to end rather than handling only one stage of the funnel.

• Partner with hiring managers during intake to clarify role needs, create job descriptions that are compelling and clear, and select sourcing approaches that suit each position.
• Find, reach out to, and evaluate candidates, including those others may overlook, while keeping screening structured, fair, and consistent.
• Support hiring decisions with evidence by managing interview processes, encouraging organized feedback, and guiding stakeholders away from intuition-only decisions.
• Maintain a positive candidate journey through prompt updates, transparent communication, and a process that candidates would still recommend even when they are not selected.
• Use recruitment analytics to identify issues, improve processes, and help refine AI-supported hiring workflows, while also coaching junior recruiting partners.

Fit and experience

The ideal candidate has full-cycle recruiting experience across different roles and seniority levels, covering the process from intake through offer on a repeated basis. A real network within the recruiting community and experience handling multiple client relationships are important. You should also be comfortable with sourcing, pipeline management, and structured interviewing, along with using ATS platforms, recruiting software, and remote collaboration tools to run a fully virtual hiring process smoothly. Strong credibility as a talent advisor, the ability to influence hiring managers using data, and clear written and verbal communication are also key. The role requires someone who can work independently in a part-time capacity, manage several searches at once, and prioritize without close supervision.

Additional strengths

Experience with AI-driven recruiting tools, HR technology, or fast-moving startup environments is a plus.

Why this role stands out

Unlike many part-time recruiting roles that simply assign a requisition and a deadline, this one gives real ownership. The position sits at the intersection of recruiting expertise and AI tooling, offering direct exposure to how technology is changing hiring and a meaningful voice in shaping that evolution. The company is remote-first, growing, and values curiosity, collaboration, and ongoing improvement more than performative process or in-person presence.

Application notes

The hiring process is intended to be simple, transparent, and quick. Candidates should be prepared to discuss the types of searches they have managed and the strength of their professional network.
