Founding Recruiter

Location: On-site, Union Square, NYC

Compensation: $130–160K + equity

Why This Role Matters

This is the first recruiting hire we’re making, and we think it’s one of the most important hires we’ll make all year. Because every other hire runs through this one. We’re about to scale the team significantly, and the person in this role will shape who we are as a company.

About Voiceops

Every revenue team is about to be rebuilt around AI. Voiceops is the AI platform to help B2C companies get there. Our products automate the work that drives revenue: sales coaching, compliance, lead scoring, CRM enrichment, marketing strategy, product strategy, and customer communication. We combine frontier AI, deep domain expertise, and an enterprise-grade platform to help companies transform into AI-first revenue operations.

We work with insurance, financial services, and education companies, industries that form the backbone of the US economy. AI is going to be transformative for these businesses and for the consumers they serve. Our clients already include multi-billion dollar Fortune 500 companies.

Our AI is the first that learns on the job. It observes work, tries tasks, and asks questions along the way, quickly becoming a top employee whose expertise scales infinitely.

Our team is scrappy, sharp, and fast-moving. Eight people, multi-billion dollar clients, and a product that’s working. With this foundation, we are ready to scale our team.

The Role

This is our first recruiting hire. We’re building out the team over the next six months, roughly a dozen people across sales, marketing, product, and engineering. You’ll own the full recruiting function.

The job comes down to three things:

Sourcing. You’ll build the systems that keep our pipeline full. We’re an AI company and part of this job is making our recruiting AI-first, so you’re in a sense PM’ing an internal product: our AI recruiting function. That means outreach, candidate discovery, database building, and pipeline management should be automated and agentic wherever possible. Your first impulse should be automation, especially in sourcing, which is a lot of repetitive tasks that need to be done at scale. This is a real opportunity to build one of the first truly AI-native recruiting functions from scratch. If you’re the kind of person who’s already experimenting with AI tools and wants to push that further, this is the role where you get to go all the way.

Screening. You’ll run first calls with full autonomy. You decide who moves forward. That means developing a sharp sense for what “great at Voiceops” looks like and making judgment calls we trust. The goal is to evaluate fit, but you do not need to screen technical skills.

Selling. You are the first impression of the company. Candidates should finish a call with you and want to keep going. That means you can articulate what we’re building with conviction, make people feel the momentum, and get them excited about joining something early and consequential.

As our first recruiter, you’ll work directly with the CEO to build the systems from scratch: ATS, scorecards, messaging, process. If that excites you, keep reading.

We see this role growing into a broader people function: owning employer brand, building a recruiting team, shaping how we onboard and develop talent. The scope will grow as the company does, and you’ll have a seat at the table as we figure out what that looks like.

Who Belongs Here

We hire for extreme curiosity, speed, and high ownership. It’s only through those traits that we built what we’ve built with a team of 8, and it’s the foundation of who we are.

Curiosity means you learn fast, ask great questions, and build strong instincts quickly. On calls, you can talk to an AE candidate in the morning and an engineer in the afternoon and both feel like you get what matters to them. Off calls, you’re constantly asking how we can improve: what’s working in the pipeline, whether results match our scorecards, how we can move faster, what we’re missing.

Speed means you bias toward action. You respond to emails and Slack messages in minutes, not hours. When you have a new idea, you act on it right away rather than letting it sit.

Ownership means you take full responsibility for outcomes. When something doesn’t go right, you look for what you could have done differently and what you can do better going forward. You make sure things get to done-done, even when there are dependencies outside your control. The people who thrive here hold themselves to a higher standard than anyone else would hold them to.

We also just want to work with genuinely good people. Warm, reliable, easy to work with. That matters to us as much as anything else.
