Move with Urgency and Purpose. We bias toward delivery over perfection, remove friction from our own paths, and communicate in real time. Momentum compounds.
Own the Outcome. We own outcomes, not just tasks. We hold a high Say:Do ratio and take responsibility from idea through impact. When something breaks, we fix it.
Never Satisfied. We raise the bar continuously. We stay curious, hold exacting standards, debate hard, and hold our opinions loosely when the evidence shifts.
What You'll Do
Lead and Develop the TA Team
Manage two Senior Talent Acquisition Partners. Set clear expectations, coach on recruiting craft, provide regular feedback, and create growth paths for each team member.
Own recruiting delivery quality across your team: pipeline health, interview-to-offer ratios, time-to-fill, and candidate experience metrics.
Foster a high-performance, high-accountability culture where the team ships fast, iterates openly, and holds each other to a high bar.
Recruit Directly
Maintain a direct recruiting desk for senior, strategic, and hard-to-fill roles. Model best practices in sourcing, assessment, and candidate management for the team.
Provide backfill and overflow capacity when volume spikes or critical searches require additional attention. You are not above doing the work.
Own TA Operations and Vendor Management
Own the TA tech stack: Greenhouse (ATS), BrightHire (interview intelligence), LinkedIn Recruiter, and any sourcing or scheduling tools. Drive configuration, optimization, adoption, and renewal decisions.
Manage vendor relationships and contracts. Evaluate new tools, negotiate terms, and hold vendors accountable to SLAs and value delivery.
Own ATS hygiene, offer approval workflows, background check processes, and TA reporting. The operational backbone of recruiting runs through you.
Manage TA vendor spend (tools, job boards, agencies, recruiting events) against budget parameters set by the VP, People.
Own Candidate Experience (First Touchpoint through Day 1)
Own the full candidate journey from first outreach through offer acceptance and Day 1 start. Every touchpoint reflects Built's brand: professional, responsive, human, and fast.
Own the TA-to-onboarding handoff: ensure role-specific context, hiring manager expectations, and candidate background transfer cleanly to the People Operations team, who owns the experience from Day 1 forward.
Monitor candidate experience data (survey feedback, offer acceptance rates, candidate NPS) and drive improvements.
TA Compliance
Serve as the compliance liaison for the TA function: OFCCP, EEO, offer letter compliance, background check processes, and hiring-related regulatory requirements.
Partner with Legal and the People Operations team on hiring compliance, employment law changes, and audit readiness.
Ensure all recruiting practices meet federal, state, and local requirements across a multi-state hiring footprint.
Build with AI
Build with Claude Code: design, test, and deploy AI-powered recruiting tools including applicant screening prompts, sourcing automation, candidate evaluation frameworks, debrief preparation packages, feedback collection workflows, and pipeline analytics.
Reshape the TA team's workflows around AI capability. Build prompt libraries, agent patterns, and automated checks that scale team output beyond headcount. The goal: a two-person TA team performing like four.
Own applicant screening calibration: set and refine auto-advance, auto-reject, and human-review thresholds. Audit screening decisions for accuracy and bias.
Drive adoption of AI sourcing tools and auto-scheduling across the team. Manual work is the exception, not the norm.
Know when AI gets to a defensible answer faster and when the problem requires human judgment. Set that standard for the team.
Share effective AI use cases and best practices across the broader People team.
What You'll Bring
5-9 years of full-cycle recruiting experience with 1-3 years of direct people management in a TA function.
Strong recruiting practitioner: experienced across a variety of role types and seniority levels in a SaaS or fintech environment.
Proven people manager: develops talent, coaches on craft, delivers clear feedback, and retains strong performers.
Hands-on experience building with AI tools (Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or equivalent) in a professional context. You build solutions on top of these tools, not just use them for search. This is non-negotiable.
Data-driven approach to recruiting operations; comfortable working with TA metrics and using data to improve team and individual performance.
Experience managing TA vendor relationships, including tool evaluation, contract negotiation, and renewal recommendations.
Experience with Greenhouse or comparable ATS, including configuration and optimization. Familiarity with BrightHire, LinkedIn Recruiter, and AI-powered sourcing tools.
Knowledge of hiring-related compliance: OFCCP, EEO, background check regulations, and multi-state employment law.
Strong communicator and relationship builder; trusted by hiring managers and respected by the team.
Experience in a high-growth SaaS or fintech company is required.
What Success Looks Like at Six Months
Recruiting delivery across your team is reliable: pipelines are healthy, time-to-fill is tracked and trending in the right direction, and hiring managers trust the process.
You have driven at least one meaningful improvement to TA process, tooling, or candidate experience that is already showing measurable results.
Your hands-on recruiting work is strong enough that your team learns from it. You are modeling the standard, not just enforcing it.
Hiring managers across your team's desks describe their recruiting experience as high-quality, proactive, and well-organized.
At least one AI-powered tool or workflow you built is in production and demonstrably saving time or improving quality.
The TA-to-onboarding handoff is clean, consistent, and requires zero manual chasing from the People Ops team.
Vendor relationships (Greenhouse, BrightHire, LinkedIn) are actively managed with clear ROI tracking.
