What You'll Do

Run the hiring engine end-to-end – Lead and grow the talent team. Own hiring plans, pipelines, and outcomes across all functions; making sure we have the right people at the right time without slowing the business down.

Make recruiting a data advantage – Build a recruiting engine driven by real metrics; time-to-fill, pipeline velocity, source performance, quality of hire. Know what’s working and adjust quickly.

Scale what works – Design systems, processes, and tooling that scale from hundreds to thousands of hires without sacrificing quality.

Raise the bar on hiring – Iterate on our structured interview frameworks and calibrate hiring managers so candidates are consistently evaluated the “Steadily way.”

Stay close to the most important hires – For critical roles, personally drive strategy, sourcing, and closing. Lead from the front when it matters.

Own sourcing and spend efficiency – Decide where we invest; channels, tools, agencies; and ensure strong ROI on every dollar.

Build a high‑performing team – Hire, develop, and level up recruiters; creating a team that moves fast, holds a high bar, and takes ownership.

Partner with leadership – Work directly with founders and execs on org design, hiring plans, and talent tradeoffs; helping shape how the company grows.

Think beyond recruiting – Oversee HR; compliance, onboarding, basic people ops. We view HR as an administrative function that should run cleanly in the background, not a strategic center of gravity.

Protect and scale the culture – As we grow, ensure we don’t lose what makes Steadily work; embed our culture into hiring, onboarding, and leadership.

Your Background

You’ve done this before – 10+ years in recruiting with at least two years leading the talent acquisition strategy at a high‑growth company (Series B–D or similar). You’ve scaled teams quickly without lowering the bar.

You build systems – You’ve built or significantly improved a recruiting function; process, tools, structure.

You run on data – You manage the funnel with real metrics and make decisions based on them.

You can zoom out and in – You think strategically but understand the details well enough to execute.

You move fast – You’re comfortable in ambiguity and know how to add structure without slowing things down.

You’re credible – You can sit across from a founder or a senior hire and hold your own. You push back when needed; you also know how to sell and close high‑caliber talent.

You know the tools – Modern ATS (we use Ashby), sourcing tools, recruiting analytics; you’re fluent. You’ll be telling us about tools we haven’t used before.

You lead well – You attract strong recruiters, set a high bar, and help them raise the standard. You create a culture of ownership and accountability.

You take ownership – You don’t wait to be told what to fix. It’s your department. You identify the gaps, take responsibility, and solve them.
