Founding Head of Talent

Zingage is an AI platform for home‑based care, scaling with advanced AI agents to handle over 2,600 scheduling calls per week and a GTM system that pre‑prepares sellers.
We are growing from about 20 to 40 employees in the next three months and need to onboard 20 new hires across engineering, AI/ML, product design, and enterprise sales. Your role is to build and own a world‑class recruiting function that fuels this rapid growth.
Responsibilities

Own the entire recruiting function: sourcing, screening, and closing until you build and lead a team.
Develop a proactive pipeline for approximately ten open engineering, AI/ML, product design, enterprise sales, and GTM roles.
Work with functional leaders to anticipate quarterly hiring needs.
Build and scale the outbound engine to replace reliance on contingent recruiters.
Design and implement the interview process, defining what we test for and how we evaluate candidates.
Deliver an end‑to‑end high‑touch candidate experience from first outreach through signed offer.
Maintain recruiting infrastructure, including Ashby optimization, pipeline analytics, and conversion metrics.
Qualifications

Experience sourcing and closing roles at a rapidly growing company (e.g., Ramp, Uber) with high‑volume sourcing and cold outreach that converts.
A proven builder mindset that has scaled an in‑house recruiting function.
Strong opinions about quality; proven ability to defend high‑quality hires against salary or prestige arguments.
Obsessive focus on pipeline – building relationships even before requisitions open.
Desire to own a department from scratch rather than inherit an existing one.
Not a good fit

Someone who posts a job and waits for inbound candidates.
Someone who optimizes for speed over quality.
Someone who requires a CHRO or executive to dictate day‑to‑day activities.
