Talent and People Lead

The role: Founding Talent Lead
In the last few months, we've proven repeatedly to the market that Flint is the team to build the future of the internet. It's now time to invite a recruiting leader in-house to build out the Talent and People function from the ground up. Flint has invested in the People function from Day 0. Hiring, investing in, and growing our people is a critical pillar of startup success. We're looking for a high-octane, high-care person to scale our engineering and GTM functions while maintaining our founding team's talent density.

The candidate we're looking for does the following:

Own the end-to-end recruiting function: sourcing, recruiting, coordinating, closing

Build a world-class talent brand - we want everyone in the AI tech and marketing community to know Flint's reputation for talent density

Position Flint front and center in front of world-class talent

Get sky's-the-limit creative on top of funnel sourcing - events, videos, growth hacks

Strong bonus points for a strong social media presence

Directly influence the way Flint nurtures, hires, onboards, and cares for our talent

Partner directly with the founders and their strong networks

Lead by influence from the inside, mobilizing our team to leverage our career and college networks

Maintain, manage and report on candidate pipelines, incl. relentless outbound sourcing, referrals, and proactive talent mapping

Build the heart of our recruiting engine with scalable systems and processes over time

Report on key talent acquisition metrics (e.g., time-to-hire, source effectiveness, candidate quality, funnel conversion) to drive iteration and improvement

Basic qualifications:

You have 3+ years of recruiting experience, ideally with deep technical recruiting exposure.

You're experienced using Ashby as an applicant tracking system, running outbound sourcing sequences, and enriching leads

You're familiar with mainstays like LinkedIn Recruiter but also with AI sourcing tools like Juicebox and Gem and Happenstance

You're familiar with highly competitive talent acquisition (aka. hiring during "talent wars")

You've leaned into AI and automation in setting up hiring systems and processes

You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and iterating through processes

You're an excellent, strategic communicator:

High empathy - for an overall great candidate experience

Identification - great "talent sense" - able to identify potential

Closing - convincing without ever being disingenuous

Preferred qualifications:

You have experience in hiring AI talent

Active social media presence - you live on X and LI yourself

You are well connected / embedded in tech networks

You genuinely understand the massive market opportunity for Flint (every business has a website), and have maybe lived this experience

You are excited by the prospect of being personally responsible for hiring the team that defines a new category

You have prior experience in the People function beyond talent acquisition (total benefits, workplace, etc.)
