What You'll Do
- Run full-cycle recruiting for U.S.-based roles using Clera's AI-powered platform.
- Review AI-generated matches and quickly identify the strongest, most relevant talent.
- Interview and qualify candidates, then present tight, high-signal shortlists to hiring managers.
- Join client calls, clarify role requirements, and provide honest, strategic hiring guidance.
- Act as a true partner to clients, including challenging unclear or unrealistic expectations.
- Own candidate pipelines end-to-end, ensuring fast, clean movement through every stage.
- Give structured feedback to the engineering team to improve matching logic and workflows.
- Keep candidate notes and process documentation accurate, up to date, and reliable.
- Prioritize across multiple searches and drive them to successful hires with minimal oversight.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years recruiting for U.S. clients or U.S.-based roles.
- Proven experience in fast-paced environments (startup or high-velocity agency).
- Strong client-facing presence: clear communication, expectation management, and relationship-building.
- Excellent English, written and spoken.
- Ability to work aligned with Pacific Time (PST), including occasional evening or weekend calls.
- High comfort with tools, ATS, and AI-driven workflows.
- Sharp judgment on skills, experience, and culture add—not just keyword matching.
