Primer is hiring its first Founding Recruiter to build our hiring engine from the ground up. This is a critical, hands-on role where you will be the force behind scaling our team as we work to fix the K-12 education system. You will own end-to-end recruiting across all functions, sourcing niche talent to solve novel problems.

What You'll Do

Partner closely with hiring managers across teams (education, operations, engineering, product, finance, and more) to understand their needs and build strong pipelines of exceptional candidates.
Build and maintain candidate outreach strategies — including cold sourcing, passive engagement, and creative ways to reach new talent pools.
Manage internal hiring infrastructure, ensuring every candidate moves through a clear, well-structured process.
Quickly ramp up on new roles and lead first-round screening calls for teams across the company.
Represent Primer to candidates with professionalism, clarity, and excitement about our mission — you’ll almost always be their first impression of our team.
Track and report on recruiting progress and metrics to the leadership team, ensuring we’re constantly improving with each new search.

What We're Looking For

Experience in a full-cycle recruiting or talent acquisition role.
Proven success sourcing and hiring for a range of roles, from individual contributors to leadership positions across many teams.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to build trust with both candidates and the internal team.
High agency and high organizational skills — you’ll need to manage multiple searches and deliver an exceptional candidate experience.
