Responsibilities
- Partner closely with technical leadership to deeply understand hiring needs while providing strategic guidance on recruiting best practices
- Build and nurture a strong pipeline of talent
- Lead strategic sourcing initiatives to engage top-tier, passive candidates across various technical disciplines
- Use AI as a core part of your daily workflow: for research, candidate identification, personalized outreach drafting, call summarization, and surfacing signal from messy data
- Stay on top of market trends, comp benchmarks, and where the talent pool is moving
- Own the entire recruiting lifecycle from intake through offer close, across our functions and geographies
- Run intake meetings with hiring managers and interviewers to build a shared, precise picture of the role and evaluation criteria before sourcing starts
- Ask first-principles and self-starter questions live in interviews — we're evaluating how people think, not just what they've done
- Push back when a search is mis-scoped, surface comp reality early, and turn hiring-manager wishlists into a concrete profile within days
- Close candidates who have competing offers — build conviction, sequence references well, and win on substance
- Maintain the ATS (GreenHouse) with real pipeline discipline, so reporting and funnel metrics are trustworthy
- Run debriefs after each hire (and each miss) and feed learnings back into how we hire
- Own creation of job descriptions and interview scorecards
- Manage relationships with our external recruiting agency partners
- Deliver a fair, transparent, and fast candidate experience — clear feedback, offers that move in days rather than weeks
- Support employer brand work, campus/lateral recruiting events, and other ad-hoc talent projects
- Contribute to comp benchmarking and broader improvements to how Modo evaluates talent
Requirements
- 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, somewhere high-growth or fast-paced where the bar was genuinely non-negotiable
- A startup background — you know how to hire well without much infrastructure behind you
- Comfort using AI in your day-to-day recruiting workflow already, or genuine eagerness to make it core to how you work
- Demonstrated closing skill against competing offers
- High-agency operating mode: you own outcomes, flag problems early, and don't wait to be told what's next
- Excellent written communication — your outbound and candidate updates are part of the work product and should read that way
- Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-autonomy, low-process environment across multiple time zones and countries
- Based in NY and able to work hybrid, in-office Tuesday–Thursday
Nice to Have
- Experience recruiting commercial or GTM roles (AE, AM, CSM) at a high-growth SaaS, data, fintech, or energy company
- Experience recruiting analyst or technical roles alongside commercial ones
- Experience building or contributing to an AI-augmented sourcing or screening workflow
- Familiarity with Greenhouse, plus LinkedIn Recruiter, Notion, and Slack
- Experience hiring across multiple countries simultaneously
Benefits
- A seat at the table on hiring decisions that genuinely shape the company — not a coordinator role

- Compensation benchmarked to pay top of your personal market, reviewed twice a year
- All employees receive share options
- Hybrid working, in-office Tuesday-Thursday, across our London, New York, Madrid, and Sydney offices
