Alex is one of the fastest-growing startups to come out of our YC batch, building at the frontier of AI and hiring. We’re generating strong revenue, are backed by strong investors, and have years of runway.
We move quickly, and we’re changing how companies hire. Our AI recruiter, Alex, conducts live job interviews, helping companies get deep hiring signals faster. Alex helps recruiters with their busy work so they can focus on higher leverage tasks and building relationships with promising candidates.
About the RoleWe’re quickly scaling from a team of 20 to 100, and we need our first recruiting leader - someone who can build up our talent function from 0 to 1.
