About the role

We are scaling a global engineering-led company operating at the intersection of AI, vision systems, and manufacturing. We are looking for a Head of Recruiting to build and run a recruiting engine that can scale headcount rapidly while maintaining a high bar for quality and culture.

This is a hands-on, operator role. You will both lead and execute — building recruiting infrastructure, managing a small team, partnering with agencies, and personally closing key hires when needed. You will personally own specific requirements and source some candidates yourself in the first 6–12 months.

What you’ll do
  • Own end-to-end recruiting across all roles and geographies

  • Build and manage a small internal recruiting team

  • Individually own recruiting expansions in new geographies or for senior roles

  • Manage multiple external recruiting agencies globally and decide on how to work with agencies effectively longer term

  • Design scalable recruiting processes, tools, and reporting

  • Partner closely with the CEO and key leadership (COO, CTO, Sales lead, APAC lead) on hiring strategy

  • Drive hiring plans tied to headcount goals and budgets

  • Maintain hiring quality and cultural alignment as the company scales

  • Travel quarterly to the US/TW (depending on location) and ad-hoc travel to China (~20% travel) to stay closely aligned with leadership and hiring managers

What we’re looking for
  • Experience scaling headcount rapidly (e.g., 1→10, 10→100, or similar)

  • Proven ability to lead a small recruiting team and external partners

  • Hands-on sourcing experience, including closing senior or critical hires

  • Strong operational and execution mindset

  • Ability to design structure and process without over-bureaucratizing

  • Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

  • Strong international sourcing experience, especially in China, Taiwan, or similar regions

Nice to have
  • Experience recruiting in technical domains (engineering, hardware, AI, manufacturing, automation)

  • Experience recruiting across multiple countries

  • Exposure to building recruiting infrastructure from scratch

Why join
  • Join a company on a rocketship trajectory with potential to own recruiting, people, and more

  • High-impact role with direct leadership partnership - this is not a typical HR role, recruiting is one of our most critical bottlenecks to enable growth

  • Opportunity to shape how the company scales globally

  • Ownership over systems, team, and outcomes

  • Work alongside world-class engineering and product leaders

Skills Required

  • Experience scaling headcount rapidly
  • Proven ability to lead a small recruiting team
  • Hands-on sourcing experience for senior hires
  • Strong operational and execution mindset
