Traction: We've flown past 7 figures in revenue, with dozens of enterprise staffing customers including the largest staffing firm in the world
Market opportunity: Our customers are the premier firms of the $600B+ staffing industry. We're working to reinvent how that market operates from the ground up

Partner directly with the CEO and founding team to define roles, calibrate on talent bar, and move fast on top candidates
Source and close exceptional technical and commercial talent in one of the most competitive hiring markets in the world
Bring a recruiter's lens to the product itself. You'll have direct input into how Ropes thinks about candidate evaluation because you live it every day
You're more interested in building a company's foundation than filling reqs at scale
You have 2 to 5 years of experience in technical recruiting or talent acquisition at an early-stage or growth-stage B2B software company
You've hired engineers and know how to evaluate technical talent, speak credibly with candidates about the stack, and sell a vision when the company is still small
You're a strong sourcer who doesn't wait for applicants. You build pipeline through outbound, referrals, events, and creative channels
You're organized, fast-moving, and obsessive about candidate experience from first touch to offer close
You've operated in an environment where recruiting wasn't a department. It was just you (or close to it)
Early impact: You'll hire the people who define what Ropes becomes. Every seat matters at this stage
Ownership: This isn't a role where you execute a hiring plan someone else wrote. You'll shape the team, the process, and the culture from the ground up
Growth trajectory: High performers will have a clear path to Head of Talent as we scale from 10 to 50+
Product influence: You're not just recruiting for a hiring platform. Your recruiting experience will directly inform how we build the product
