Founding Recruiter

What we're looking for?

We need someone with 3–8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally including time at an early-stage or high-growth startup, who has built recruiting processes from scratch and can sell an early-stage company honestly. You should be comfortable owning hiring across engineering, product, go-to-market, and operations while managing external recruiting agencies day to day, and have a track record of helping a company scale (for example, from about 20 to 200 people). Bonus points if you have worked at a well-known tech company (DoorDash, Uber, Stripe, Ramp, Clay) and then moved to a smaller startup, or if you have been the first hire in a function.

What you'll do

• Own hiring end to end across engineering, product, go-to-market, and operations: run intake with hiring managers, source and screen candidates, manage interview loops, and close offers
• Take ownership of our agency partners: set search priorities, coordinate day to day, gather feedback, align next steps, and hold agencies accountable for quality and speed
• Work closely with the Chief of Staff, the founders, and every hiring manager to protect Avallon's talent bar and culture fit as we more than double headcount
• Build scorecards, structured interviews, and hiring manager training so every loop is consistent and every decision is based on evidence
• Lead proactive pipeline building from outbound sourcing to referrals and networks, so new openings start with candidates already warm
• Own and analyze our ATS and recruiting data (pipeline health, agency performance, time to hire) to fix what slows hiring down, and grow into leading the recruiting team, with a possible future path into People/HR
