Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Founding Recruiter will own the full-cycle hiring process across Engineering, GTM, and Operations to build the team for a physical AI company. Key duties include building a sourcing engine, designing structured interview frameworks, and managing the recruiting tech stack.
Candidates must have over 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience in high-growth startups or agencies, specifically with a track record of hiring technical talent. The role requires strong communication skills, analytical ability to optimize the hiring funnel, and a high bar for candidate quality.
Company Background
Specter's mission is to help automate the physical world.
Today, we build video sensors with state-of-the-art AI agents that answer any question, anywhere in their environments. Our systems can automatically detect and reason about any physical activity captured on camera, from security incidents (e.g. perimeter intrusion, theft, LPR), to safety monitoring (e.g. PPE detection, injured people), to operational efficiency (e.g. material tracking, congestion monitoring). We offer both long range wireless (1km range) and wired sensor variants to suit any deployment.
Our co-founders Xerxes and Philip are passionate about empowering our partners in the fast approaching world of physical AI and robotics. We are a small, fast growing team who hail from Anduril, Tesla, Uber, and the U.S. Special Forces.
The Role
You’ll join our team of relentless builders in bringing frontier AI to the physical economy, where the problems are hard, the data is complex, and the impact is immediate and tangible.
Our Founding Recruiter will build the team that builds the LLM for the physical world. This is a hands-on role where you’ll hire exceptional engineers and operators who will solve some of the hardest problems in applied AI.
Responsibilities
Own full-cycle recruiting. Run the entire hiring process from initial call to signed offer across Engineering, GTM, Operations, and future teams.
Run a process that is fast, rigorous, honest, and human. Keep candidates informed and make every interaction reflect the quality of the company we are building.
Build the sourcing engine that actually finds the right people. You'll develop creative, targeted approaches to reach exceptional candidates for roles that don't have obvious pipelines.
Design processes that help us hire well. Build structured interview plans, scorecards, and debrief frameworks that produce consistent signal and high-quality decisions.
Own our recruiting operations. Manage and continuously improve our recruiting stack, including Ashby, sourcing tools, and analytics.
Raise hiring quality over time. Identify bottlenecks, track the right metrics, and improve our funnel.
Shape Specter's brand as an employer. Craft job descriptions, recruiting content, and candidate messaging that make the right people want to work here.
5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in a high-growth startup or agency environment.
Proven success hiring exceptional technical talent, with experience recruiting across multiple functions.
Excited to build zero to one. You enjoy creating systems, improving processes, and figuring things out without a playbook.
High bar for candidate quality. You value making the right hire not making a fast hire
Ability to communicate clearly and intelligently. Understand a complex product, describe it simply, and earn credibility with deeply technical individuals.
Analytical enough to diagnose problems. Know every aspect of the candidate pipeline, identify patterns, and improve recruiting performance over time.
Highly organized. Able to manage multiple tasks while keeping leaders, hiring teams, and candidates informed.
Be the reason your fund wins the deal of the decade.
Specter delivers real-time data and insights on private companies, enabling investors to make informed, confident decisions. Harness the power of live data and AI-driven analysis to outsmart the competition and make confident decisions in private markets.
