Head of Talent

Join Zeffy, a fast-growing startup, as the Head of Talent. In this role, you will own the entire recruiting function, directly recruit for hard-to-fill roles, coach hiring managers and recruiters, and build the employer brand. You will report directly to the CEO and manage a team of two recruiters. Ideal candidates have 5+ years of experience in talent/recruiting, have personally closed hard-to-fill roles, and are excited about AI and recruiting tech.

• Recruit directly by sourcing, screening, and closing hard-to-fill roles, especially senior and cross-functional positions.
• Lead, coach, and build a team of recruiters by sharpening their sourcing, screening, and closing skills, and improving processes.
• Build the employer brand by coordinating content, events, and partnerships that make Zeffy visible to the people we want to attract.

We're looking for someone with 5+ years leading a talent/recruiting function, ideally in a fast-growing startup or in a context where hiring bar was high.

• You've personally closed hard-to-fill roles
• You've coached hiring managers and recruiters and made them measurably better
• You've built or significantly improved recruiting processes and know when structure helps vs. when it gets in the way
• You're excited about AI and recruiting tech as real levers

**Bonus:**

• Experience recruiting in both North America and Europe
• Experience in HR / People
