What are the responsibilities and job description for the Talent Acquisition Specialist position at Hearth?
About Hearth
Hearth exists because 50-80% of small businesses in the trades (Roofers, Plumbers, etc.) fail within their first five years. Our mission is to change that forever, and empower small business contractors to build and grow successful companies.
In the last few years, we’ve built an all-in-one platform that helps SMBs grow sales, protect profits, and save time. With over 10,000 customers, Hearth is a vertical SaaS platform powered by a financial services layer that is currently powering billions in home improvement projects. We are growing, profitable in our base case, and are working to disrupt a fragmented, underserved, $600B market.
Backed by the same investors as SpaceX, Stripe, Palantir, Airbnb, Rippling, Affirm, Brex, and OpenAI (Founders Fund, 8VC, Human Capital), we aim to protect small business entrepreneurship in America, redefine what is possible in running a trades business in today’s rapidly changing world, and bring forth a future where every small business owner in the trades can succeed, despite not having a fancy pedigree, special connections, or access to deep pockets.
The Opportunity
As a General Talent Acquisition Specialist at Hearth, you will be the primary engine behind our headcount growth across Engineering, Product, and Operations. This role will directly influence our technical bar and organizational culture by hunting for high-impact talent in a competitive B2B fintech landscape.
If you thrive on the variety of closing a Senior Software Engineer one day and a Marketing Lead the next, this role offers the autonomy to own the full recruiting lifecycle and the visibility to partner directly with our executive leadership.
What You’ll Do

What You’ll Do
Full-Cycle Recruiting & Strategy
- Manage end-to-end recruitment for a diverse req load, focusing heavily on Software Engineering, Product, and Business Operations.
- Partner with hiring managers to define success profiles, build interview loops, and set a high bar for talent.
- Act as a talent advisor, providing market insights and data-driven recommendations to leadership to refine hiring strategies.
- Proactively hunt for passive talent using LinkedIn Recruiter, Github, and modern AI-sourcing tools.
- Build "warm" talent communities for recurring technical and operational needs to ensure we stay ahead of our growth milestones.
- Own the candidate journey from the initial "hook" through to complex offer negotiations and closing.
- Act as a brand ambassador, articulating Hearth’s vision and technical challenges to senior-level candidates.
- Implement AI and automation tools to streamline top-of-funnel sourcing and reduce administrative friction.
- Maintain impeccable ATS data integrity to track metrics like time-to-hire, pass-through rates, and sourcing channel effectiveness.
- 2 years of full-cycle recruiting experience. You must have a proven track record in technical recruiting (Eng/Product) combined with experience in business or ops roles.

- You understand the pace, ambiguity, and high stakes of a fast-growing SaaS or Fintech environment.
- You use recruiting metrics to tell a story and adjust your strategy when a search gets tough.
- You can speak the language of engineers and the language of executives with equal fluency.
- Truth. We value honesty and data. We seek to understand what is reality, so we can effectively respond to it.
- Slope. Rate of change over time. We hire and reward based on a team member’s potential, capacity, and growth-mindset, rather than a fancy resume.
- Mutual Benefit. The best outcomes happen when everyone wins - customers, team members, and the company. We seek to understand each other’s aspirations and create alignment to get there.
- Competitive Greatness. We desire an opportunity and environment from which to pull the greatest versions of ourselves out into the world, rather than just a “job”.
- Mission-driven, values-based culture.
- Competitive pay.
- Unmatched opportunities to learn and develop; front-row seat at a fast-growing tech startup
- Unlimited PTO, plus paid company holidays.
- Meaningful equity
- Medical, dental, and vision options.
- 401(k)
- Free Employee Assistance Program
- Parental Leave Program
- Pet Insurance
