Founding Recruiter

Hyperbound
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/7/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/5/2026
At Hyperbound (YC S23), we’re building the Sales Performance OS, a new category of sales-tech that helps enterprise sales teams practice, measure, and scale top-performer behaviors.

In the last year we raised a $15M Series A, 5xd ARR, and over doubled our headcount. In 2026 we plan on doubling headcount again to support our rapid growth.

About The Role

This is a founding role, with massive impact on the trajectory of the company. We’ll rely on you to build a high-quality, repeatable talent pipeline, increase employer brand visibility, and create predictability for hiring managers through data driven systems.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a Founding Recruiter who can:

  • Build and execute strategic sourcing campaigns to uncover top-tier, often passive, candidates, using creative outreach, referrals, talent mapping, and events
  • Contribute to our employer brand, crafting messaging that attracts world-class builders
  • Conduct phone screens, coordinate interviews, and guide candidates through each stage with clarity and speed
  • Own applicant tracking system
  • Collaborate with founders to craft compensation offers
  • Coordinate the use of talent agencies

Qualifications

  • 5-7 years of full lifecycle recruiting experience working on technical roles.
  • Has a proven track record of sourcing and hiring passive candidates from top companies without fully relying on inbound applicants or referrals to build our talent pipeline.
  • Highly autonomous and self-starting, with a founder mindset and bias toward action.
  • Experience building out, tracking, and communicating recruiting metrics (pipeline health, funnel conversion, time-to-hire, etc.) to founders and department leaders.
  • Great business acumen and technical intuition. You don’t need to write code, but you should be able to quickly understand what makes someone excellent at building scalable systems.
  • Experience as an in-house recruiter at a fast pace series A-C company and recruiting non-technical roles are nice to haves.

Why Hyperbound?

  • We are the leader of a category that we invented.
  • Ownership over a critical function from day 1.
  • Work closely with founders and leadership. You will have high visibility and high impact.
  • A fast, ambitious, highly talented team that values creativity, velocity, and results.
  • We have great customer traction and raised a 15M series A. Now we need the talent to take us to the next level.
  • This is not a remote role! 5x/week at our SF office.
