We’re intentionally open to a range of recruiting backgrounds. You might come from technical recruiting, GTM or G&A hiring, regulated industries, or a mix of domains. What matters most is that you know how to run a disciplined search, close strong candidates, and operate like an owner.
This role reports directly to Rho’s Head of People & Talent and is based out of our NYC office, 5 days a week.

What You’ll Do
- Lead full-cycle recruiting from kickoff to close for priority roles across the business, aligned to your strengths (e.g., Technical, GTM, G&A, Risk/Compliance, Operations).
- Treat recruiting like half art, half science: Find creative ways to position Rho before the strongest operators in the business; A/B test messaging; take a human-first approach.
- Obsess over our metrics and beating them, all the time.
- Partner with the Talent & People org and cross-functional partners globally to advance and absorb Rho’s talent brand and strategy.
- Focus on quality over quantity. We know that a lean team of A talent is infinitely better than a large team of B-players.
- Act as an owner: your job is not to hire people—it’s to build a business.
- 4 years of recruiting experience, with depth in at least one domain (Technical, GTM, G&A, or regulated functions like finance, risk, compliance).
- A passion for experimentation and craft: you multiply your leverage with AI, try new tools, and refuse to stop until you get it right.
- Experience operating in high-accountability environments (startups, fintech, financial services, or similarly rigorous orgs).
- High ownership and accountability—you take responsibility for getting the job done.
- Strong knowledge of the talent market—where to find excellent builders, and how to speak their language.
- Operational excellence—you know how to run a disciplined search and coach hiring managers along the way.
- Clear, persuasive communication and storytelling skills.
- A bias for urgency, ownership, and high standards.
- Confidence working with sensitive roles and high-integrity functions.
