Founding Recruiter
Rowspace
The Role
As Rowspace's Founding Recruiter, you'll build the talent engine that powers our next phase of growth from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to shape how we hire, who we hire, and what it means to join Rowspace. In a typical week, you might be closing an offer with a senior engineer, refining our sourcing strategy for a hard-to-fill role, partnering with a hiring manager to sharpen their interview process, and thinking through how we tell our story to candidates who don't know us yet.
What You'll Do
Build talent pipelines and processes from the ground up
Recruit, source, and close technical and non-technical talent to help us grow our mission
Work closely with technical and non-technical hiring managers to translate their needs into job descriptions and interview processes that attract candidates
Help shape Rowspace's employer brand in the market
What You Have
6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 3 years in a high-growth startup environment
Comfortable evaluating engineering pipelines and partnering with technical hiring managers
Experience building recruiting processes and infrastructure, not just executing within existing ones
Strong instincts for talent by assessing for both skills and culture fit, and you know the difference between the two
Ability to use written and verbal communication to craft a cold outreach message that actually get responses or convince candidates this is the right place for them
Comfort operating with ambiguity and moving fast without sacrificing candidate or hiring manager experience
Familiarity with modern recruiting tools (Ashby knowledge is a plus)
Experience recruiting for GTM or finance-adjacent roles is a plus
Genuine curiosity about the financial technology or AI space. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be excited to become one
