Talent Acquisition Lead

As the founding TA leader, you will directly influence company growth, hiring velocity, culture quality, and employer brand.

Drive data-backed decision making across sourcing, conversion, and offer acceptance

Leverage networks, referrals, events, communities, and creative sourcing strategies
Establish Peoplebox as a magnet for high-caliber talent
Candidate Experience & Employer Brand

Improve speed, predictability, and quality of hires
Evaluate and optimize ATS and recruitment tech stack
Stakeholder Management
Coach hiring managers on interviewing and talent assessment
Influence leadership on talent trade-offs and hiring decisions

What We’re Looking For
5+ years of recruiting experience with strong exposure to technology hiring
Experience building or scaling hiring functions in high-growth startups
Strong understanding of structured interviews, competency mapping, and talent calibration
Proven ability to hire for complex, senior, and business-critical roles
Comfort working closely with founders and senior leadership
High ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently
Strong communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills
Familiarity with SaaS or HR Tech ecosystems is a plus
Why This Role Matters
This is a foundational leadership opportunity. You will shape the company’s talent DNA, build the systems that scale with us, and directly impact how we grow over the next decade.
If you are excited about building from zero, influencing leadership decisions, and hiring exceptional people who will define the future of AI-powered talent management, this role is for you.
