About this role

The Business Recruiter position at fal in San Francisco is a full-time talent acquisition role responsible for managing end-to-end recruitment across technical and business functions. This opportunity suits an experienced, high-agency recruiter who thrives in a fast-paced, flat startup environment and holds a passion for generative AI.

Role Overview

In this position, the professional acts as a key strategic partner to the business by driving recruitment processes from intake to candidate close. The role covers a wide range of searches, shifting seamlessly between engineering, infrastructure, research, go-to-market, finance, legal, and operations departments. Operating within a deliberately flat and rapid organization, the individual has total ownership over talent acquisition strategies and candidate pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

Manage full-cycle searches completely, covering intake, strategy, sourcing, screening, interview processes, offers, and closes.
Advise hiring managers using market data, shape role design, and guide recruitment decisions with expert candidate assessments.
Discover non-obvious talent by looking beyond standard sourcing channels to reach under-the-radar builders and passive candidates.
Build robust talent pipelines through direct outreach, referrals, industry events, communities, and AI sourcing tools.
Advocate fal's mission, manage compensation discussions, and successfully close top-tier candidates.
Calibrate interview loops to prioritize high agency and independent thinking over simple résumé strength.
Improve hiring processes, templates, and reporting methods utilizing Ashby and AI automation.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, featuring significant in-house tenure at a high-growth startup.
Proven success in recruiting for both technical roles like engineering, infrastructure, and machine learning, alongside non-technical functions such as GTM, finance, legal, and operations.
Exceptional sourcing capability with a history of hiring passive candidates who did not originally apply.
Experience acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, with the confidence to use data to disagree when necessary.
Strong closing skills and the ability to navigate compensation conversations independently.
High agency mindset capable of running searches autonomously without micromanagement.
Genuine enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and generative media.

Nice to Have

Background working at an AI, developer-tools, or infrastructure company.
Experience hiring early-stage or first-of-kind roles that require defining the candidate profile from scratch.
Familiarity with Ashby, AI sourcing platforms, and workflow automation tools.
