About this role

Dust is seeking a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to build and scale our go-to-market organization in San Francisco or New York. This role suits an experienced recruiter who thinks like an executive talent partner rather than a high-volume screener.

Role Overview

Dust is hiring a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to drive full-cycle recruiting for our US go-to-market teams. This position requires someone who has previously built a GTM team from near scratch and brings a strong professional network. You will operate as a strategic advisor to leadership, designing effective hiring systems and shaping the future of our workforce with an AI-first mindset.

Key Responsibilities

Own full-cycle recruiting for US go-to-market functions, including Sales, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Partnerships, and Marketing.
Drive headhunting and network-driven sourcing as the primary pipeline driver instead of relying on inbound applicants.
Partner closely with hiring managers to define role scopes, establish scorecards, design interview processes, and calibrate expectations for GTM roles.
Act as a strategic advisor on the hiring plan by challenging priorities when misaligned and advising the business on sequencing and trade-offs.
Build and maintain proactive relationships within the community by attending events and staying close to talent pools before reqs officially open.
Design and improve recruitment systems, scorecards, sourcing workflows, and leverage AI to scale talent operations.
Navigate competing priorities across multiple GTM leaders, build deep trust, and help stakeholders distinguish between must-haves and nice-to-haves.

Requirements

Bring 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience with deep GTM and sales recruiting expertise at high-growth startups.
Demonstrated history of building GTM teams from an early stage.
Experience building systems that improved talent acquisition processes, such as scorecards, interview workflows, and automation.
Strong background in networking, community building, and proactive talent pool management.
Executive recruiter mindset focused on long-term relationships rather than a high-volume funnel approach.
Passion for AI's potential to transform work, actively using it to reinvent recruiting and familiarity with modern ATS platforms like Ashby.
Exceptional multi-stakeholder management, direct communication style, and high agency to identify gaps and fix them independently.
