You are a self-starter who loves the thrill of recruiting and talking about the tech market. You focus your efforts on attracting, sourcing, and hiring the best of the best talent. You report to our Head of People and work closely with our Recruiting Lead to fill our "hard-to-fill" roles.

You don't shy away from a challenge (and neither do we). We need to grow quickly while keeping diversity & inclusivity top-of-mind. You might have expertise in technical or sales recruiting, but you are excited about hiring for different areas of the business, from sales, marketing, and operations, to engineering and product.

Objectives

In your first month, you will start off by learning the ropes. You will:

• Develop a deep understanding of the ins and outs of recruiting here at Clarifai.
• Learn about our tech stack and be able to speak intelligently about Clarifai and artificial intelligence (we'll help you with that).
• Access our tools and job boards for recruiting, i.e. Lever, LinkedIn, and Stack Overflow.

3 months later, you start putting yourself out there. You will:

• Dive into full cycle recruiting, and build relationships as you go. Most of your time is spent sourcing and screening, so that we can focus on quality over quantity.
• Fill your first few roles. We all work together as a team to make this happen, so don't worry, you won't go it alone.
• Use innovative sourcing methods to tap into your networks in New York City.

6 months down the road, you will be on your way to making sure that you have identified a diverse applicant pool for each open position at Clarifai. You will:

• Begin to expand upon your online sourcing methods. Participating in events, meetups, and hackathons is a creative way for us to source phenomenal talent.
• Partner closely with the rest of the recruiting team to develop our hiring strategy, so that we can continue to scale our company and improve our recruiting process.

In 12 months, you will expand your efforts and have built a candidate pipeline for not only open positions, but potential future positions as well. You will:

• Innovate ways to attract and share Clarifai's story with potential applicants as we adapt to a changing industry landscape.
• Seek out speaking engagements that give you the opportunity to educate the community about Clarifai's recruiting efforts. We always support advocacy!
• Assist Layer Leads in all aspects of recruiting, i.e. help draft job descriptions. We know that recruiting isn't easy, so we will offer support whenever we can.

In the future, you will continue to establish yourself as a key member of the recruiting team by not only making individual contributions as a full cycle recruiter, but also working on high-level strategy and process improvement.
