Technical Recruiter

Manifest OS is an AI-native company on a mission to replace the billable hour and make legal services more accessible for American businesses and consumers. We power the next generation of AI-native law firms with one unified global brand, a proprietary technology platform, and a centralized back office — enabling lawyers to eliminate the administrative burden and focus on delivering exceptional outcomes for their clients. Manifest OS has raised a $60M Series A from Menlo Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, First Round, and Quiet Capital.

Manifest OS is hiring its first Technical Recruiter to build our hiring processes for our technical roles. You’ll partner closely with Engineering and Product leaders to run high-impact searches, shape hiring strategy, and ensure an exceptional candidate experience from first touch to close.

As our first Technical Recruiter, you'll own full-cycle searches across Engineering and Product — acting as a true talent advisor who shapes strategy, influences decisions, and drives predictable hiring outcomes.

• Own full-cycle searches across Engineering and Product, from intake through close, with direct visibility into company growth

• Drive hiring strategy by advising managers on role definition, market realities, and funnel expectations — not just executing searches

• Build top-of-funnel pipelines through creative sourcing, referrals, and outbound strategies

• Use data to diagnose search health, identify bottlenecks, and refine process to accelerate outcomes

• Deliver a structured, inclusive candidate experience that raises the hiring bar at every stage

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in high-growth, tech-enabled environments, with 2+ years focused on technical roles

• Operates as a business partner — uses market data and insights to guide hiring managers toward faster, better decisions

• Breaks complex searches into clear plans and manages multiple searches with structure and predictable execution

• Communicates with presence and clarity, whether aligning with stakeholders or guiding candidates through the process

You're energized by building from scratch, love the puzzle of a hard search, and find as much satisfaction in coaching a hiring manager as in closing a candidate. You want a seat at the table — not just a req list.

You prefer a defined playbook and steady-state recruiting over building processes in real time. This role requires comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action. You’re not based in NY and excited about being hybrid.
