Co-Founder & CEO: For the Talent Leader Who's Ready to Fix Tech Hiring

Have you ever sat in a hiring debrief and wished you could replace "gut feeling" with actual data? Have you struggled to align a dozen interviewers on what "good" actually looks like for a single role? Have you spent your career trying to build fair, effective, and scalable hiring processes, only to be limited by the tools available?

If you believe the biggest problem in technical recruiting isn't the lack of candidates, but the lack of a consistent and intelligent process, then this is for you.

This is not an offer for a job. It's an invitation to build the company you always wished you could be a customer of.

The Mission: HireVector

I am an experienced engineering leader and CTO, and I have already started building the solution: HireVector.

HireVector is an early-stage venture building the hiring intelligence platform that brings structure, alignment, and fairness to technical interviews. We’re moving beyond simple code tests to focus on what truly matters: helping teams agree on what "good" looks like, guiding interviewers in real-time, and providing actionable, narrative feedback that improves the entire system.

I am looking for a partner, a co-founder, to lead this mission with me.

Your Role: Co-Founder & CEO

As the business and market-facing leader of HireVector, you will be the architect of our growth and the voice of our customer. Your mission will be to:

• Be the Soul of the Product: Infuse your firsthand knowledge of the pains and complexities of talent acquisition into our product strategy, ensuring we build something people genuinely need.

• Architect our Go-to-Market: Design and execute the strategy that gets HireVector into the hands of our first 10, then 100, then 1,000 customers.

• Evangelize the Vision: Build relationships with leaders in the tech and HR communities, positioning HireVector as the definitive solution for hiring intelligence.

• Build the Business: Shape our company culture, define our commercial model, and build the non-technical side of the organization from the ground up.

• Co-lead Fundraising: Partner with me to craft a compelling narrative and secure the capital needed to fuel our growth.

About You: The Partner We're Looking For

You aren't just an applicant; you are the other half of this company's founding DNA.

• You've Lived the Problem: You have significant experience as an in-house Head of Talent, VP of People, or a similar leadership role within a fast-growing tech or product company. You have felt the pain.

• You're a Strategic Builder: You've built hiring functions, implemented processes, and understand the intricate dance between hiring managers, candidates, and leadership.

• You're an Empathetic Leader: You care deeply about candidate experience and believe fairness and efficiency are not mutually exclusive.

• You're Resilient and Ambitious: You thrive in ambiguity and are driven by the desire to build something meaningful from zero. You are ready to move from managing a process to creating an industry-defining product.

• The "Unicorn" Profile (The Ideal): You may have started your career at a top recruiting agency where you mastered sales and networking, before moving in-house to gain deep, strategic operational experience.

What I (Your CTO & Co-Founder) Bring to the Table

• A proven technical leader with the ability to architect and build a scalable, AI-driven SaaS platform.

• A clear product vision and the initial roadmap for our MVP.

• A deep commitment to a true partnership founded on trust, transparency, and a shared obsession with solving this problem.

• While you architect the business, I will architect the technology.

The Offer: A True Stake in Our Future

• Title: Co-Founder & CEO

• Equity: A significant co-founder equity stake, reflecting your foundational role in the company (subject to a standard 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff).

• Compensation: A founder-level salary to be established upon securing our first round of funding, which we will achieve together.
