Talent AI Operator

About the Role

Help make AI-powered recruiting work reliably at scale in an early-stage recruiting technology company. You will oversee autonomous recruiting agents, apply human judgment to candidate conversations, and help shape how people and AI work together throughout the hiring process.

What You'll Do

• Monitor candidate conversations handled by AI agents, identify errors, and step in when human judgment is needed.

• Guide senior candidates through complex conversations, objections, compensation discussions, and final hiring stages.

• Review agent responses, label quality, and provide examples and feedback to improve performance.

• Audit candidate matches, outreach quality, and conversion metrics across recruiting pipelines.

• Manage offer discussions and help candidates complete placements successfully.

• Document effective practices, create operating procedures, and build playbooks for human and AI collaboration.

• Work with product, engineering, and company leadership to improve recruiting operations and agent behavior.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of experience in recruiting, sourcing, or talent operations at early-stage technology startups.

• Hands-on experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar to evaluate outputs, identify errors, and understand limitations.

• Experience closing placements and personally managing final-stage candidate conversations, including offer negotiation and objection handling.

• Experience using recruiting data, such as KPIs, dashboards, A/B tests, or conversion analysis, to guide decisions.

• Experience labeling outputs or providing feedback to improve AI, machine learning, or agent performance.

• Comfort collaborating cross-functionally in a startup environment and creating operational documentation.

• Familiarity with one or more of TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, or Supabase is helpful.
