Working at Valence means building the team behind one of the fastest-growing companies in enterprise AI. You'll run searches across GTM and technical roles, work closely with hiring managers, and own your process from first conversation to signed offer. The bar is high, and you'll help hold it.
The Role
We're hiring a Senior Recruiter to run full-cycle searches at a critical stage of Valence's growth. You'll report to the Director of Talent Acquisition and carry a portfolio of roles across GTM and technical teams.
You'll work closely with hiring managers to scope roles, build pipelines and run interview processes that lead to strong hires. This role suits someone who loves the craft of recruiting, moves fast, and wants a lot of ownership over their searches.
What You'll Do
Own full-cycle recruiting for a portfolio of GTM (Sales, CS, Marketing) and technical roles, from intake through close
Run intake with hiring managers to define role scope, level and what success looks like
Build pipelines through proactive sourcing, referrals and network mapping, with a focus on reaching top-quartile talent
Run structured interview processes and keep interviewers prepared and aligned on what they're assessing
Manage offers and closing, working with the hiring team on compensation and candidate concerns
Give candidates a high-touch, honest experience, whatever the outcome
Track your funnel (conversion, source quality, time-to-hire) and use it to keep searches on pace
Share what you're seeing in the market on talent, comp and competitors with hiring managers and the TA team
Keep Ashby clean and up to date so it stays our source of truth
Try AI sourcing and screening tools in your workflow and share what works with the team
What We're Looking For
5+ years of full-cycle, in-house recruiting experience in high-growth B2B SaaS or AI companies, across GTM hiring and ideally some technical hiring
A track record of closing strong candidates in competitive markets through your own sourcing
Strong sourcing instincts and an active network; you don't wait on inbound
Comfort working autonomously in a fast-moving environment with several searches at once
Confidence partnering with hiring managers, including giving candid input on candidates and process
Data fluency: you know your funnel and use it to make decisions
Genuine curiosity about AI and how it can improve recruiting
Experience with Ashby or a comparable ATS
Nice to have
Hands-on use of AI sourcing, screening or ops tools day to day
Hiring for the "consulting / professional services → tech" profile, or recruiting in NYC's AI/tech market
Startup experience as one of the first recruiters
Exposure to employer brand or recruiting events

Outsized missions from day one, with direct responsibility for company-defining projects
Work alongside the executive team with transparency into strategy and decision-making
