About the role
Recruiting leadership role responsible for full-cycle hiring across GTM, Technical Sales, Revenue Operations, Partnerships, and Marketing, with a focus on building scalable recruiting processes and shaping who to hire in fal's GTM organization.
Responsibilities
- Run full-cycle search for GTM roles — from AEs in a new segment to senior leadership — with speed and a high hit rate
- Source proactively for a market where the best candidates aren't applying: people who can sell technical infrastructure to developers and close eight-figure enterprise commitments
- Build the recruiting operating system: pipeline health metrics, funnel diagnostics, forecasting, and scorecards that hold up when hiring volume doubles
- Design role-specific interview loops that actually predict performance at fal — including how we assess technical fluency in GTM hires who need to speak credibly to engineers
- Partner directly with GTM leadership and on headcount planning, leveling, and comp positioning
- Build diverse pipelines and keep our process fair and consistent as it scales
- Make the candidate experience match the product: fast, clear, no friction
- Establish fal as a destination for GTM talent in AI infrastructure
Qualifications
- Have 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record hiring GTM in high-growth technical companies (infra, developer tools, API/PLG businesses, or AI)
- Can hold a credible conversation about how a technical product is sold — enough to screen for it, not just keyword-match résumés
- Have built recruiting process and metrics from a thin starting point, not just operated inside a mature machine
- Are proficient with a modern stack (Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, AI-assisted sourcing tools) and are opinionated about where automation helps and where it doesn't
- Have hired across levels, from early-career SDRs to VP-level leaders
- Are an exceptional communicator who can push back on a hiring manager and keep the relationship
- Are comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and a bar that doesn't move
- Experience hiring solutions engineers, forward-deployed engineers, or developer advocates
- Exposure to partnerships or ecosystem roles (model labs, cloud providers, platform partners)
- You've been the first or second recruiter supporting a function
