# Talent Acquisition Lead (AI-First, Systems Builder)

> Forager · United States (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-02-24

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

We’re hiring a Talent Acquisition Lead who approaches recruiting like a systems and growth problem — not a process problem.

This role is for someone who:

-   Builds sourcing systems instead of running manual searches
-   Uses AI and automation to create leverage
-   Thinks in funnels, experiments, and iteration
-   Reduces founder involvement by delivering consistently high-quality candidates

You’ll own talent acquisition end-to-end for a growing B2B SaaS company and work closely with founders to turn hiring into a scalable, repeatable system.

This is not a traditional recruiter role.

**This role is best suited for someone who enjoys personally building recruiting workflows and sourcing systems — not managing a recruiting team.**

### What You’ll Do

### Own AI-First Sourcing & Automation

-   Use modern AI sourcing tools (e.g., Juicebox / PeopleGPT, Pin) to identify and engage candidates
-   Build and maintain automated recruiting workflows using tools like Zapier, Make, n8n, Airtable, and APIs
-   Continuously experiment with outreach, targeting, and sequencing to improve response rates and candidate quality
-   Reduce manual work by building systems that scale

### Run End-to-End Talent Acquisition

-   Own hiring for B2B SaaS roles from intake through offer
-   Translate founder needs into clear sourcing and screening criteria
-   Ensure only high-signal candidates reach founders
-   Continuously refine the funnel based on hiring outcomes

### Advise on the Market

Provide founders with insight on:

-   Talent availability
-   Compensation expectations
-   Realistic timelines

Push back on unclear requirements or unrealistic expectations and adjust sourcing strategies as priorities evolve.

## Requirements

### Experience

·      3+ years of hands-on recruiting experience

·      Demonstrated ownership of sourcing strategy and hiring outcomes

·      Experience hiring for B2B SaaS companies (Engineering and/or GTM strongly preferred)

·      Experience building or significantly improving recruiting systems (not just filling roles)

### Core Technical Requirements

·      Hands-on experience with AI sourcing or recruiting tools (e.g., Juicebox / PeopleGPT, Pin, SeekOut, etc.)

·      Experience designing and iterating on AI-driven sourcing or screening experiments

·      Comfortable building automations using tools such as Zapier, Make, n8n

·      Familiarity working with APIs to automate, extend, or connect recruiting workflows

·      Clear understanding of how automation reduces manual recruiting work and increases funnel efficiency

### Mindset

·      Thinks like a growth hacker, not a traditional recruiter

·      Systems-oriented and highly data-driven

·      Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fully remote environment

·      Proactively challenges unclear requirements or unrealistic timelines

·      Obsessed with building efficient, repeatable systems

### Nice to Have

-   Experience building recruiting systems or infrastructure from scratch
-   Background in recruiting operations, talent systems, or technical sourcing
-   Experience using tools like Airtable, Clay, or custom workflows
-   Experience working in early-stage or lean startup environments
-   Fractional or embedded startup recruiting experience

## Benefits

-   100% remote — work from anywhere
-   Real ownership — build and evolve recruiting systems from the ground up
-   Direct access to founders — fast decisions, minimal bureaucracy
-   Tooling budget — use the tools that help you move faster
-   Competitive compensation based on experience and impact  
    

**This role may start in a fractional capacity (10–20 hours/week)** while key hires and systems are being built, with the potential to grow into a full-time role.
