Talent Acquisition Lead (AI-First, Growth-Oriented)

Forager.ai is hiring a Talent Acquisition Lead who approaches recruiting like a growth engine, not a process function.

This role is for someone who:

- Builds sourcing systems instead of running manual searches

- Uses AI and automation to create disproportionate leverage

- Thinks in funnels, experiments, and iteration

- Measures success in response rates, pass-through quality, and time-to-hire

- Reduces founder involvement by delivering consistently high-signal candidates

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

This is not a traditional recruiter role.

This is a systems-builder and operator role.

What You’ll Do

1. Build an AI-First Recruiting Engine

· Design and build from scratch AI-driven sourcing systems using tools such as Juicebox / PeopleGPT, Pin, and other modern sourcing platforms

· Architect automated recruiting workflows using Zapier, Make, n8n, APIs, and custom integrations

· Create outbound, multi-touch sourcing sequences that improve response rate and candidate quality

· Run ongoing experiments on targeting, messaging, sequencing, and screening logic

· Track and improve key funnel metrics (response rate, application completion, pass-through quality, time-to-hire)

2. Own End-to-End Hiring

· Own hiring for B2B SaaS roles (Engineering, Data, GTM, Operations) from intake through offer

· Translate founder needs into clear sourcing hypotheses and screening criteria

· Ensure only high-signal, well-qualified candidates reach founders

· Continuously refine screening frameworks based on hiring outcomes

· Build lightweight scorecards and structured evaluation systems

3. Provide Market Intelligence

Requirements

Experience

· 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

Benefits
