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
Advise founders on:
- Talent availability and competitiveness
· Compensation benchmarks
- Realistic timelines and hiring tradeoffs
- Adjustments to role scope based on market data
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
Benefits
· 100% remote — work from anywhere
- Real ownership — build and evolve a recruiting engine, not just execute tasks
- Direct access to founders — fast decisions, minimal bureaucracy
- Dedicated tooling budget — experiment with the tools that help you move faster
- Competitive compensation based on experience and impact
- Opportunity to build a category-defining, AI-native talent acquisition function
