Arbor is redefining how enterprises extract insights from unstructured data using AI.
Why join Arbor?
- Build the recruiting function from scratch at a fast-growing AI startup
- Work directly with founders & CTO to shape our talent strategy and company culture
- Be the founding talent hire - high impact, high ownership role
- Join a team backed by top-tier investors with ambitious growth plans
What you'll do:
- Source, screen, and close top-tier engineering and product talent for our AI platform
- Implement and manage our ATS, optimize recruiting workflows, and build scalable hiring processes
- Represent Arbor to candidates - you're often their first impression of our company
- Conduct initial screens, coordinate technical interviews, and manage candidate experience end-to-end
- Build talent pipelines for key roles, especially senior engineering positions
- Handle basic HR operations: onboarding new hires (including IT management), payroll coordination, and employee documentation
What we're looking for:
- 4+ years recruiting for early-stage startups, ideally in AI/ML or B2B SaaS
- Proven track record sourcing senior engineers (fullstack, AI/ML, backend) and product roles
- Experience with modern recruiting tools and ATS platforms
- Strong communicator who can sell our vision to skeptical senior candidates
- Data-driven approach to optimizing recruiting funnels and processes
- Experience with basic HR operations and payroll systems a plus
Our approach:
- We started Arbor with a deep belief that better workplaces come through listening empathetically, relying on data, and committing to intellectual humility. We practice that philosophy internally as well.
