Head of Talent

The Role

We're looking for a Founding Recruiter to own hiring across the company. You'll be the person who builds recruiting at Paraform from scratch — the processes, the pipelines, the employer brand, and the bar. You'll report directly to CEO and partner closely with every hiring manager on the team.

This isn't a coordination role. We're looking for someone who can source, close, and build simultaneously — someone who has strong opinions about what great hiring looks like and the discipline to execute against it.

What You'll Do

- Own the full recruiting lifecycle for roles across Engineering, GTM, and Operations

- Source and engage passive candidates through LinkedIn, outbound, referrals, and creative channels — not just inbound

- Build and maintain strong pipelines for current and future headcount needs

- Partner with founders and hiring managers to define role scope, ideal candidate profiles, and interview processes

- Design and iterate on our interview loops, scorecards, and evaluation frameworks

- Lead offer conversations and close candidates with genuine conviction

- Track and report on recruiting metrics; identify and fix bottlenecks in the funnel

- Lay the groundwork for a recruiting function that will grow significantly this year
