Principal Technical Recruiter
Job description
About the role
The Mission
You will immediately engage in closing elite technical roles and establishing profound client relationships. This position transcends conventional recruiting duties. While you deliver concrete hiring results, you will concurrently learn to embed AI throughout the recruiting process and assist clients in doing the same during our platform rollout.
Your focus targets Fortune 500 corporations and venture capital-funded startups. Your specialization will be GenAI, Machine Learning, Data Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, and Product talent.
You are entering a pre-launch phase with Moon Engine, an agent-orchestrated recruiting operations system. Within this environment, autonomous agents function as decision partners. They coordinate hiring activities with built-in governance and auditability features.
Your role is that of a player-coach in the purest form. You will perform hands-on recruiting today and evolve into an AI-enabled recruiting advisor tomorrow. Collaboration with our engineering and product teams is central. You will test Moon Engine, offer critical feedback, and master the future of recruiting. Subsequently, you will introduce these systems to Fortune 500 companies and leading startups as we onboard them to the platform.
Consider this a dual-track development path. You will deepen your core recruiting skills while simultaneously becoming an expert in AI-orchestrated hiring workflows.
What Makes This Different
You are not forced to choose between recruiting expertise and AI proficiency. You will achieve mastery in both domains.
You will lead complex searches for senior technical personnel. This involves building relationships, managing clients, and closing candidates. This work represents genuine, high-stakes recruiting.
You will learn AI integration at a deep level. While recruiting, you will progressively utilize Moon Engine's capabilities. This includes AI-assisted sourcing and automated screening. You will achieve fluency in how AI enhances, rather than replaces, recruiter judgment.
You will function as a product development partner. You will work directly with engineering and product teams. Your real-world recruiting experiences will translate into product requirements. Your feedback will directly influence what gets built.
You will serve as the customer onboarding expert. When Moon Engine launches, you will assist enterprise clients in transitioning to AI-enabled hiring. You will teach them the insights you have gained. This makes you indispensable to both Hop and our clients.
You will manage active searches where recruiter judgment directs AI tools. You will not follow fixed scripts; you will ensure the recruiter's role is primary.
You will test Moon Engine features rigorously. You will provide structured feedback that shapes future recruiting modules.
