That means you’ll be running full-cycle searches across the company and building the hiring system that Cents will use for years.\nYou’ll have the opportunity to build a hiring strategy into a real process: a clear definition of what great hiring looks like here, interview loops that predict performance, managers who know how to interview, and a candidate experience that makes people want to say yes. You'll design it, get leaders to adopt it, and then run it every day.\nYou'll report to the VP of People and partner directly with leaders across the company on their most important hires. Our leaders care deeply about who joins Cents and they're eager for a partner who can bring structure, insight, and momentum to how we hire. The recruiter who thrives here is the one who brings a point of view, grounds it in data, and takes the initiative to move things forward. You'll help shape how this company grows, and you'll see the impact of your work in every team you help build.\nKey Responsibilities\nBuild the hiring process from the ground up\nDefine what the Cents hiring process should look like, stage by stage, from intake to offer, and get leadership aligned on it.\n\nDesign structured interview loops for each role family: who interviews, what each stage assesses, and how we decide. Replace gut calls with scorecards and clear debriefs.\n\nSet up and own the tooling: the ATS, job templates, sourcing channels, scheduling, and the hiring metrics we track (time to fill, pass-through rates, source quality, offer acceptance).\n\nBuild the playbooks that make hiring repeatable: intake templates, interview guides, reference and offer processes, and a candidate experience we'd be proud to go through ourselves.\n\nCoach managers and guide every step\nRun kickoff and intake sessions with hiring managers that get to a real, agreed-upon profile before the search starts.\n\nTrain interviewers on how to run a structured interview, ask better questions, avoid bias, and write feedback that helps the team decide.\n\nStay in the room through the whole process: facilitating pre-briefs & debriefs, push for decisions, and coach through tough calls like a split panel or a competing offer.\n\nDrive relationships forward and influence outcomes\nBuild trusted partnerships with our executives and hiring managers.\n\nBring a point of view. Push back on unrealistic profiles, unclear ownership, or slow feedback, and back it with market data and pipeline evidence.\n\nOwn candidate experience from first touch to first day. Keep momentum in every search and never let a great candidate go quiet.\n\nPartner with the VP of People & CFO on workforce planning, comp benchmarking, and how hiring connects to onboarding and performance.\n\nRun full-cycle searches\nCarry roles across engineering, product, sales, customer success, and G&A, including senior and leadership searches.\n\nSource proactively & build pipelines through outbound, referrals, and community.\n\nScreen, schedule, close. Run compensation conversations, offers, and negotiate with confidence.\n\nTell the Cents story in a way that lands. We're modernizing an industry most people overlook, and the right candidates find that exciting once they understand it.\n\nWork smarter with AI and automation\nBuild AI-powered recruiting workflows that automate the repeatable parts of the job, such as sourcing lists, first-touch outreach, scheduling, and interview note synthesis, so your time goes to candidates and hiring managers.\n\nPick the tools, set them up, and teach the team how to use them well. You'll own the recruiting stack end to end.\n\nUse the time you win back to raise the bar on the parts that can't be automated: judgment, relationships, and closing.\n\nRequirements\n6+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with experience in-house at a high-growth startup (Series A through C is the sweet spot). You've hired across functions, not just one.\n\nYou've built before. You've stood up or rebuilt a hiring process, interview framework, or ATS from scratch, and you can tell us what you'd do differently now.\n\nReal influence with senior leaders. You have examples of changing an executive's mind about a profile, a process, or a candidate, and you did it with evidence and relationships rather than escalation.\n\nStrong sourcing chops. You can build a pipeline for a hard role without waiting for inbound.\n\nComfort with data. You know your funnel numbers, you use them to diagnose problems, and you can explain them to a CFO.\n\nOwnership. You run toward ambiguity, you follow through, and you'd rather ship a good process this month than a perfect one next quarter.\n\nClear, warm communication with candidates and colleagues alike. People should feel better about Cents after every conversation with you.\n\nNice to Haves\nExperience recruiting for vertical SaaS, SMB-focused software, or sales-heavy orgs.\n\nHands-on experience with Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever, and with LinkedIn Recruiter.\n\nExposure to People operations beyond recruiting, such as onboarding, comp, or performance.\n\nWhy this Role?\nYou'll build, not inherit. Most senior recruiters join a machine someone else designed. Here you get a blank page and a leadership team that wants you to fill it.\nYou'll work at the right size. At 100 people, you can know every hiring manager personally and see the impact of a single great hire on the whole company.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5452,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["POS Systems","ERP & Business Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T19:58:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":39,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.714,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":44,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":140000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cents-sr-recruiter","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cents-sr-recruiter.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T01:05:32Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1696,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":674715},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=674715"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcents-sr-recruiter"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcents-sr-recruiter"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcents-sr-recruiter"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cents-sr-recruiter\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcents-sr-recruiter"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1011059}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"trycents.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1011059},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
