We're an experienced team that previously founded Even, acquired for $300M in 2022. Tolan is backed by the designers and founders behind Instagram, Retro, Behance, Vimeo, and Notion.

The Role

We’re hiring a Lead Technical Recruiter to partner with our engineering & product teams, as well as our founders, to source, sell, and close the best engineers and designers in the world. This will be a low-volume, high-craft effort that drives tremendous impact for our organization. The right person for this role cares deeply about the art & science of recruiting and works well in ambiguous, fast-paced startup environments.

What You'll Do

• Source and hire top-tier engineering and design talent.

• Leverage AI as a force multiplier (you will have an unlimited token budget).

• Build recruiting ops infrastructure, tooling, and programming in partnership with executives.

• Procure and manage third party resources (agencies, embedded firms) to supplement your efforts.

Who We're Looking For

• Relevant experience. You have 2+ years of experience hiring technical roles at growth stage startups.

• High-stakes operator. The hires you’ve made accelerated the trajectories of companies and created real enterprise value.

• Elite stakeholder management. You’ve supported best-in-class founders, executives, and other hiring managers.

• AI-curious. You have experience (or a deep interest in) using the latest AI tools to execute recruiting work at scale.

• Thrives in ambiguity. You have the “just figure it out” quality that is essential for any recruiter in startups.
