Head of Talent Acquisition

Job description

We’re looking for a **Head of Talent Acquisition** to own hiring and core people operations at Human Archive. This is not a role for someone who wants to build slow recruiting systems. We need someone who can **move extremely fast, operate under pressure, and hire at massive scale** across a wide range of roles. You might be asked to hire **10 people in the next two weeks**, then immediately build the pipeline for the next 50. We don't have anyone on the HR/People team right now so you will have to own the stack end-to-end 2+ YOE ### What you’ll own - End-to-end hiring across **field operations, field sales, managers, data annotators, and other high-volume operational roles** - Building sourcing pipelines capable of producing hundreds of qualified candidates - Screening, interviewing, coordinating, closing, and getting candidates to join quickly - Working directly with founders to understand rapidly changing headcount needs - Designing recruiting processes that optimize for **speed without compromising quality** - Managing job boards, agencies, referrals, campus pipelines, and other sourcing channels - Owning candidate tracking, recruiting metrics, and hiring forecasts - Managing **offer rollout, documentation, onboarding, and employee joining** - Coordinating **payroll** and ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time - Owning day-to-day people operations including **leave policies, attendance, employee records, and basic HR administration** - Building the systems and eventually the team required to support hiring at significantly larger scale ### What we’re looking for - You are **exceptionally fast and execution-oriented** - You are comfortable with aggressive hiring targets and short timelines - You have experience with **high-volume recruiting**, ideally for operations, sales, support, annotation, logistics, or similar workforces - You can simultaneously recruit for frontline roles and more senior managerial positions - You are highly organized and can keep track of dozens of candidates and employees without things falling through the cracks - You don’t wait for perfect processes—you build what is needed and improve it while operating - You are comfortable owning recruiting as well as the operational work that happens after someone accepts an offer - You care about numbers: pipeline size, conversion rates, time-to-hire, joining rates, attrition, and hiring velocity ### What success looks like When we say we need **10 people within two weeks**, your response is figuring out how to make it happen. You build a recruiting engine that allows Human Archive to scale its workforce rapidly while making sure the people who join are onboarded, paid, and supported properly. This is a **high-ownership, high-intensity role** for someone who wants to build the talent function from the ground up.
