Technical Recruiter

Job description

ABOUT ELEVENLABS ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology. We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses - from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always. We have expanded from voice into three main platforms: - ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale. - ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages. - ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models. Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you. HOW WE WORK - High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy. - Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you. - AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations. - Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models. - Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location. WHAT WE OFFER - Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. - Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities. - Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend. - Social travel: We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose. - Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy. - Co-working: If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to join our truly global Talent team at ElevenLabs. This is not a conventional recruiter role — you’ll own complex, high-impact technical hiring end to end, from shaping the search strategy through to closing truly exceptional talent. You’ll partner deeply with engineering, research, and leadership teams to re-imagine what great technical hiring looks like at scale. You’ll be a key member of a small, high-powered team that’s redefining quality of hire and pushing the boundaries of how world-class technical talent is found, engaged, and hired. This role sits at the intersection of deep technical specialization, high velocity, and an uncompromising bar. If you’re energized by ownership, creative problem-solving, and building hiring systems that scale — this role will stretch and level up your career. WHAT YOUR DAY MIGHT LOOK LIKE - Owning full-cycle recruiting for highly technical roles across product engineering, ML/AI, infrastructure, research, and beyond. - Partnering closely with hiring managers to deeply understand problems, calibrate on signals, and continuously raise the hiring bar. - Designing and executing thoughtful search strategies — from market mapping and outreach to interview design and closing. - Managing multiple complex searches simultaneously without sacrificing candidate experience or quality. - Acting as a trusted advisor to candidates, guiding them through a rigorous process with clarity, empathy, and conviction. - Serving as an ambassador for ElevenLabs — every interaction reflects our values and sets the tone for the candidate experience. - Continuously improving how we hire by iterating on processes, tooling, and data-driven insights. REQUIREMENTS - Proven experience hiring top-tier engineering and technical talent in competitive markets (we’d love to see ~3+ years, but impact matters more than years). - Experience running full-cycle technical recruiting, including sourcing strategy, stakeholder management, and closing. - Strong ability to manage high-complexity searches with many moving parts — you stay structured, adaptable, and focused. - Skilled at translating technical and business needs into clear hiring strategies and compelling candidate narratives. - Excellent written and verbal communication — you build trust with both deeply technical candidates and senior stakeholders. - Comfortable operating in fast-paced, remote-first environments and collaborating across global time zones. - Curious, creative, and genuinely interested in engineering, AI, and how exceptional teams are built. Bonus: - Experience hiring for research, infrastructure, systems, or other deeply technical roles. - Experience recruiting globally across multiple regions. - Background in high-growth startups or similarly fast-moving environments. - A builder’s mindset: you experiment, learn quickly, spot patterns, and continuously refine recruiting playbooks and processes. LOCATION This role is remote and can be executed globally. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in Bangalore, Dublin, London, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Warsaw. #LI-remote We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or other legally protected statuses.
