As the Founding Recruiter, you will build the infrastructure for hiring at Numeral, defining talent standards, and leading innovative sourcing strategies at a rapid growth stage.
Numeral is transforming how taxes get done. Digital businesses are currently bogged down by a painful web of regulations across 47 states and 50+ countries. We’re eliminating this burden so teams can focus on their core mission.
We’re the largest and fastest growing AI-native tax solution. Started in 2023, Numeral has raised over $57M from Benchmark, Mayfield, Y-Combinator, and many others. We now serve over 2,500 paying customers and have more than tripled our revenue every year in our history.
We’re primarily hiring in our SF and NY offices, but do hire remotely in some cases
We are at a critical inflection point. Numeral is scaling from 80 to 300 employees over the next few years. To do that without breaking our culture or lowering our bar, we need more than just a recruiter who fills seats—we need an architect.
As our Founding Recruiter, you won’t just be closing candidates; you will build the operating system for how Numeral hires. You will partner directly with our Founders and C-suite to define what "great" looks like, implement the infrastructure (Ashby, scorecards, training) to get us there, and personally headhunt the leadership and engineering talent that will define our future.
Build the "Talent Machine": Design and implement structured interview loops, scorecarding, and interviewer training to ensure every hire raises the average.
Hunt, Don’t Just Gather: Lead outbound sourcing strategies to extract top-tier talent from other high-growth tech companies.
Own the Stack: You are the admin and architect of our hiring funnel (Ashby, sourcing tools, etc).
Protect the Experience: Ensure that every candidate leaves the process respecting Numeral.
4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience across engineering and business roles
