Job Description

AI - First Talent Recruiter job at Single Grain LLC. Cambridge, MA. *Put I recruit with AI as the first line of your cover letter or email subject. Applications without this line won't be reviewed.*

We're looking for a values-obsessed, AI-forward Talent Recruiter to aggressively source and screen candidates who embody Single Grain's core values: relentless learning, bias to action, bold long-term bets, and unreasonable resilience. You will own the initial values screening across all open roles, drive a daily outbound cadence, and maintain our hiring funnel to fill every seat (with two backups) within 45 days. We seek candidates with a passion for AI and a focus on measurable results.

This role is ideal for someone who lives and breathes AI, communicates in hard numbers, and makes fast, high-conviction decisions without waiting for approval.

Who We Are

Single Grain is an award-winning growth marketing agency trusted by Amazon, Uber, Salesforce, and others. Our blog attracts over 200k visitors monthly, our podcasts exceed 140 million downloads, and over 140k marketers follow us on YouTube. We move fast, expect a lot, and utilize AI across paid media, creative, strategy, recruiting, and operations. If you're self-directed, bluntly honest, and relentless about your craft, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

1. Conduct decisive 15 to 30-minute Zoom screens; advance only 'hell yes' candidates, reject the rest.
2. Make 10-20 personalized outbound touches per open role daily via LinkedIn, email, and niche communities (40-50 when 3-5 roles are active), using various tools.
3. Screen inbound applicants within 48 hours; aim to get to first meeting with outbound candidates within 5 days of initial outreach.
4. Maintain and iterate a values-based rubric; design AI-powered work sample prompts.
5. Log all activity in Gusto ATS; provide daily funnel snapshots initially, then weekly dashboards.
6. Propose or pilot AI recruiting tools as justified by ROI.
7. Partner with hiring managers for calibration; escalate only edge cases.
8. Keep non-executive roles closed within 45 days; senior/executive roles within 60 days.

Primary KPIs

• Hit Rate: 75% by month 3; 90% by month 12.
• Outbound Cadence: 10-20 touches per role per day.
• Inbound SLA: 48 hours. Outbound SLA: 5 days.
• Time-to-Fill: 45 days (non-exec); 60 days (exec).

Requirements

• 3+ years of sourcing or full-cycle recruiting in fast-growth SaaS or agency environments.
• Experience with AI recruiting operations beyond ChatGPT (e.g., automated list building, GPT-driven personalization, candidate ranking algorithms, workflows).
• Proven ability to fill multiple roles simultaneously, speak in hard numbers.
• Relentless learner: continuous upskilling with evidence (courses, side projects, communities).
• Data fluency: funnel analytics; basic Sheets/SQL is a plus.
• Clear, candid communicator; thrives on blunt feedback.
• Near-shore availability (U.S., Canada, LATAM) with dependable U.S. business hours overlap.

Bad Fit

• AI = copy-pasting ChatGPT prompts.
• No quantified wins; only percentages or fluff.
• Needs direction to act; waits for tasks.
• Slow responses or ghosting stakeholders.

Benefits

• Salary: DOE
• Medical, dental, vision (U.S.) or stipend (non-U.S.).
• Flexible PTO.
• Home-office stipend & MacBook.
• Remote-first, high-autonomy culture that rewards shipping and fast learning.
