Forager.ai is hiring a Talent Acquisition Lead who approaches recruiting like a growth engine, not a process function.
This role is for someone who:
- Builds sourcing systems instead of running manual searches
- Uses AI and automation to create disproportionate leverage
- Thinks in funnels, experiments, and iteration
- Measures success in response rates, pass-through quality, and time-to-hire
- Reduces founder involvement by delivering consistently high-signal candidates
You’ll own talent acquisition end-to-end for a growing B2B SaaS company and work directly with founders to turn hiring into a scalable, repeatable, data-driven system.
This is not a traditional recruiter role.
This is a systems-builder and operator role.
What You’ll Do
1. Build an AI-First Recruiting Engine
· Design and build from scratch AI-driven sourcing systems using tools such as Juicebox / PeopleGPT, Pin, and other modern sourcing platforms
· Architect automated recruiting workflows using Zapier, Make, n8n, APIs, and custom integrations
· Create outbound, multi-touch sourcing sequences that improve response rate and candidate quality
· Run ongoing experiments on targeting, messaging, sequencing, and screening logic
· Track and improve key funnel metrics (response rate, application completion, pass-through quality, time-to-hire)
2. Own End-to-End Hiring
· Own hiring for B2B SaaS roles (Engineering, Data, GTM, Operations) from intake through offer
· Translate founder needs into clear sourcing hypotheses and screening criteria
· Ensure only high-signal, well-qualified candidates reach founders
· Continuously refine screening frameworks based on hiring outcomes
· Build lightweight scorecards and structured evaluation systems
3. Provide Market Intelligence
Advise founders on:
· Talent availability and competitiveness
· Compensation benchmarks
· Realistic timelines and hiring tradeoffs
· Adjustments to role scope based on market data
Requirements
Experience
· 3+ years of hands-on recruiting experience
· Demonstrated ownership of sourcing strategy and hiring outcomes
· Experience hiring for B2B SaaS companies (Engineering and/or GTM strongly preferred)

· Experience designing and iterating on AI-driven sourcing or screening experiments
· Comfortable building automations using tools such as Zapier, Make, n8n
· Familiarity working with APIs to automate, extend, or connect recruiting workflows
· Clear understanding of how automation reduces manual recruiting work and increases funnel efficiency
Mindset
· Thinks like a growth hacker, not a traditional recruiter
· Systems-oriented and highly data-driven
· Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fully remote environment
· Proactively challenges unclear requirements or unrealistic timelines
· Obsessed with building efficient, repeatable systems
Benefits
