- Hands-on experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar to evaluate outputs, identify errors, and understand limitations.
- Experience closing placements and personally managing final-stage candidate conversations, including offer negotiation and objection handling.
- Experience using recruiting data, such as KPIs, dashboards, A/B tests, or conversion analysis, to guide decisions.
- Experience labeling outputs or providing feedback to improve AI, machine learning, or agent performance.
- Comfort collaborating cross-functionally in a startup environment and creating operational documentation.
- Familiarity with one or more of TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, or Supabase is helpful.
