About the role

Original posting from Kalshi via Ashby

WHAT IS KALSHI?

Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.

We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.

  • Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
  • Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.

Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

ROLE ROADMAP

As a Recruiter at Kalshi, you'll own full-cycle recruiting across the entire company - from engineering and product to compliance, operations, and go-to-market. You'll partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to define what great looks like for a role, go find it, and close it. There's almost no red tape here: no drawn-out approval chains, no bureaucracy standing between you and a great candidate. It’s the right role for you if you’re incredibly self-directed, you move fast, take ownership over your pipelines, and can attract → close the best talent in the world.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for a mix of technical and non-technical roles, from intake through offer and close
  • Partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to build role scorecards, sharpen hiring criteria, and design efficient interview processes
  • Proactively source and engage passive candidates across channels, building strong outbound pipelines rather than waiting on inbound
  • Manage a high-volume, fast-moving pipeline while maintaining a high bar and a great candidate experience
  • Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers on market data, leveling, and competitive offers
  • Represent Kalshi's mission and culture compellingly to candidates at every stage

WHAT YOU BRING

  • 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally spanning both technical and non-technical hiring
  • Proven ability to build strong outbound pipelines and close passive candidates, not just manage inbound flow
  • Comfort operating across very different hiring profiles - from engineers to operators to compliance and gtm hires - without losing quality or speed
  • Strong judgment and the ability to move fast and make decisions autonomously in a low-process environment
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, especially with senior hiring managers
  • Genuine excitement about working somewhere fast-moving with minimal bureaucracy and high ownership
  • Bachelor's degree preferred, not required
