Who You Are

  • 2–4 years of recruiting experience sourcing and screening technical talent — software engineers, AI/ML engineers, or adjacent roles. Agency, embedded, or in-house all work.
  • Active AI tool user — sourcing agents, automated outreach sequences, AI-assisted screening. Already using these, not learning about them.
  • Credibly fluent on the AI engineering side — can hold a conversation about LLMs, agents, RAG, or evals, and tell the difference between someone who's shipped with this stack and someone who's adjacent to it.
  • Strong written communicator — outreach gets opened and replied to because it sounds like a real person who did the research, not a template.
  • Organized and proactive with admin — keeps the ATS clean, moves candidates through stages without being chased, keeps hiring managers informed.
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, low-structure environment — things change quickly here and you don't need a lot of hand-holding.

What You'll Do

  • Source proactively for AI and engineering roles across Lazer's Core practice — building targeted lists, writing thoughtful personalized outreach, and running focused sourcing sprints.
  • Manage candidate communications end-to-end: scheduling, coordinating interview loops, keeping candidates warm and informed at every stage.
  • Maintain clean, accurate records in Ashby — stage updates, notes, sourcing tags — so the team always has a clear picture of the pipeline.
  • Screen inbound and sourced candidates at the top of the funnel and pass well-qualified profiles to the Senior Technical Recruiter and hiring managers with clear context.
  • Use AI to do more — build or use sourcing agents, automate repetitive outreach tasks, and keep raising the bar on what you can output independently.
  • Support offer logistics — reference checks, scheduling debrief calls, tracking offer status — so nothing falls through the cracks at the close.
  • Learn the market — develop fluency in AI engineering comp, what candidates care about, and what we're competing against, and surface that intel to the team.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Prior experience recruiting specifically for AI/ML engineering roles
  • Familiarity with Ashby or comparable ATS
  • Existing network in AI engineering or tech talent communities in US or Canada
  • Experience building or using sourcing automation tools (Clay, Apollo, etc.)

AI in our hiring process
