Job Description

Arbor turns frontline conversations into executive-grade strategic intelligence. Our AI researcher transforms how enterprises unlock insights from their most valuable asset: internal knowledge.

We're relentlessly focused on solving real problems, and we're determined to become the definitive platform for enterprise operational intelligence. Our team is scrappy, brilliant, and obsessed with building a generational product that matters.

Why join Arbor?

• Build the recruiting function from scratch at a fast-growing AI startup
• Work directly with founders & CTO to shape our talent strategy and company culture
• Be the founding talent hire - high impact, high ownership role
• Join a team backed by top-tier investors with ambitious growth plans

What you'll do:

• Source, screen, and close top-tier engineering and product talent for our AI platform
• Implement and manage our ATS, optimize recruiting workflows, and build scalable hiring processes
• Represent Arbor to candidates - you're often their first impression of our company
• Conduct initial screens, coordinate technical interviews, and manage candidate experience end-to-end
• Build talent pipelines for key roles, especially senior engineering positions
• Handle basic HR operations: onboarding new hires (including IT management), payroll coordination, and employee documentation

What we're looking for:

• 4+ years recruiting for early-stage startups, ideally in AI/ML or B2B SaaS
• Proven track record sourcing senior engineers (fullstack, AI/ML, backend) and product roles
• Experience with modern recruiting tools and ATS platforms
• Strong communicator who can sell our vision to skeptical senior candidates
• Data-driven approach to optimizing recruiting funnels and processes
• Experience with basic HR operations and payroll systems a plus

Our approach:

• We started Arbor with a deep belief that better workplaces come through listening empathetically, relying on data, and committing to intellectual humility. We practice that philosophy internally as well.
