Talent Acquisition Lead (AI-First, Growth-Oriented)

About this role

Forager.ai is hiring a Talent Acquisition Lead who approaches recruiting like a growth engine, not a process function.

-              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.
