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

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

This role is for someone who:

-              Builds sourcing systems instead of running manual searches

-              Uses AI and automation to create disproportionate leverage

-              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.

This is not a traditional recruiter role.

This is a systems-builder and operator role.

·      Create outbound, multi-touch sourcing sequences that improve response rate and candidate quality

·      Run ongoing experiments on targeting, messaging, sequencing, and screening logic

·      Track and improve key funnel metrics (response rate, application completion, pass-through quality, time-to-hire)

2. Own End-to-End Hiring

·      Own hiring for B2B SaaS roles (Engineering, Data, GTM, Operations) from intake through offer

·      Translate founder needs into clear sourcing hypotheses and screening criteria

·      Ensure only high-signal, well-qualified candidates reach founders

·      Experience designing and iterating on AI-driven sourcing or screening experiments

·      Comfortable building automations using tools such as Zapier, Make, n8n

·      Familiarity working with APIs to automate, extend, or connect recruiting workflows

·      Obsessed with building efficient, repeatable systems

Benefits

·      100% remote — work from anywhere
