Recruiting Lead

Recruiting Lead About Klarity Tldr on us: Series B, $91M raised, 7x growth last year. Digital Transformation gave rise to a $600B consulting Industry. AI Transformation will be 10x bigger and will be delivered through agents. We built that. Our AI discovers how work actually happens across every team and application, Structures it into a living Context Graph, and Improves it continuously. ServiceNow mapped 900+ processes in 9 days. DoorDash captured 3,800+ finance operations in 14 weeks. That's not a project. That's compounding intelligence. OpenAI, Google, DoorDash, and Stripe use Klarity to transform how they transform. We shipped GPT-4 document chat within 12 hours of OpenAI's API launch. We move fast, reward agency, and care deeply about our customers, our team, and our mission. Most recruiting roles are about running the machine. This one is about building it. You'll build the systems, the AI workflows, and the talent narrative for a company hiring the top 1% of AI talent — to ship products used by OpenAI, Stripe, Uber, and DoorDash. We're already on prompt v9 in our internal screening pipeline. We need someone who takes it to v50. ABOUT KLARITY Klarity (YC S18) partners with Fortune 500 companies like ServiceNow, JLL, and Moody's, and frontier AI companies like OpenAI, DoorDash, Uber, and Stripe to deliver real AI outcomes. Traditional transformation playbooks take years, burn millions, and leave teams exhausted. Klarity upgrades the script: continuous, compounding improvements that everyone participates in. We're not looking for someone to maintain an existing recruiting machine. We're looking for someone excited to build one. READ THIS BEFORE APPLYING We're building Klarity differently. The right founding recruiter genuinely shares this philosophy — they don't tolerate it. We hire exponential contributors, not headcount. A small team of exceptional people, augmented by AI, will outperform a large team of good people. Every hire should meaningfully increase our collective capability. If you're energized by building large teams and tracking req counts, this isn't the right role. We are AI-native in how we operate. We use AI throughout our hiring process and expect every person we hire to be AI-native in their work. You should already have gained 200–300% efficiency in your own workflow over the last two years — and have a real point of view on what creates leverage and what doesn't. Curiosity isn't enough; we want hands-on practice and outcomes. We do not build sprawling HR infrastructure. No programs for the sake of programs. No enterprise HR software stack. Every system you build should be lean, high-signal, and tied to outcomes. If you've spent your career building HR organizations at traditional companies, this role will frustrate you. We are high-intensity and mission-driven. Klarity isn't for people seeking work-life balance in the traditional sense. The people who thrive here are energized by hard problems and high standards — not drained by them. We are in-person. Five days a week, San Francisco. Our culture is built on proximity. This is a firm requirement. If this sounds like the environment you've been looking for, keep reading. If it sounds exhausting or misguided, we're not the right fit. THE ROLE This is a hands-on, founding role at the intersection of recruiting execution, systems design, and AI-enabled workflows. You'll own full-cycle recruiting for priority roles while defining how hiring operates as Klarity scales. Klarity's People organization is actively evolving — including an ongoing search for a VP of People — which means team structure, systems, and ownership are still taking shape. This role is best suited for someone who sees that as an opportunity, not a risk. You won't inherit a mature recruiting function. You'll build the structure, workflows, and operating rhythm that make hiring scalable and predictable over time. In the near term: identify and close exceptional ta ...
