    About us
    Harmonic is the startup discovery engine.
    It pains us to see great startup opportunities consistently go undiscovered. So, we dedicated ourselves to mapping out the startup landscape and building the tools that ensure the most promising founders get found and funded.
    The world's largest and most prolific venture capital firms (as well as the up-and-comers you haven't heard of yet) rely on us to find and invest in the next Google, AirBnB, Uber, Stripe, and Anduril. We play a crucial part in ensuring hundreds of billions of dollars get routed efficiently and that the innovations the world would most benefit from materialize.
    We're growing revenue at a rate of 100%+ annually and already power thousands of investors' workflow. Backed by $30M from investors like Craft, Floodgate, and Sozo Ventures, we want to power the entire investment workflow from discovery to term sheet. If you resonate with our values and want to fundamentally evolve how venture capital markets work, come join us.
    About the role
    As Harmonic's Founding Recruiter (and first talent hire), you will play a critical role in building and scaling our talent function. The first priority will be supporting our Engineering Product, and Design teams, but, depending on bandwidth, you may also help support GTM roles. You will own sourcing strategies, candidate experience, and process design for our open roles, while also building the recruiting infrastructure that will attract exceptional talent to Harmonic for years to come.
    Key Responsibilities:
    • End-to-End Technical Recruiting: Lead the hiring process for roles across PED and GTM. This includes:
      • Sourcing: Identify and engage top active and passive talent using platforms like Harmonic and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Leverage Gem, LinkedIn and other platforms to execute creative, targeted outreach, track conversion rates, and refine strategies.
      • Screening: Screen resumes and conduct initial screenings to assess candidate qualifications, experience, and cultural fit, efficiently narrowing down the applicant pool for hiring managers.
      • Candidate Management: Ensure an exceptional and engaging experience for candidates at every stage of the hiring process. Coordinate scheduling and candidate communications.
      • Data-Driven Decision-Making & Process Optimization: Continuously refine and enhance our recruitment processes, leveraging data-driven insights to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Utilize ATS systems like Greenhouse to track candidates and optimize pipeline efficiency.
    • Partner with executives and hiring managers to deeply understand current and future hiring needs
    • Build and maintain nurturing campaigns and recruitment marketing efforts to position Harmonic as an employer of choice for top technical talent
    Role Requirements:
    • 3+ years of experience in technical recruiting, with a proven track record of hiring for senior-level SWE roles in niche and competitive technical talent markets. 2+ years of in-house recruiting experience at a high-growth, startup preferred
    • Enjoys sourcing for EPD positions and takes pride in nurturing and building relationships with passive and active talent
    • Thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments; comfortable moving fast, managing multiple roles, and being accountable for your work
    • Data-focused. You measure pipeline health to balance your priorities and set hiring manager expectations
    • Experience with applicant tracking systems (we use Greenhouse) and sourcing tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Gem
    • High agency mindset - have a bias for action; take ownership of projects, navigate and resolve challenges, and drive tasks to completion with minimal guidance
    • Based in NYC with the ability to come in to our our office in Nomad (36 West 25th Street) 3 days per week
    Pay:
    Pay Range: $140,000 - $210,000 USD + Equity (flexible depending on level)
    All vary based on experience
    We are an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to recruiting, hiring and promoting qualified people of all backgrounds regardless of gender, race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age, marital status, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by federal, state, or local law.
    Benefits
    • Top of the line health, dental and vision insurance, with 100% premium covered
    • 401k matching
    • Free lunch in office
    • Monthly team dinner (we have a lot of foodies) for each office
