Talent Acquisition Lead

Outtake exists to empower and facilitate trust for a digital-first world. Today, impersonation, fraud, AI-driven scams, and identity abuse spread faster than any security team can respond to. So we built something different: an agentic AI platform that proactively detects, monitors and takes down impersonators and automates protection in hours, not weeks.

Built by ex-Palantir, ex-CTO/founders, and ex-Notion engineers, Outtake is designed for clarity, autonomy, and velocity. Our goal is ambitious: become the trust layer of the modern internet. And we intend to do it with a lean, dense, exceptionally talented team.

About You:
The Role

Outtake is looking for its first Talent Acquisition Lead, a builder who will design, own, and execute our hiring strategy end-to-end. We're seeking someone who's scaled a high-growth tech company from the early-stage through pre-ipo, and knows what it takes to attract, assess, and close exceptional talent across technical and business functions.

This person will play a central role in defining how Outtake grows, architecting a recruiting engine that's data-driven, automated, and built to scale. The ideal candidate has a technical recruiting background, fluency in modern recruiting tech stacks (ATS, sourcing tools, AI assistants), and the creativity to turn our ambitious headcount goals into a repeatable, high-velocity process.

The right person thrives in ambiguity, loves systems thinking, and is eager to build a next-generation recruiting machine from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Own and drive Outtake's full-cycle recruiting strategy across technical and business roles.
• Partner with leadership to define headcount plans, hiring priorities, and measurable goals that align with company growth targets.
• Architect a scalable, mostly automated recruiting system leveraging AI, ATS, and sourcing tools.
• Identify and eliminate manual processes, from sourcing to scheduling, through workflow automation.
• Build and maintain dashboards that track funnel metrics, conversion rates, and time-to-fill across roles.
• Lead searches for key technical and leadership positions while supporting hiring across all functions.
• Partner closely with hiring managers to define role scopes, evaluation rubrics, and interview processes.
• Help shape Outtake's employer brand through content, campaigns, and community engagement.
• Deliver a world-class candidate experience that reflects Outtake's mission, values, and pace.

What We're Looking For

• 5-8 years of recruiting experience, with a strong focus on technical or GTM roles.
• Proven success scaling a high-growth startup from Series A to Series C (or equivalent trajectory).
• Deep familiarity with recruiting software, ATS platforms, sourcing automation, and AI-enabled tools.
• A systems thinker who loves to design repeatable, automated processes that eliminate manual work.
• Analytical mindset - able to use data to forecast hiring needs and optimize performance.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills across all levels of the org.
• A builder's mentality: scrappy, fast-moving, and comfortable in ambiguity.
• Passion for startups, technology, and the art of connecting great people with meaningful work.
