Tech Recruiter

About The Role

Cloaked is a privacy startup dedicated to rebuilding consumer trust in how personal data is used. Our vision is to create an internet that serves the needs of its users, first and foremost—with individual privacy and opt‑in at the core. Our product is a virtual "cloak" that you use as you visit any website — Facebook, Amazon, etc. It lets you choose to share all, some, or none of your private information based on your personal preference.

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact recruiting role focused on building exceptional technical teams during a critical phase of growth. You will act as the primary hiring partner to leadership, owning searches from kickoff through close and helping shape how we attract and hire top talent.

You’ll split your time between deep execution—sourcing, screening, and closing candidates—and strategic partnership with hiring managers to design effective, scalable hiring processes. This role requires both strong recruiting fundamentals and the ability to influence stakeholders in a fast‑moving environment.
