Principal Recruiter

About the Role

The Principal Recruiter will support Angel List’s expanding business and strategic hiring goals. The right person will be a creative and adaptable generalist, capable of earning trust and delivering successful hires for key roles across the company. Instead of focusing on a single domain (or even isolating in technical or GTM roles), the Principal Recruiter will operate function-agnostic, and should be comfortable learning about every part of the business, ramping on a broad range of roles, and partnering with all executive team members.

It will be a high-impact, high-exposure role, working closely with Angel List’s leadership.

At Angel List, our mission is to accelerate innovation by empowering startups and the people who build them. And on our team, that starts with recruiting high-agency and high-curiosity builders to accelerate problem solving and business growth.

You will:

• Partner with hiring teams to build and execute on strategies to bring the best people into key roles at Angel List
• Lead with data and market intelligence to help drive decisions
• Contribute broadly: this is a role for someone who prides themselves on functional agility and strong business partnership
• Represent and elevate the Angel List talent brand on the market, including how we’re a beacon and who we attract

You have:

• 8+ years of full lifecycle recruiting experience, including some startup experience
• Ability to thrive and drive consensus and clarity in ambiguous and a fast-moving environments
• An approach that leads with business outcomes over “activity”
• Curiosity to leverage AI tools to automate day-to-day workflows and improve the speed and quality of the hiring process
• Proven track record of success competing for elite talent in a competitive environment, and history of solid relationships in the industry
• Ability to drive process and influence x-functionally to advance the ball despite any obstacles
• Enthusiasm about growth, change, action, and refinement: the market moves quickly and so should you

If you don’t meet every requirement above, we still encourage you to apply. We value complementary strengths and operators who learn by doing.

Angel List has offices in a few cities, New York City and San Francisco. We have a hybrid in-office model: teammates come in at least 2 days per week (Tuesdays and either Wednesday or Thursday).

Compensation: The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $200,000+ annually but actual will vary based on a number of factors including a candidate’s professional background, experience, and location.

Benefits: We support your life both in and outside of work.
