Recruiter / Talent Acquisition Junior / Senior / Lead

Catalyst Labs is a specialized talent agency focused on Recruitment, People Operations, and Talent Acquisition. We embed ourselves directly into our clients’ hiring infrastructure as an extension of their internal talent teams and leadership, not as an external vendor.

We work closely with Founders, CHROs, Heads of People, and Talent Acquisition Leads across Tier 1 VC‑backed startups, scaling technology companies, investment entities, and enterprise organizations. Our clients build high‑performance teams across engineering, product, finance, GTM, and operations, relying on disciplined, data‑driven recruiters who understand speed, quality, and stakeholder alignment.

• Proven experience managing full‑cycle recruitment sourcing, screening, stakeholder alignment, interviewing, and closing candidates.
• Background in a reputable internal talent team, a Tier 1 agency, a venture‑backed startup, or a high‑caliber corporate HR environment.
• Strong understanding of modern recruiting fundamentals, including structured interviewing, scorecards, competency‑based assessments, and hiring manager alignment.

  • Technical Recruiting (AI/ML, engineering, product)

  • G&A Recruitment (Finance, HR, Ops)
  • Executive Search

• Ability to manage candidate experience with professionalism, clarity, and speed.
• Experience in People Operations (policies, onboarding, retention, culture, performance cycles) is a strong plus.
• Candidates with a track record of high‑quality placements, reduction of time‑to‑fill, process optimization, or scaling teams in fast‑paced environments will stand out.

• Leverage relationships with CHROs, Heads of Talent, and leadership across multiple industries.
• Work with recruiters who understand modern recruiting funnels, sourcing strategies, and close mechanics.
• Prioritize your confidentiality and privacy throughout the recruitment process.
• No spamming.
