The posting

Who we are

Darkroom is a tech-enabled growth firm growing rapidly, with 150+ people and clients like Adobe, Amazon, Fanatics and Olipop. Shadow is the most advanced marketing agent in the world. We're building an operating system for marketing teams to change the entire advertising model. We're moving fast toward a total disruption of the advertising market, leading with services and innovating with software.

Location: New York, 40 Wall St https://www.google.com/maps/search/New+York,+40+Wall+St?entry=gmail&source=g. In person.

The job

Our company is only as good as the people we hire. You own that. You'll build the team that runs Darkroom's services business and the team that builds Shadow, which means you need to win the best media buyers, creative strategists and growth leaders in advertising, and the best engineers, AI researchers and product people in tech. Most recruiters can do one. We need someone who can do both.

• Own hiring across Darkroom and Shadow, from the first sourcing message to the signed offer • Personally close the hardest hires: senior leaders, top engineers, people who aren't looking • Build the machine: sourcing, scorecards, interview loops and a hiring bar that holds as we scale • Run our recruiting team and our ATS, and make every hiring manager faster and sharper • Use AI to do the work of a much bigger team, starting with sourcing and screening • Know the market cold: who's great, where they sit, what it takes to move them • Report to me and help shape how we grow, pay and keep great people

You

• Cracked. You've built teams that others couldn't, and you can prove it with names • 6+ years recruiting, with real wins in both advertising or agencies and technology, ideally at a fast-growing startup • You've hired engineers and AI talent, not just sales and marketing • A closer. Candidates take your call, and you know how to win the ones who say no • Data-driven. You run hiring like a funnel and fix what's broken • You've already built your own AI workflows for sourcing and screening • Low ego, high bar • In NYC, in the office

What It's Like to Work at Darkroom

Darkroom is not a typical agency. We're looking for A players who want to build something great. We move fast, think deeply, and expect everyone to bring insight and rigor to everything they touch. We hold a high bar for performance, creativity and ownership, and we support each other relentlessly. No egos, no red tape.

We believe in autonomy with accountability, truth over comfort, and outcomes over optics.

• Unlimited PTO + US holidays: Rebooting is part of the work. • In person in NYC: You'll work from our New York office at 40 Wall St https://www.google.com/maps/search/40+Wall+St?entry=gmail&source=g. • Health & Wellness: Company-sponsored medical, dental and vision coverage. • Finances and retirement: A 401(k) with company match and profit-sharing opportunities. • Parental Leave: Flexible parental leave for new parents. • Growth: Build and lead the talent function as we scale. • Compensation: The base salary range for this role is $170,000 to $200,000 per year, with eligibility for an annual bonus. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and qualifications.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
