The posting

Here at Humanoid, we believe in a future where robots amplify human potential. That’s why we’ve set out on a mission to build the world’s most capable, commercially-scalable, and safe humanoid robots. We’re bringing that mission to life with HMND‑01 - our rapidly developed humanoid platform being deployed in real industrial environments - and we’re growing the team to take it even further.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring an Engineering Recruitment Lead to join our Recruitment team based in London. This is not a traditional recruiting role. You will act as a strategic hiring leader embedded within engineering, responsible for delivering critical hires across robotics, AI, and hardware — at speed and quality.

You will own the end-to-end hiring strategy, build high-performance pipelines in niche domains, and continuously optimize how we attract and close top-tier talent in one of the most competitive markets globally.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead end-to-end recruitment for highly specialized roles across:
  • Humanoid robotics (controls, perception, deep learning, reinforcement learning and others)
  • Embedded systems, electronics, and mechanical engineering
  • AI/ML, autonomy, and robotics software

- Ensure roles are closed on time with strong candidate quality and high acceptance rates

- Partner closely with hiring managers to define requirements, calibrate profiles, and drive decisions

- Work on-site daily with engineering teams to deeply understand technical needs and culture

- Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers, ensuring alignment on expectations and hiring bar

- Continuously improve interview processes, technical assessments, and decision-making frameworks

- Develop proactive sourcing strategies for hard-to-find, niche talent in physical AI and robotics

- Leverage your existing network across humanoid robotics / robotics ecosystem

- Build and maintain long-term relationships with passive candidates and industry experts

- Operate as a modern recruiter using AI tools, automation, and agents to increase efficiency and reach

- Utilize ATS systems and LinkedIn Recruiter as core tools, while going beyond them with creative sourcing approaches

- Experiment with new tools, workflows, and data-driven methods to improve hiring outcomes

- Own and track hiring funnel metrics (time-to-hire, conversion rates, pipeline quality)

- Identify bottlenecks in the hiring process and implement solutions quickly

- Provide regular, data-backed updates to leadership and hiring teams

- Conduct 1:1s with senior recruiters, mentoring and elevating hiring capabilities across the team

- Help define and scale best practices for technical recruiting in a deep-tech environment

- Contribute to building a high-performance talent function aligned with company growth

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Proven experience leading technical recruiting for complex engineering roles (hardware + software)

  • Deep expertise and network within:
  • Humanoid robotics / robotics / physical AI ecosystem
  • Strong understanding of engineering domains:
  • Robotics systems, embedded systems, AI/ML, autonomy

- Track record of closing high-impact roles in competitive markets

- Experience working closely with engineering stakeholders in fast-paced environments

  • Hands-on experience with:
  • ATS platforms (e.g. Lever, Greenhouse, Ashby)
  • LinkedIn Recruiter and advanced sourcing techniques

- Strong adoption of AI tools, automation, and innovative sourcing strategies

- Data-driven mindset with ability to diagnose pipeline issues and optimize processes

WHAT WE OFFER

- Competitive equity: stock options with meaningful upside as we scale.

- 30+ paid days off, including 23 days of annual leave, all UK bank holidays, and additional company closure days (including Christmas–New Year shutdown).

- Private healthcare, including virtual and in-person care.

- Pension scheme with 8% total contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.

- Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in-office.

- Work at the frontier - collaborate daily with world-class engineers, researchers, and product experts building the next generation of AI and humanoid robotics.

- Real ownership - direct access to founding leadership, meaningful input on product direction, and the ability to drive key initiatives from day one.

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.
