The posting

LEAD TECHNICAL RECRUITER @ VARICK AGENTS

ABOUT VARICK:

Varick builds AI agents that take over real operational workflows inside the world's largest enterprises. Our forward-deployed engineers and strategists embed with client teams to map how work gets done and build POCs, then our engineers bring those agents into production. We're venture-backed, revenue-generating from day one, and already in production inside several of these companies. You'll join an elite team from Meta, AWS Bedrock, Citadel Securities, McKinsey, BCG, Stanford, and more.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

You build the team that builds Varick. We hire to an extremely high bar across forward deployed engineering and strategy, engineering, and go-to-market, and you own finding and closing the people who clear it.

This is full-cycle recruiting with real ownership and direct access to the founders. Our best candidates are not looking for a job, and their LinkedIn titles rarely tell you who they are. You need the judgment to read a profile for what someone actually did, and the presence to get a senior engineer or a former banker on the phone.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

- Own full-cycle recruiting for every open role: sourcing, screening, scheduling, and closing

- Build and run pipelines of high-caliber candidates for Forward Deployed Engineers, Forward Deployed Strategists, engineering, and go-to-market

- Screen profiles with real judgment. Look past inflated titles to what a person built, owned, and delivered

- Partner with the founders and hiring managers to calibrate the bar, and run interview loops that respect the team's time while client work is live

- Run batch onsites so strong candidates move from first call to offer in days, not weeks

- Close candidates. Sell the role, the team, and the equity, and handle competing offers

- Own the recruiting systems and data in Ashby so hiring is measurable and predictable

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

- 2+ years of technical or high-bar recruiting, ideally in-house at a startup or at a top firm

- A track record of sourcing and closing strong candidates, especially passive ones

- Sharp judgment on talent. You can tell a builder from a title-holder in a five-minute read

- Organized, fast, and proactive, with excellent candidate communication

- Comfort building process in an early-stage environment

HELPFUL EXPERIENCE:

- Recruiting engineers, AI and ML talent, or forward deployed roles

- Recruiting from investment banking, private equity, or top-tier consulting

- Modern recruiting tools: Ashby, LinkedIn Recruiter, and AI sourcing tools

- A real interest in AI and in what makes a great operator

CULTURE:

- Extreme ownership. You own the tasks end-to-end, at an extreme level. You think beyond the task at hand, consider upstream and downstream impact, and are accountable for the entire outcome

- An instinctual sense of urgency. You thrive in and help foster an environment with urgency. When a new request comes in, it is instinctually clear to you how that fits into the existing prioritization list. If it goes to the top of the list, you jump on it immediately, help the rest of the team realize the shift, and consider any impact of de-prioritizing other items

- Low ego, high agency. We are all on this rocket ship together. If you win, the team wins and vice versa. You don't wait for permission to pursue a task. If you can do something that moves the needle, do it

- Curious. Our work requires deep curiosity, both when it comes to understanding the clients' work and what matters to them, and when it comes to keeping up with and adopting the latest AI developments. Examples to showcase this could be pursuing niche interests, reading textbooks on the weekend, questioning the latest research, etc.

- Perfectionist. You must be proud of your work product. In a client-facing business, it is critical that we put correct, well-informed, and well-documented material in front of the client. We are held to the highest standards and embody that mindset internally within Varick too

- Startup mindset. Things are ambiguous. The hours are long. Weekend work is expected. And this excites you. With AI, the world is moving extremely quickly, and the ways of working are changing every day. We are at the forefront and help facilitate this rapid change. In the next 3, 5, and 10 years, things are going to change significantly, and you join to work hard and be a part of this exciting journey towards an AI-native future

- Feedback metabolism. You never need the same correction twice, and you treat every review as compounding rather than criticism. You spot opportunities to give, and are comfortable giving, feedback to all of your peers, be it upward, downward, or horizontal

- Competitive. You are here to win. You are driven by performing better than competitors, and by delivering outcomes that move the needle. Your background speaks to your competitive mindset with top performance in e.g., sports, eSports, former career, research, etc.

- Based in SF or willing to relocate. On-site in our Financial District office, five days a week

WHAT THIS ROLE ISN'T:

- Not a coordinator role. You own outcomes, not calendars

- Not agency recruiting. You hire for one company and live with every hire you make

- Not volume hiring. One great hire beats ten average ones

WHY VARICK:

- Every hire you make moves the company. In a small team, you can see the impact of each person you bring in

- Direct access to the founders, with no layers between you and the decision

- You'll see how the world's largest enterprises actually run, through the people you hire to work inside them

- High-bar team. Everyone here is someone you'll want to learn from: operators, engineers, and strategists at the top of their craft

- Small, early team. Your judgment shapes the product, the playbooks, and how Varick scales

- Meaningful equity at a stage where it still compounds

We are an equal opportunity employer.

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.
