About the job
Viktor is an innovative AI coworker designed to enhance productivity in platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. By integrating with numerous tools, Viktor performs tangible tasks for various sectors including finance, marketing, operations, and engineering. Our mission is to streamline the SaaS landscape by providing a single, capable teammate to handle multiple functions.
We are a small but dynamic team with ambitious goals.
The Overview
As our Head of Talent Acquisition, you are the individual who walks into a room and intuitively identifies key players. You excel in remembering names, understanding motivations, and knowing the right communication channels to engage effectively. Your role merges strategic thinking with the personal touch needed to close deals. You possess a deep understanding of both people and business.
Your Responsibilities
You will be the first talent acquisition specialist in our company, responsible for creating a talent acquisition strategy from scratch. This role involves working directly with the founders, without intermediaries, to shape how we identify, evaluate, and attract top talent, especially engineers.
Manage the entire recruitment cycle. From sourcing and screening to closing and negotiating offers, every step will be under your purview. You will eventually build a team but will initially operate independently.
Develop recruitment processes. You will leverage our existing tools, like Ashby, and provide insights on interview loops, scorecards, employer branding, and candidate experience. You will define what excellence looks like and establish a system to achieve it consistently.
Identify top engineers. Seek out individuals with robust systems thinking and deep knowledge in AI. You understand that the best candidates are often not found on job boards, and you may even know some of them already.
Effectively close candidates. Your primary goal is to persuade talented individuals to choose a lesser-known company over others they might be considering. You will craft and communicate our compelling narrative.
Serve as our New York representative. As the first hire in the city, you will play a crucial role in shaping the culture of Viktor in the US.
Collaborate closely with founders. You will work side by side with Fryderyk (CEO) and Peter (CTO), who are dedicated to hiring and will involve you in discussions about senior hires.
