About The Position

Clipbook's mission: reinvent how leaders listen to and engage the world.

We are the vertical AI category leader for the $150 billion communications, public relations, and corporate affairs industries. Since 2023, we have quietly grown into the largest AI company in this segment. We are backed by leading investors - including Mark Cuban, who co-led our seed round.
A bit more about us:
We bootstrapped to our first million in ARR and hit profitability before raising our $3.3 million seed round this year.
We're currently growing >10% month-over-month and on track to >3x ARR this year.
We're working with 200+ clients including the Boston Consulting Group, Weber Shandwick, the Gates Foundation, and dozens of government agencies across the country.
We will raise our Series A in early 2026.

Requirements

• Proven (3-5+ years) experience in full-cycle recruiting, ideally at high-growth startups or top-tier agencies.
• Track record of successfully hiring for technical roles (engineering, product) and go-to-market positions (sales, marketing, customer success).
• Strong ability to sell candidates on vision and opportunity, not just compensation.
• Exceptional organizational skills and ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously while maintaining candidate experience.
• Startup hustle and experience; we work a lot and want someone who is ready to go above and beyond.

• Define our hiring process: Create and refine interview processes, scorecards, and candidate experiences that attract top-tier talent while maintaining our bar for excellence.
• Source strategically: Proactively identify and engage passive candidates through creative sourcing strategies, building relationships with high-potential talent before we have open roles.
• Partner with leadership: Work directly with founders and hiring managers to understand team needs, define role requirements, and make strategic hiring decisions.
• Build our employer brand: Help tell Clipbook's story to candidates, showcasing our mission, culture, and growth trajectory to attract the best people in the market.
• Establish recruiting infrastructure: Implement ATS systems, reporting dashboards, and recruiting best practices that will scale with the company.

Benefits

• Competitive salary, medical, dental, and vision benefits, unlimited / flexible PTO policy, 401(k).
