Company mission
To help founders build better businesses.
Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting, ideally in fast-paced, high-growth startup environments
- Strong experience recruiting GTM and business roles, particularly Sales; experience across Customer Success, Operations, or other business functions is a plus
- An excellent sourcer who knows how to proactively identify and engage strong candidates rather than relying primarily on inbound
- A strong communicator who can get candidates excited about an early-stage company and help close them in competitive processes
- Highly organized and able to manage multiple searches simultaneously without letting candidates or processes fall through the cracks
- Comfortable with speed and ambiguity - at an early-stage startup, the priorities shift, the roles evolve, and the bar keeps moving; you adjust without losing momentum
- Autonomous and decisive - you operate well as a team of one, make trade-offs without hand-holding, and iterate fast
- Genuinely motivated by the mission, not just the process - you want to help build something from the ground up, not just fill seats
What the job involves
- Lightfield is reinventing CRM from the ground up - and we're doing it fast. We're an early-stage startup where every hire directly shapes our trajectory, and we're looking for a hands-on recruiter to help us build the next phase of the team
- You'll own recruiting across the company, with an immediate focus on scaling our GTM organization across Sales, Customer Success, and Delivery. You'll work closely with hiring managers to source exceptional candidates, run initial screens, manage processes end-to-end, and help us close great people
- This is a highly hands-on role for someone who loves recruiting, moves quickly, has strong judgment on talent, and wants significant ownership at an early-stage company
- Full-cycle recruiting - end-to-end ownership across the company, with an immediate focus on Sales, Customer Success, and Delivery. You'll own the process from sourcing and initial screens through interviews, offers, and closing
- Sourcing engine, zero → one - proactively build strong candidate pipelines rather than relying on inbound. You'll figure out where the best candidates are, how to reach them, and how to get them excited about Lightfield
- Screening & talent judgment - run initial screens and develop a strong understanding of what great looks like at Lightfield, so hiring managers spend their time with the right candidates
- Process & tooling - implement the right amount of ATS structure and communication discipline for a lean, fast-moving startup so no great candidate ever falls through the cracks - without over-engineering for a company our size
- Candidate experience - run a crisp, high-velocity process that respects candidates' time and turns skeptics into advocates, hired or not
- Hiring manager partnership - work closely with hiring managers to define profiles, calibrate quickly, keep searches moving, and identify what's working or not working in each funnel
Our take
A major pitfall of CRM systems is the amount of admin required to maintain them. Follow up drafting, note logging and field updating mean that customers are always playing catch up to maintain the very system built to keep them on top of their customer relationships. Lightfield was designed to do this work itself, utilising AI-native automation to build a picture of your customer base.
Lightfield’s AI agents can contextualise customer interactions and use this to develop unique sales pipelines and meeting preparation, meaning that its users do less admin and close more deals. Tools on the Lightfield platform include a pipeline generation tool for time-strapped start-ups, a sales assistant for meeting memos and log updating and data capture for self-updating CRMs. All this speaks to a product that speaks to a culture of bogged-down, high-growth companies lacking the time to manage their growing client base.
Spun out from the co-founders' previous pitch-presentation company Tome, Lightfield released a migration tool in 2026, further incentivising businesses to take up its platform. With plenty of experience from its founding team, Lightfield is itself on the right track for high growth.
