Role
Who you are
- Strong technical recruiting experience, with a real understanding of technical talent, engineering teams, and how different technical functions work together
- Startup experience. You know what it feels like to operate in an environment where the process is still being built and speed matters
- Strong sourcing ability. You can build pipeline from scratch, map markets, test new channels, and keep pushing when the easy path does not work
- Strong talent judgment. You know how to assess candidate quality, identify tradeoffs, and separate polish from real ability
- Strong negotiation and closing ability. You can understand what matters to a candidate and help them make a high-conviction decision
- High integrity and discretion. You will have access to confidential candidate, compensation, company, and leadership information, and we need to trust your judgment completely
- A consultative partnership style. You can build trust with leaders, be direct, hold strong opinions loosely, and have hard conversations without damaging the relationship
- Experience across both technical and GTM recruiting is strongly preferred
- Prior experience as an engineer or AE before moving into Talent is a plus
- Executive search, embedded search, founding recruiter, or boutique technical agency experience is a plus, especially when paired with meaningful in-house experience
- You have a "do what it takes" attitude, willing to dive into problems and solve them yourself
- You'd describe yourself as relentlessly resourceful
- You have a strong internal sense of urgency, a bias toward doing things today rather than tomorrow
- You move fast, communicate clearly, and know where process helps and where it doesn't
- Startup experience is required for this role
- You're excited about the adventure of building a company
- You like ambiguity and can move quickly without perfect information
- You are direct, but constructive. You can push back, update your view when the evidence changes, and stay focused on the outcome
- You have unusual tenacity. When everyone says the pipeline is impossible, you keep going with a grin on your face
- You believe the best candidates should want to work at Ivo, and you are willing to do the work to help them understand why
- You want to help build the Talent function, not just work inside one that already exists
What the job involves
- Ivo’s Talent team is early. Until recently, the company had not worked with a true recruiting team, and a lot of the muscle around structured hiring, trust with Talent, and high-quality pipeline is still being built. That is the opportunity
- We’re hiring a Talent Partner to add serious bandwidth to the recruiting team and help build the Talent function from 0 to 1
- This person will own hard searches, especially technical roles, while also flexing across GTM. They will source, assess, interview, close, attend and run industry events, and partner directly with leaders across the business
- The bar is high: we need someone who can create pipeline without making excuses, keep quality high, and earn trust by becoming a true subject-matter expert in the roles, teams, product, and talent markets they support
- This is not a mature recruiting seat where the playbook is handed to you. Things are evolving. Processes are not fully built. It is messy, and that is part of the fun. The right person will help define how Talent partners with the business at Ivo and will become an integral part of how we hire the team that builds the company
- Build high-quality pipeline for hard technical and GTM searches, especially when the obvious sourcing channels are not working
- Partner with hiring managers and leaders as a true consultative Talent Partner: push back, explain candidate tradeoffs, help the team make hard decisions, and keep the quality bar high
- Become deeply fluent in Ivo’s product, teams, technical org, GTM motion, and talent markets so you can sell the opportunity credibly to exceptional candidates
- Assess candidates with real judgment, not vibes. You’ll help the team understand where candidates are strong, where they are weak, and what tradeoffs we are making
- Close candidates in competitive processes by understanding candidate psychology, motivations, concerns, and decision dynamics
- Help Ivo build market presence by attending industry events, helping run events and programs, and turning those relationships into strong candidate pipeline
- Build trust in the Talent function by moving quickly, communicating directly, and showing leaders that recruiting is an asset to the business
Our take
An enterprise's contracts can be a key source of information to support better, faster decision-making, but extracting insights from them can be cumbersome due to their structure and complexity. One of Ivo's co-founders experienced this complexity first-hand, which is why the company was created to help streamline these workflows.
Whilst traditional contract workflows can slow down business, and even introduce more risk, Ivo's approach leverages AI to automate contract insights at scale. Its platform can review agreements, benchmark, uncover relationships between contracts, answer complex contract questions, and more.
Through this, Ivo reduces the workload for teams, so they can focus on actually creating value for the business. The platform is utilised by teams at IBM, Uber, Shopify and Canva, and the company has raised substantial funding to support accelerated product development and the building out of its team.
