Overview
Lead Recruiter Jobs in United States at Edison – The AI Recruiter
Title: Lead Recruiter
Company: Edison – The AI Recruiter
Location: United States
The short version
We're an AI-driven recruiting service that matches great companies with great candidates through simple, conversational hiring — no clunky portals, no black-box processes. We're looking for a Lead Recruiter with experience, a strong network, and a preference for part-time, remote work while maintaining ownership of meaningful searches.
What you'll actually do
You'll own searches end to end — not just a slice of the funnel.
- Run intake like a consultant. Partner with hiring managers to sharpen role requirements, write job descriptions people actually want to read, and choose sourcing strategies that fit the role (not just "post and pray").
- Source, engage, screen. Find candidates others miss, get them genuinely interested, and run structured, consistent screens that are fair to everyone in the pipeline.
- Drive decisions with data. Manage interview loops, push for structured feedback, and guide stakeholders toward evidence-based hiring calls — not gut feel.
- Protect the candidate experience. Timely communication, honest updates, and a process candidates would recommend even if they don't get the offer.
- Make us smarter. Read the recruitment analytics, spot what's broken, refine the process, and help shape how our AI-enabled workflows evolve. Mentor junior recruiting partners along the way.
You're probably a fit if you have
- Full-cycle recruiting experience across multiple roles and seniority levels — intake to offer, repeatedly
- A genuine network in the recruitment community, and experience managing multiple clients you have strong relationships with
- Sharp sourcing and pipeline management skills, plus a structured interviewing approach grounded in fairness and consistency
- Fluency with ATS platforms, recruiting tools, and remote collaboration — you can run a fully virtual hiring process without dropping balls
- The credibility to be a strategic talent advisor: building trust with hiring managers and influencing decisions with data
- Clear, concise communication — you can represent an opportunity and an employer brand well in writing and on calls
- The discipline to work independently part-time, juggling multiple searches and prioritizing without someone looking over your shoulder
Bonus points: experience with AI-enabled recruiting tools, HR tech, or fast-moving startup environments.
Why this role is different
Most part-time recruiting gigs hand you a req and a deadline. This one hands you ownership. You'll work at the intersection of recruiting craft and AI tooling — seeing firsthand how technology is reshaping hiring, and having a real say in how it should.
We're remote-first and growing, and we value curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement over face time and process theater.
Sound like you? Apply or reach out directly — we keep our process simple, transparent, and fast. We'd love to hear what kinds of searches you've run and what your network looks like.
