Recruiting Lead

We’re looking for a Recruiting Lead to help us scale the early team that will reshape global trade. As our first recruiting hire, you’ll own the full hiring funnel — from sourcing exceptional talent to designing interview processes that reflect Reform’s culture of high standards, speed, and curiosity.

This is a hands-on, strategic role: you’ll work directly with the founders and technical leads to identify hiring priorities, shape our employer brand, and build relationships with top engineers, product thinkers, and GTM talent.

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting across technical and GTM roles — from sourcing to close.
• Partner closely with founders to define roles, processes, evaluation rubrics, and People Ops/HR-related pieces.
• Build creative sourcing strategies to identify exceptional, mission-aligned candidates.
• Design and refine candidate experiences that are fast, rigorous, and human.
• Implement early recruiting systems, tools, and data workflows to scale hiring efficiently.
• Represent Reform’s mission and culture as the first point of contact for candidates.

Qualifications

• 3–6 years of experience recruiting for early-stage startups or top-tier technology companies.
• Proven success recruiting engineers or technical talent (bonus for GTM exposure).
• Exceptional communication skills and candidate empathy.
• Strong operational rigor. You thrive in fast-moving environments and ambiguity.
• Experience or interest in global trade, AI, or logistics tech is a plus.

Why join us

• You’ll be foundational in shaping Reform’s team, culture, and trajectory.
• Work directly with founders to design a world-class recruiting function.
• Join a mission-driven company transforming how one of the most critical industries operates.
• Benefits: daily dinners, travel stipend, and comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance.

Interview Process

You’ll start with two short conversations with our founders, followed by a practical project related to your recruiting craft. The final step is an in-person session with our team.
