Job Description
About Us
At Tavus, we’re building the human layer of AI. Our mission is to make human-AI interaction as natural as face-to-face interaction, enabling the human touch where it has been previously unscalable. We achieve this through pioneering research in multi-modal AI models for human perception and understanding, combined with state-of-the-art human avatar rendering and communication models. Our models power everything from text-to-video AI avatars to real-time conversational video experiences across industries like healthcare, recruiting, sales, education, and more. By enabling AI to see, hear, and communicate with human-like authenticity, we’re creating the foundation for the next generation of AI employees, assistants, and companions.
We’re a Series A company backed by top investors, including Sequoia, Y Combinator, and Scale VC.
The Role
We’re hiring our first in-house recruiter to lead the charge in scaling our world-class team. This is a foundational role: you’ll build our recruiting engine from scratch, own full-cycle hiring across technical and GTM roles, and partner directly with the founding team to define and execute on talent strategy.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in early-stage chaos, loves building systems, and is excited to attract the kind of people who want to build what hasn’t been built before.
Your Mission 🚀
• Own end-to-end recruiting across all functions (engineering, GTM, Operations, and more)
• Build the recruiting infrastructure from the ground up – tools, process, candidate experience, data tracking, etc.
• Craft compelling job descriptions and outbound messaging to attract top talent in AI, engineering, and beyond
• Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements, interview processes, and closing strategies
• Source exceptional candidates through outbound efforts and creative channels
• Champion inclusive hiring best practices from day one
• Build and nurture a talent pipeline for future roles as Tavus scales
• Take lead on all things People Ops – from generating offers, onboarding new hires, handling visa logistics, etc.
