Branch is reshaping insurance through data, technology, and automation, making coverage more accessible and affordable. As Talent Acquisition Lead, you'll own the entire recruiting function end-to-end, reporting to Branch's People leader and partnering with executives and hiring managers across Claims, Underwriting, Actuarial, Product, Engineering, Agency, Finance, and Member Support. You'll manage full-cycle hiring: structured intake with hiring managers, target profile development, sourcing for hard-to-fill roles, interview design and panel calibration, offer management, and close. You'll own Branch's Ashby ATS instance—workflows, stages, automations, permissions, templates, and data hygiene. You'll build and continuously improve the AI layer underpinning the function using Claude: agents, projects, and workflows that automate intake-to-rubric conversion, candidate research and qualification, panel preparation, and interview summarization. You'll carry your own searches while building the systems that make hiring repeatable. You'll set and hold the hiring bar, drive feedback to decisions without drift, own recruiting reporting (pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-hire), and partner with People Operations and Finance on headcount planning, leveling, and compensation. You'll write the templates, question banks, scorecards, and documentation that enable hiring managers to run searches independently. You'll also own candidate experience from first touch through close, including thoughtful follow-up with candidates Branch doesn't hire. This role requires 7+ years of full-cycle, in-house recruiting across diverse functions; experience as a primary or sole recruiter managing both searches and systems; deep ATS administration expertise (Ashby preferred, Greenhouse/Lever translates); a structured hiring practice you can defend; real sourcing ability for hard searches; and expert-level daily Claude usage with demonstrated experience building agents, projects, and workflows. You should have already rebuilt a recruiting process around AI with specific examples of what you automated and what it replaced.
