Nomic is building a domain-specific AI platform for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, enabling firms to automate drawing review, code compliance, submittal review, and project research. As Nomic's first dedicated recruiter, you will build the talent acquisition and talent intelligence function from the ground up.
You will own full-cycle technical recruiting, primarily for engineering and product roles, with expansion into go-to-market (sales, customer success, marketing) and business operations as the company scales. Your responsibilities include sourcing, screening, interview design, debriefs, offer negotiation, and close. You will partner closely with engineering and product leaders to define role requirements, calibrate candidate profiles, and build structured, fair interview loops. You must speak credibly with engineers about the technical work, stack, and problems Nomic is solving, and make a compelling case to candidates with multiple offers.
You will design and own the recruiting infrastructure, including ATS selection, workflows, interview processes, scorecards, and candidate experience. You will establish and track hiring metrics (time to hire, funnel conversion, source quality, offer acceptance) and use data to continuously improve the process. A key component of this role is building talent intelligence: mapping the talent landscape across AI, engineering, and AEC; tracking compensation benchmarks and competitor hiring activity; and identifying where top talent comes from. You will maintain relationships with strong candidates long before roles open, so conversations are already advanced when positions become available.
The role also includes in-person talent acquisition activities. You will host talent partner events, attend external marketing events, walk conference floors, engage with universities, and build Nomic's presence as a destination employer for top talent. You will find people in places other recruiters do not think to look, treating sourcing as a craft rather than a checklist. You will partner with marketing to position Nomic as the place to work for the best talent and provide leadership with market insights and hiring recommendations.
This is a builder's role: you will create recruiting systems and processes from scratch, not maintain existing ones. You will have significant ownership and autonomy, with real input into who Nomic becomes.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Proven full-cycle recruiting experience with a strong track record in technical hiring for engineering and product roles, ideally at a high-growth startup or in-house at a tech company
- Experience sourcing and hiring for GTM and business operations roles, or the ability to pick it up quickly
- Demonstrated ability to source creatively and find candidates others missed; sourcing treated as a craft, not a checklist
- Builder's instinct: experience standing up recruiting systems, processes, and data from scratch
- Analytical and data-minded; ability to use market data and funnel metrics to make better hiring decisions and influence hiring managers
- Genuine curiosity about AEC, AI, or both; willingness to become an expert in the domain
- Comfort operating with significant ownership and autonomy with minimal hand-holding
