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.
