About Us

Console is an AI platform that automates IT and internal support. We help companies scale without scaling headcount, and give employees instant resolution to their issues. Our agents understand the full context of the organization, handle requests end-to-end and pull in humans only when necessary.

Today, companies like Ramp, Scale, Webflow, and Flock Safety rely on Console to automate over half of their IT & HR requests. We've won every bake-off against our competitors, closed every trial customer and expect to 10x usage by year-end.

We're a small, talent-dense team: naturally curious, high-agency and low-ego. Our organization is very flat and ideas win on merit, not hierarchy. We're hiring exceptional people to keep up with demand. We're backed by Thrive Capital and world-class angels.

About the role

As the Founding Recruiter at Console, you’ll be responsible for building our recruiting function from the ground up and partnering closely with the founders to shape the team that builds our product and company.

You’ll work directly with the CEO, CTO, and leadership team to define hiring priorities, set a high talent bar, and design hiring processes that scale as the company grows. From day one, you’ll own the full recruiting lifecycle — sourcing, interviewing, closing, and candidate experience — while building the infrastructure and systems that enable fast, high-quality hiring.

This role is highly hands-on and strategic. You’ll help founders make thoughtful decisions about when to hire, who to hire, and how to build teams that compound over time. Your success will be measured by the quality of hires, speed of execution, and the strength of the recruiting foundation you build.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We work in-person and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

About you

• You’re a recruiter who thrives in early-stage environments and wants to build, not inherit, a recruiting function.

• You have strong judgment and taste for talent — you know how to assess signal, calibrate with founders, and maintain a consistently high bar.

• You’re hands-on and execution-oriented. You’re comfortable sourcing and engaging candidates directly, running interviews, and closing candidates in competitive markets.

• You’re a trusted partner to founders and hiring managers, able to challenge assumptions, give clear advice, and influence decisions with empathy and data.

• You care deeply about candidate experience and understand that great hiring reflects the values and quality of the company itself.

Requirements

• 5+ years of recruiting experience, ideally including early-stage startups or zero-to-one environments

• Proven experience hiring high-caliber technical, product, or design talent in competitive markets

• Strong outbound sourcing skills and comfort owning full-cycle recruiting

• Experience building recruiting processes, interview loops, and evaluation frameworks from scratch

• Ability to operate with high autonomy, ambiguity, and rapidly changing priorities

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Equity with early exercise & QSBS eligibility
