Head of Recruiting Operations

$200,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($100 USD/hour)

This role is designed for recruiters who have moved beyond sourcing, screening, and treating resumes as predictive instruments.

As part of Crossover's People and Talent Operations team, you will architect end-to-end hiring systems. Your mandate is not to shepherd candidates through a pipeline. It is to engineer systems that draw in the right talent, measure actual capability, and produce timely, high-quality hires — hires who meet the standard and remain. When results fall short, you will not rationalize the gap. You will rebuild the mechanism.

Our hiring model diverges from convention. We do not conduct manual sourcing, prioritize resume-based screening, or position recruiters as gatekeepers. Job postings are constructed to engage and reach the appropriate audience, including passive talent. Assessment frameworks are built to evaluate judgment, skills, transferable knowledge, and real output well before candidates engage with a hiring team.

We believe in transparency: this environment is not suited to everyone, and that is not a critique — it is a matter of alignment. We are committed to respecting candidates' time, so before you proceed with our application, it is essential to understand what this role does not involve.

If any of the following statements resonate with you, this may not be the right opportunity:

• You wish to focus on sourcing, resume evaluation, or conducting early-stage screening calls.
• You are hesitant to push back on hiring managers when requests veer into low-value or non-compliant territory.
• You prefer receiving explicit direction rather than identifying what systems need to be built.
• You view AI as something to approach cautiously rather than integrate deliberately into your work.
• You depend on meetings for alignment rather than creating dashboards, documentation, and proactive status updates.
• You assume retention challenges are purely management issues and never indicators to examine earlier in the hiring cycle.

This is an AI-first operation. AI generates drafts, options, data summaries, and initial outputs by default. Your contribution lies in shaping prompts, establishing boundaries, recording rationale, and ensuring output quality. You will regularly delegate execution to AI and concentrate on oversight, system tuning, and building scalable agentic workflows.

The position is global and fully remote. Autonomy is substantial. Accountability is equally high. You will engage directly with senior leadership and C-suite figures across a private-equity-backed portfolio, with the expectation of proactive updates and early identification of risk. You must be available for a minimum of four hours during U.S. business hours on weekdays, when key stakeholders are active. Beyond that window, your schedule is self-managed.

A final note on transparency: our application process is substantive. It demands real time and thoughtful engagement. Most applicants spend 1-3 hours during the process, and this role frequently requires more. This is deliberate, to ensure alignment on both sides.

If this description heightens your interest rather than diminishes it, we would welcome your application.
