From the original posting
TL;DR: We're hiring a Contract Sales Recruiter to own full-cycle recruiting for Account Executives at Listen Labs. You'll source, manage agency partners, run process, and close. Remote-friendly.
Background
Listen Labs is an AI-powered research platform that helps teams uncover insights from customer interviews in hours — not months. We help customers analyze conversations, surface themes, and make faster, smarter product decisions.
Company highlights — entirely product-led:
World-Class Team: Founded by serial entrepreneurs (previous AI exit), former co-founders, and talent from Jane Street, Twitter, Stripe, Affirm, Bain, Goldman Sachs, and many more Sequoia-backed startups (plus IOI/ICPC backgrounds).
Hypergrowth: We’re a 30-person team backed by Sequoia, growing from $0 to a $12M run-rate in under a year. We move fast, care deeply about craft, and love working with people who take ownership.
Traction: Rapid growth across segments with enterprise wins at Google, Microsoft, Nestlé, and P&G.
Performance: Industry-leading win rate driven by a highly differentiated product.
Market Validation: Consistently winning customers across all segments with over six-figure lands that lead to quick expansions.
Viral Product: Interviews are shared with tens of thousands of viewers, fueling PLG, organic expansion, and daily inbound from Fortune 500s.
What You’ll Do
Own full-cycle recruiting for AE roles — sourcing, outreach, screens, offer, close.
Source candidates directly and manage a funnel of external agency partners in parallel.
Vet, onboard, and manage agency relationships: scorecards, feedback turnaround, fee negotiation, cutting underperformers.
Build and refine the AE interview loop, scorecards, and candidate collateral.
Partner with sales leadership on comp strategy and close negotiations.
Keep Ashby data clean — pipeline health, pass-through rates, source mix (direct vs. agency).
Who You Are
3+ years of full-cycle recruiting, with meaningful time spent specifically on Sales/AE hiring.
Direct experience running and managing agency funnels — not just receiving submittals, but triaging, coaching, and holding agencies to a bar.
Comfortable in a startup or high-growth environment with minimal structure.
Proven closer — can speak to specific AE reqs you've filled and time-to-fill.
Strong outbound/sourcing chops; you don't rely on inbound or agencies alone.
Analytical — you think in funnel conversion, not just headcount.
Remote OK; some overlap with SF hours expected for standups/interviews.
