## Job description

## Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come. This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched. Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you. At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

## Role Overview

We are looking for a Lead Technical Recruiter to help build Harvey Labs, our AI research organization. You’ll partner closely with our Chief Research Officer and technical leadership to build the team from the ground up, initially focused on post-training talent across data and evaluations, infrastructure, and modeling and training. You’ll own searches end-to-end, develop talent strategies for highly specialized AI talent markets, and help define how we identify and attract exceptional technical talent as Harvey Labs scales. This is a hands-on role with significant ownership. You’ll operate in ambiguity, develop a strong point of view on the AI talent landscape, and serve as a trusted advisor to technical leadership.

## What You'll Do

- Partner closely with our Chief Research Officer and Harvey Labs leadership to translate technical priorities into recruiting strategies
- Own full-cycle recruiting across specialized AI/ML, research, and engineering roles
- Build deep talent maps across leading AI companies, research labs, startups, academia, and open-source communities
- Develop creative, high-touch sourcing and engagement strategies for exceptional talent, from experienced researchers to emerging new grads
- Help leaders define new profiles, calibrate talent bars, and evolve search strategies based on market insights
- Advise leadership on talent availability, competitive dynamics, compensation, and candidate motivations
- Drive searches from initial market mapping through offer strategy, negotiation, and close
- Use data and market intelligence to continuously improve our recruiting strategy
- Help build scalable recruiting processes and raise the bar for technical recruiting across Harvey

## What You Have

- 7+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience in fast-paced, high-growth environments
- Experience recruiting for technical AI research teams or similarly specialized technical roles
- Strong aptitude for understanding complex technical domains and evaluating candidate qualifications
- Exceptional sourcer who enjoys identifying hard-to-find talent across research labs, startups, academia, open source, and other nontraditional channels
- Willing to take creative, white-glove approaches to engaging and closing exceptional talent
- Trusted advisor who can build credibility with highly technical leaders and candidates
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to help shape searches when the profile isn't fully defined
- Strong instincts for talent and a genuine interest in the evolving AI landscape
- Data-driven and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple complex searches without sacrificing candidate experience
- High ownership, low ego, strong judgment, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves
- Leads by example and helps elevate the broader recruiting team
- Highly resourceful and fluent with modern AI tools, using them to accelerate research, sourcing, outreach, market mapping, and recruiting operations without sacrificing judgment or the candidate experience

$163,900 - $245,900 USD
