Not a specialist lane. You'll run the full pipeline for whatever role is open, from defining what "qualified" means to getting an offer signed. ## What You'll Do - Own full-cycle recruiting. Intake with hiring managers, build the pipeline, run process, close candidates — across every function at Bobyard, technical and non-technical. - Source proactively. GitHub, LinkedIn, research corpora, niche communities, referral networks — for engineering roles — and equally sharp sourcing instincts for GTM, ops, and CS talent where the signal looks different. - Write outreach that converts. Precise, respectful, relevant messaging tailored to the role and the person. No generic templates. Every message earns a reply or teaches you something. - Run a tight interview process. Coordinate panels, keep candidates and interviewers on schedule, chase feedback, keep Ashby clean and current. - Build the research layer. Structured candidate profiles — background, signal, fit hypothesis — so hiring managers can move fast with context, regardless of function. - Own offers and negotiation. Draft and manage offer letters, work comp bands, close candidates, loop in legal/immigration partners when needed. - Instrument the funnel. Track source quality, response rates, stage conversion, and time-to-fill across every open role. Surface what's working and kill what isn't. - Partner with the Talent Engineer. Feed signal into automation workflows. Help identify where manual work can be systematized without losing quality. - Represent Bobyard well. Every candidate touchpoint — technical or not — is a brand moment. You're often the first impression of who we are and why this company matters. Desired Experience - 3–5 years of full-cycle recruiting at an early-stage startup, spanning both technical and go-to-market/operations hiring - Comfortable switching context — sourcing a computer vision engineer in the morning, closing a CS hire in the afternoon - Skilled at reading a resume, GitHub profile, or LinkedIn and quickly forming a fit hypothesis, no matter the function - Strong writer — your outreach gets replies because it's thoughtful, not because it's volume - Comfortable operating without a full playbook. You figure it out, then document it - Data-literate: you track your pipeline, know your conversion rates, and use that to improve - Fluent in Ashby (or similar ATS) and LinkedIn Recruiter - Some exposure to offer structuring, comp bands, or immigration/visa basics a plus - Bonus: exposure to construction, trades, or technical industries ## What we offer - A real path to running a talent line, not a hypothetical one - A team that moves fast, owns outcomes, and doesn't hold meetings about meetings Comp Philosophy We are proud to offer competitive, top-of-market compensation because we want to celebrate the dedicated people who ship amazing work and drive our success. Our individual compensation is thoughtfully tailored based on your role, experience, and contributions, alongside performance-based rewards. ## About Bobyard ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Bobyard provides an AI-powered platform that automates construction takeoffs and cost estimates for trades like landscaping, electrical, and HVAC, helping contractors bid faster and more accurately. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Michael Ding ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Construction Technology (ConTech), AI-powered Software - **Target customers**: B2B; General contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trade businesses in landscaping, electrical, mechanical, flooring, and other construction sectors. - **Mission or purpose statement**: To revolutionize the construction industry by automating the takeoff and estimation process, making it 10x faster and eliminating costly mistakes. ## Products & Services - **Bobyard Platform (AI-Powered Takeoffs & Estimates)**: A SaaS platform that uses Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to automate the quantification and measurement of construction plans.
