## Job description

TL;DR: We’re looking for a GTM & Business Recruiter to help us build the GTM and Ops teams behind one of the most ambitious companies in AI safety. You’ll own full-cycle hiring across sales, partnerships, GTM engineering, events, and operations, building international teams from the ground up across the US and Europe.

## About us

[White Circle](https://whitecircle.ai) is an AI Safety company building the safety, reliability, and optimization layer for AI systems. At the core of our platform are policies – simple natural-language rules that define what an AI model should and shouldn’t do. We automatically test, enforce, and continuously improve these policies at scale.

- We’ve raised $11M from top funds, founders, and senior leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Mistral, DeepMind, Datadog, Sentry, and others
- We process over one hundred million API calls every month
- We fine-tune and train our own LLMs so they run faster and cheaper than any open or proprietary model

We’re a small, highly focused team. If you want to work deeply on hard problems, see your work ship to production quickly, and influence how AI safety is actually built – you’re the one we need.

You will:

- Own full-cycle recruitment, from defining the hiring strategy and sourcing candidates through interviews, offers, and acceptance
- Build our GTM & Ops team from the ground up across the US and Europe
- Hire for roles such as SDR, Account Executive, GTM Engineer, Partnerships Lead, Events Lead, and operations positions
- Develop a strong understanding of our product, market, customers, and commercial strategy
- Identify candidates who combine strong sales instincts with the technical fluency required to sell and operate in the AI market
- Source and engage exceptional passive talent using creative and highly targeted approaches
- Assess candidates’ individual impact on revenue, pipeline, market expansion, and business outcomes
- Partner closely with the Head of People, CEO, and hiring managers to define profiles, design interview processes, and make strong hiring decisions
- Build structured interviews that reveal commercial judgment, ownership, learning speed, and the ability to operate in an early-stage environment
- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience throughout the hiring process
- Track recruiting performance and continuously improve our processes, tools, and workflows
- Support hiring outside your primary stream when business priorities require it

You’ll fit right in if you:

- Have 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in high-growth technology companies, startups, or similarly fast-moving environments
- Have previously helped build GTM teams from scratch or during a period of rapid growth
- Have a strong track record of hiring sales and business talent, including roles such as SDRs, Account Executives, partnerships, GTM engineering, events, or operations
- Know how to distinguish genuinely high-impact commercial performers from candidates who have simply worked at successful companies
- Can quickly understand how an individual candidate influenced revenue, pipeline, deal velocity, market expansion, or another measurable business outcome
- Can evaluate whether sales and GTM candidates are able to understand technical products and communicate credibly with technical buyers
- Have experience recruiting across the US and EU markets
- Are highly proactive and resourceful when sourcing difficult-to-find talent
- Know how to build long-term relationships with passive candidates and close competitive searches
- Have excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
- Are comfortable operating with ambiguity, evolving priorities, and ambitious hiring goals
- Are willing and able to recruit beyond GTM and business roles when needed
- Speak and write fluent English (C1+)

A big plus:

- Experience building GTM teams for AI, dev tools, infra, cybersecurity, or other deeply technical products
- Experience hiring early GTM employees for a startup entering new markets
- An established network across US and European startup or GTM communities
- Experience recruiting both individual contributors and GTM leaders

## Why White Circle

- Meaningful equity package
- Paid time off in line with your local regulations, no matter where you work from
- All the hardware, tools, and services you need
- Covered subscriptions for AI agents
- Team off-sites twice a year: we’ve recently been to the Alps and to Saint-Tropez

## How we hire

- Introductory call with Head of People (25 min)
- Take-home test
- Final conversation with our CEO & Head of Revenue (45 min)

Please submit your application in English.
