Recruitment role focused on talent acquisition for a high-growth AI research and product company.
Responsibilities
- We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to join our truly global Talent team at ElevenLabs. This is not a conventional recruiter role — you’ll own complex, high-impact technical hiring end to end, from shaping the search strategy through to closing truly exceptional talent. You’ll partner deeply with engineering, research, and leadership teams to re-imagine what great technical hiring looks like at scale.
- You’ll be a key member of a small, high-powered team that’s redefining quality of hire and pushing the boundaries of how world-class technical talent is found, engaged, and hired. This role sits at the intersection of deep technical specialization, high velocity, and an uncompromising bar .
- If you’re energized by ownership, creative problem-solving, and building hiring systems that scale — this role will stretch and level up your career.
Requirements
- Proven experience hiring top-tier engineering and technical talent in competitive markets (we’d love to see ~3+ years, but impact matters more than years).
- Experience running full-cycle technical recruiting, including sourcing strategy, stakeholder management, and closing.
- Strong ability to manage high-complexity searches with many moving parts — you stay structured, adaptable, and focused.
- Skilled at translating technical and business needs into clear hiring strategies and compelling candidate narratives.
- Excellent written and verbal communication — you build trust with both deeply technical candidates and senior stakeholders.
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced, remote-first environments and collaborating across global time zones.
- Curious, creative, and genuinely interested in engineering, AI, and how exceptional teams are built.
Nice to have
- Experience hiring for research, infrastructure, systems, or other deeply technical roles.
- Experience recruiting globally across multiple regions.
- Background in high-growth startups or similarly fast-moving environments.
- A builder’s mindset: you experiment, learn quickly, spot patterns, and continuously refine recruiting playbooks and processes.
Conditions
- Innovative culture: You’ll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
- Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact - beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
- Learning & development : ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
- Social travel : We also provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
- Annual company offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location - past offsites have included Croatia and Italy.
- Co-working : If you’re not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.
Other
- ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.
- We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model.

Our investors are some of the world's most prominent, including Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $11B - multiples of 11, always. We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:
- ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.

- Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team - builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.
- High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
- Impact not job titles: We don’t have job titles. Instead, it’s about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.
- AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results. We do this across the whole company—from engineering to growth to operations.
- Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.
- Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.
- Owning full-cycle recruiting for highly technical roles across product engineering, ML/AI, infrastructure, research, and beyond.
- Partnering closely with hiring managers to deeply understand problems, calibrate on signals, and continuously raise the hiring bar.
- Designing and executing thoughtful search strategies — from market mapping and outreach to interview design and closing.
- Managing multiple complex searches simultaneously without sacrificing candidate experience or quality.
- Acting as a trusted advisor to candidates, guiding them through a rigorous process with clarity, empathy, and conviction.
- Serving as an ambassador for ElevenLabs — every interaction reflects our values and sets the tone for the candidate experience.
- Continuously improving how we hire by iterating on processes, tooling, and data-driven insights.
- This role is remote and can be executed globally. If you prefer, you can work from our offices in Bangalore, Dublin, London, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Warsaw.
