Job Description

Welcome to Crosby, the next-generation law company!

We're a team of technologists and legal experts collaborating closely to reimagine corporate legal services from the ground up. We build proprietary technology and human-in-the-loop workflows to enhance the lawyer-machine relationship radically. We want to review complex documents, for example, faster than ever, and with perfect quality.

Crosby was founded by Ryan (Penn, Stanford Law, ex-Cooley, former GC) and John (Penn M&T, ex-Ramp, ex-Google).

We believe:

  • A great legal system is the watermark of a great society.

  • Legal work is an art and science. We want to discover the frontier between the two and codify the scientific parts, which is a magnificent puzzle.

  • Selling work, not software, is the best way to realize the productivity gains of GenAI for professional services.

  • In an in-person culture at our NYC office.

The Role:

  • As our first recruiter, you’ll play a critical role in shaping our team and talent function. You’ll lead end-to-end recruiting across key roles (engineering, product, go-to-market, and operations), build scalable processes, and help define what great hiring looks like at Crosby Legal.

  • This is an opportunity to be a strategic partner to leadership, have a meaningful voice in company growth, and leave your mark on the future of our team and culture.

  • Crosby needs a rare breed of technical talent; simultaneously capable of developing software, leveraging AI, and working with skilled professionals from a completely different domain.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own the full-cycle recruiting process: sourcing, screening, scheduling, closing

  • Partner directly with hiring managers and leadership to deeply understand hiring needs

  • Build out recruiting processes, templates, scorecards, and ATS workflows

  • Source and engage passive candidates across multiple functions

  • Drive a strong candidate experience that reflects our values

  • Track metrics and use data to iterate and improve continuously

  • Represent the company brand externally, help us tell our story, and attract top talent

  • Respect the Candidate: Ensure a positive candidate experience throughout the recruitment process, from the first point of contact to the final offer.

  • Know the Market: Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and developments in the technology and AI job market to inform recruiting strategies.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience (in-house)

  • A highly organized and process-driven, but adaptable, as things change

  • Strong sourcing skills and know-how to build pipelines from scratch

  • Great communicator and relationship builder with both candidates and hiring managers

  • Someone who can take ownership and thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

  • Passionate about building teams and helping people find the right opportunities

  • Ability to adapt on the fly in a fast-paced start-up environment

  • Experience setting up ATS or recruiting systems (we use Ashby)

Ideal Qualifications:

  • You’ve been a “first” recruiter and love building from zero to one

  • Experience hiring across multiple functions, especially technical and GTM roles

  • Extensive experience hiring AI-first candidates

  • You are a culture and team builder

Why Work at Crosby Legal:

  • Competitive salary and equity compensation

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

  • Unlimited PTO

  • In-person team in NYC with a collaborative, high-energy environment

Apply now to join Crosby and be part of transforming the legal landscape.
