Founding Recruiter
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
