Recruiter

At some point in the future, every business will answer their phone with voice AI. We are building the platform that makes it possible.

Phonely builds conversational voice AI agents for high volume phone workflows. Our customers use us to qualify leads, book appointments, route calls, and resolve real customer conversations in production. We are growing fast and just getting started, and the team you help us build is what makes that possible.

About the Role
We’re hiring a recruiter to help us find and win great people. This is a sourcing-heavy, outbound-first role: you’ll live in the top of the funnel, hunting for talent and getting them excited about Phonely. It’s a ground-floor seat at a fast-moving startup, which means you’ll learn a ton quickly, get real ownership from day one, and have room to grow into recruiting, marketing, or wherever your interests take you across GTM. If you want to wear multiple hats and figure out what you’re great at, this is the spot.

What you’ll do

• Source top candidates across roles through outbound outreach and creative channels
• Build and run outbound pipelines to keep our funnel full and moving
• Partner with hiring managers to understand what great looks like for each role
• Own a great candidate experience from first message to offer
• Track and manage candidates through our ATS (Ashby)
• Help sharpen our sourcing playbooks and outreach as we scale
• Pitch in across GTM as you grow, recruiting, marketing, and beyond

What you’ll bring

• 1 year of experience or less, we’re hiring for hunger and potential, not resume length
• Any outbound experience is a big plus (BDR, SDR, recruiting, or any role with cold outreach)
• Genuine excitement for talking to people and tracking down great talent
• A bias for action and comfort with a fast, ambiguous startup pace
• Curiosity about GTM broadly and a desire to grow into it

Nice to have

• Experience with an ATS or CRM
• A track record of hitting outbound targets in a prior role

You will work directly with the founders and have real ownership over how we grow the team.
