Job description

We’re looking for a Recruiting Lead to help us scale the early team that will reshape global trade. As our first recruiting hire, you’ll own the full hiring funnel — from sourcing exceptional talent to designing interview processes that reflect Reform’s culture of high standards, speed, and curiosity.

This is a hands-on, strategic role: you’ll work directly with the founders and technical leads to identify hiring priorities, shape our employer brand, and build relationships with top engineers, product thinkers, and GTM talent.

Responsibilities

  • Own full-cycle recruiting across technical and GTM roles — from sourcing to close.
  • Partner closely with founders to define roles, processes, evaluation rubrics, and People Ops/HR-related pieces.
  • Build creative sourcing strategies to identify exceptional, mission-aligned candidates.
  • Design and refine candidate experiences that are fast, rigorous, and human.
  • Implement early recruiting systems, tools, and data workflows to scale hiring efficiently.
  • Represent Reform’s mission and culture as the first point of contact for candidates.

Qualifications

  • 3–6 years of experience recruiting for early-stage startups or top-tier technology companies.
  • Proven success recruiting engineers or technical talent (bonus for GTM exposure).
  • Exceptional communication skills and candidate empathy.
  • Strong operational rigor. You thrive in fast-moving environments and ambiguity.
  • Experience or interest in global trade, AI, or logistics tech is a plus.

Why join us

  • You’ll be foundational in shaping Reform’s team, culture, and trajectory.
  • Work directly with founders to design a world-class recruiting function.
  • Join a mission-driven company transforming how global logistics operates.
  • Comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance.
