About Feathery

Feathery automates data intake workflows for insurance and wealth management firms. Industry leaders like Allstate and Sequoia Financial rely on Feathery to power mission‑critical processes such as underwriting, client onboarding, and automated account openings.

After growing revenue 6x YoY for each of the past two years, Feathery is scaling rapidly across financial services—and expanding beyond. As we enter our next stage of growth, building an exceptional team is our highest priority.

We’re at an inflection point. Product‑market fit is strong, enterprise demand is accelerating, and new product capabilities are rolling out quickly. To sustain this momentum, we need a strategic, high‑ownership recruiting leader to build our talent engine from the ground up.

We’re looking for a Founding Recruiter to architect and scale our hiring function. This person will partner directly with leadership to define hiring strategy, elevate talent standards, and build the systems and processes that enable Feathery to attract and close world‑class talent.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the DNA of a high‑growth company from the inside.

As Feathery’s Founding Recruiter, you’ll own full‑cycle recruiting across technical and go‑to‑market roles. You’ll build scalable systems, craft compelling candidate narratives, and serve as a trusted advisor to hiring managers and executives.

You’re equal parts strategist and operator: someone who can design the hiring roadmap while personally sourcing and closing top‑tier candidates.

• Own and drive full‑cycle recruiting across Engineering, Product, GTM, and Operations roles
• Build Feathery’s recruiting infrastructure from scratch (process, tooling, scorecards, employer branding, candidate experience)
• Partner with leadership to forecast hiring needs and define org design priorities
• Develop sourcing strategies that attract exceptional, high‑caliber talent in competitive markets
• Lead structured interview processes that prioritize quality, speed, and fairness
• Build a compelling employer brand narrative that reflects Feathery’s mission and momentum
• Establish recruiting metrics and dashboards to track pipeline health, time‑to‑fill, and hiring quality
• Create an exceptional candidate experience that reflects our product quality and culture
• Help shape onboarding practices to ensure new hires ramp quickly and effectively

• 3+ years of recruiting experience, ideally in high‑growth B2B SaaS startups
• Experience building or significantly scaling recruiting at an early‑stage company
• Proven ability to hire across technical and GTM functions
• Strong sourcing capabilities and creative talent acquisition strategies
• Excellent stakeholder management skills—you influence and partner effectively with executives and hiring managers
• Data‑driven mindset with experience tracking recruiting KPIs
• High ownership mentality—you thrive in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments
• Strong judgment for talent, culture fit, and long‑term potential

The people we hire today will define Feathery’s trajectory for years to come. As our Founding Recruiter, you won’t just fill roles—you’ll build the team that builds the company.

If you’re excited about building from zero, shaping culture, and scaling a category‑defining company, we’d love to meet you.
