Recruiter (8 month contract)

Most AI today is frozen in time—static models that cannot adapt to an evolving world. We think that’s backwards. Adaption’s mandate is to build efficient, real-time intelligence that continually adapts. We believe efficiency expands access, turning frontier capabilities into tools that benefit everyone.

We are entering a critical, high-velocity growth phase. To secure the talent density needed to build the world's top AI lab, we are launching an intensive 8-month recruiting sprint.

We need a high-energy, fast-moving Technical Recruiter to join us immediately on contract. This role is all about speed, hustle, and seamless execution. You will hit the ground running on Day 1 to source, engage, and help hire engineers and technical builders.

• High-Quality Outreach: Proactively hunt and engage top talent across academia, emerging labs, and technical communities before candidates even hit the open market.

• Creativity: Be creative in unique outreach, create bespoke experience for recruits.

• Leverage Modern Tools: Work daily with tools like Ashby, Juicebox, and LinkedIn Recruiter to build, track, and optimize talent pipelines rapidly.

• End-to-End Ownership: Manage full-cycle recruiting steps—from aggressive sourcing and initial screens to interview coordination and offer follow-ups.

• Uncompromising Candidate Care: Deliver lightning-fast response times and an exceptional, touchpoint-rich experience for every candidate.

• Tight Technical Alignment: Work side-by-side with research and engineering leads to quickly turn evolving technical roadmaps into actionable search criteria.

• Agile Iteration: Pivot sourcing tactics fast based on market signals, feedback loops, and shifting priority roles.

• 1–3+ Years of Tech Recruiting Experience: Early-career to mid-level recruiters with an agency or startup background who thrive in fast-paced and creative environment.

• Extreme Bias for Action: You are organized, care deeply and pay attention to the details. You move fast, follow up faster, and care about your canidates.

• AI Curiosity & Technical Literacy: A strong eagerness to learn the landscape of frontier machine learning (model efficiency, post-training, distributed systems) and speak credibly to technical talent.

• Tooling Fluency: Hands-on experience with modern sourcing tools (Ashby, Juicebox, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).

• Adaptability & Grit: Comfortable operating in ambiguity, solving problems on the fly, and balancing multiple urgent searches simultaneously.

• Type: 8-Month Contract (eligible for conversion)

• Focus: Technical Sourcing & Full-Cycle Recruiting (AI Research & Engineering)
