ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for our second inhouse recruiting team member at Pika! This is a high-impact, part-time opportunity (15–20 hours per week) with a strong possibility of full-time conversion in Q1 2027. As a Full Cycle Recruiter, you'll play a pivotal role in building the team that powers the next wave of creative AI. You'll own the recruiting process end-to-end—from sourcing to closing—and work closely with hiring managers and leadership across the company.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Manage the full candidate lifecycle: sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing top talent for a range of roles.

  • Partner with hiring managers to define jobs, build pipelines, and deliver an outstanding candidate experience.

  • Develop sourcing strategies to attract diverse, talented candidates in a competitive global market.

  • Own scheduling, coordination, and communications throughout the recruiting process.

  • Build trusting candidate relationships and positively represent Pika at every touchpoint.

  • Collaborate with the team to improve and scale recruiting processes as we grow.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Previous experience as a full-cycle recruiter, preferably at a tech company or AI startup.

  • Strong sourcing and pipeline-building skills.

  • Excellent communication and organization: you keep candidates and stakeholders informed every step of the way.

  • Ownership mindset—proactively identify and solve problems, taking initiative to get results.

  • Ability to work independently and flexibly in a fast-paced, hybrid environment.

  • Excitement about working at the intersection of technology, creativity, and AI.

BONUS POINTS

  • Experience scaling early-stage teams.

  • Interest or experience in technical, research, GTM, creative recruiting.

  • Familiarity with modern recruiting tools and platforms. (Ashby/Juicebox/Claude/Codex, etc)

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Opportunity to shape the future of recruiting at a fast-growing creative AI company.

  • Flexible, part-time role (~15–20 hours/week), with strong potential for full-time conversion in Q1 2027.

  • Competitive compensation.

  • Collaborative, innovative team culture.

  • Flexible hybrid work, and join us in our vibrant Palo Alto office.
