About the Role

As a Recruiting Lead at Kaedim, you will build and run the hiring engine that powers our next stage of growth. You’ll work directly with the founders to define who we hire, how we find them, and how we assess them, across both technical and business roles.

This role is well-suited to an ex-founder or early builder who has hired early teams before, cares a lot about who they work with, and wants to have a direct hand in shaping the culture and talent density of the company.

Responsibilities

• Own the full recruiting lifecycle for priority roles: sourcing, outreach, screening, coordination, and closing.
• Work with founders and team leads to define role profiles, hiring criteria, and interview processes.
• Actively source candidates through platforms like LinkedIn, founder networks, communities, and events.
• Run high-signal interviews and screens, focusing on both skills and values/ways of working.
• Maintain a clear view of the hiring pipeline, priorities, and expected timelines.
• Continuously improve our recruiting process (e.g., better interview loops, practical exercises, scorecards).
• Help shape and reinforce Kaedim’s culture through how we hire, onboard, and support new joiners.

Requirements

• Meaningful experience hiring for startups — as a founder, early team member, or recruiter working closely with founders.
• Strong instincts for talent: you’ve seen what “great” looks like in technical and/or commercial roles.
• Comfortable doing hands-on sourcing and outreach, not just coordination.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to represent Kaedim clearly and honestly to candidates.
• Experience as a founder, co-founder, or early builder at a tech company.
• Based in London or Singapore (or willing to relocate).

Nice to Haves

• Experience building hiring processes for engineering, ML, or product roles.
