About the role

What if your recruiting expertise could help connect the world's leading experts to some of today's most advanced technology initiatives?

Labelbox powers Alignerr, a network of world-class subject matter experts who contribute their expertise to help develop, evaluate, and improve cutting-edge AI systems. We're looking for driven outbound recruiters to identify and engage highly specialized professionals for our highest-priority projects.

Your mission is to find exceptional domain experts (PhDs, researchers, academics, and senior industry practitioners) in fields like scientific computing, cybersecurity, finance, engineering, mathematics, and other specialized disciplines. These experts apply their knowledge to create high-quality evaluations, verification tasks, and domain-specific training environments that improve the capabilities of next-generation AI models.

This isn't volume recruiting. It's precision hunting for the best minds in the world, on behalf of the projects that matter most. And you're paid for outcomes: every placement earns you a commission, with no ceiling on what you can make.

• Build and manage pipelines of niche, high-caliber experts for ongoing and future projects.
• Assess candidates for technical depth, professional accomplishments, and communication skills.
• Clearly communicate opportunities and build relationships with busy senior professionals.
• Guide candidates efficiently through the recruiting process from initial outreach to successful placement.
• Work independently in a fully remote, asynchronous environment on your own schedule.
