Founding Technical Recruiter
$150k - $225k USD
Who We Are
Probook is the AI dispatcher for the home services industry, transforming how plumbing, HVAC, and electrical businesses operate.
Our impact is real. Dispatching the right technician to the right job can mean the difference between a $300 band-aid fix and a $20,000 system replacement. By automating previously high-touch workflows around the clock, Probook ensures a consistent customer experience without the need for 24/7 live staffing. We unify our customers' processes into a single, scalable platform, giving businesses one place to run their entire dispatch operation.
The Role
We are assembling one of the most talent-dense teams in New York City, and the people we bring in now will define what this company becomes.
As our Technical Recruiter, you will work directly with the founders, operate without a safety net, and help us to identify the .01% of candidates who can thrive in a zero-to-one environment.
We are looking for an SME and a thought partner in how we scale.

What You Will Own
End-to-end ownership of technical searches across engineering, product, and design, from kickoff through signed offer.
Outbound sourcing: building pipelines through LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, talent mapping, AI tools, and community networks.
ATS hygiene in Ashby: every candidate, stage, and note is logged accurately and in real time.
Recruiting operations: maintaining scorecards, calibrating with hiring managers, and flagging process breakdowns before they slow hiring down.
Contribution to talent strategy as Probook's recruiting function scales.
Requirements
NYC-Based: Excited to work in-office 5 days/week in our high-collaboration culture.
3 - 5 years of technical recruiting experience at a Series A to C startup or a high-bar recruitment agency.
