The Role
At Moment, you’ll be expected to own and go full stack on our hiring engine. You should expect to drive discovery, outreach, and early relationship-building with top talent across multiple roles. You’ll partner closely with leadership and hiring managers to deeply understand what “world class” actually looks like. Your work will directly shape our ability to consistently attract and engage high-impact candidates as we scale.
This role is for someone who thrives in fast-moving, highly collaborative environments and enjoys the challenge of hard searches. You bring creativity, persistence, and a strong point of view on recruiting strategy, and you care deeply about doing the work thoughtfully and with rigor. You believe that great hiring isn’t just about filling roles, but rather a product that meaningfully influences who we become as a company.
What You’ll Do At Moment
Pipeline Generation - Own top-of-funnel sourcing for senior, staff, and principal product, design, and engineering roles. Build creative outbound campaigns, leverage networks, and develop unique angles to reach top-tier talent.
Full-Cycle Recruiting - Manage the entire candidate journey from first touch to close: screening, interview coordination, debriefs, offer construction, and onboarding. Ensure every candidate has a high-signal and delightful experience; even the ones we don't hire.
Hiring Manager Partnership - Partner with engineering leaders to define role profiles, calibrate scorecards, and build a shared model of what great looks like. Bring market intelligence, candidate signal, and process discipline to every search.
Process & Systems - Build and maintain the operational backbone of technical hiring: ATS hygiene, structured interview kits, scorecards, reporting, and recurring hiring rituals (pipeline reviews, debriefs, calibration sessions) that scale as the team grows
Brand & Storytelling - You're the first Moment most candidates experience. How you frame what we're building decides whether the best ones take the next call; own the story and sharpen it constantly.
