## About Peloras
Peloras is an AI Infrastructure platform built for HR teams. We combine multi-agent AI orchestration, deep candidate intelligence, dynamic dashboards and screening at scale to help companies build exceptional teams faster and smarter. We're at an early and exciting stage — and we're building the team that will take us to the next level.
## The Role
We're looking for a Director of Talent Acquisition to lead hiring across two of our most critical functions: Go-To-Market and Engineering. You will build these teams from the ground up — owning the strategy, the process, and the people decisions that will define what Peloras becomes.
This is a director-level role with full scope. You will lead a team of recruiters, senior recruiters, and recruitment managers, and you will report directly to the founder. The mandate is clear: build world-class GTM and Engineering teams, at pace, without compromising on quality.
## What You'll Do
- Own the end-to-end talent strategy for GTM and Engineering — from workforce planning to offer close
- Lead, develop, and scale a team of recruiters, senior recruiters, and recruitment managers
- Define hiring frameworks, role profiles, and evaluation criteria in close partnership with leadership
- Build talent pipelines before roles are open, not after
- Bring structure, rigor, and velocity to a hiring function that is being built for scale
- Use data and AI-powered tools to continuously sharpen how we hire
## Who You Are
- Currently a Director of Talent Acquisition, VP of Talent, Head of Recruiting, or equivalent
- Working at a startup or scale-up that is actively and aggressively hiring right now — you understand what high-velocity recruiting looks like from the inside
- Experienced leading recruiting teams — you are a multiplier, not just an individual operator
- Based in or able to relocate to San Francisco for an on-site role
- You know how to attract exceptional GTM and Engineering talent in competitive markets
- Commercially minded — you understand that every hire is a business decision
