About Job Sr. Recruiter, AI Research & Leadership Redmond, WA  · Talent Acquisition: Individual contributor  Reports to:  VP of Global Talent Acquisition Work model:  Hybrid, onsite 3 days per week This role can be based in Redmond, WA or Palo Alto, CA.   About the role The people you will be hiring already hear from frontier labs and the largest technology companies every week.   Centific is building a centralized talent acquisition function for the first time, and this is one of the first roles in it. You will own our hardest and most visible hires from first conversation to signed offer: researchers at every level, from early-career to distinguished, AI architects, and the leaders above them, across our Redmond and Palo Alto sites.   You will be the person who can tell an executive how many people actually match the profile they just described, how many of those would take a call, and what it would take to get one to say yes. Sometimes the answer is that the person exists but is rarer, more expensive, or harder to move than the plan assumed, and something has to flex: the role design, the level, the money, or the story. We want to hear that, with the evidence behind it.   There is no playbook here yet, and you will help write it. Who we are The real world is complex, nuanced, and human. For AI to understand it, the data it learns from has to carry more than information: context, culture, judgment, and the harder-to-name sense of taste that tells a person what actually fits. That is what Centific builds. The data, the human feedback, the benchmarks and evaluation systems that let AI learn from the real world and be tested against it, across languages, domains, and modalities.   Our research organization is where that gets pushed forward.
