This is a true 0→1 recruiting role. You'll build the team that builds Forgepoint. You'll own full-cycle recruiting across engineering and go-to-market: sourcing, pipeline, candidate experience, and close. You'll be hands-on and high-volume, and you'll set the bar for how we hire as we scale from a small founding team to many.
You'll work directly with the founders and hiring managers to define what "great" looks like for each role, run a fast and thoughtful process, and give every candidate an experience that reflects how much we care about the team. This is a seat for a builder who wants to shape a company through the people they bring in.
Partner with founders and hiring managers to define scorecards, ideal profiles, and a rigorous interview process for every open role.
Build targeted pipelines for engineering and GTM roles through creative sourcing, referrals, communities, and highly personalized outreach.
Own the candidate journey end-to-end, from first contact and screening through interviews, references, offer, and close.
Assess candidates against role outcomes and values, synthesize evidence clearly, and continually calibrate the hiring bar with the team.
Run a fast, thoughtful process with excellent communication, tight scheduling, and a candidate experience that reflects how Forgepoint operates.
Instrument the recruiting funnel, forecast hiring progress, find bottlenecks, and build repeatable systems that help the team scale.

About Forgepoint
Revitalize an industry. Rebuild America's manufacturing backbone.
America builds satellites, jet engines, and semiconductors with world-class precision, but the software running factory offices is decades behind. Estimators, procurement teams, and accountants still lose hours to spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual data entry.
Forgepoint builds AI workers for back office departments like quoting, purchasing, invoicing, and sales coordination. By removing back-office bottlenecks, we help US manufacturers move faster, grow, and compete globally.
