About Dust
==============
Work is being rewritten, and the people holding the pen are the ones who actually run it.
With enterprise-grade governance, flexible model choice, and a collaborative interface for humans and agents to work together, Dust empowers AI Operators at the world’s fastest-moving companies to rewire how work gets done.
With 70%+ weekly active users, people stick with Dust as much as they do with Slack and Notion. We don't get piloted and shelved. We land once, and spread. We're at an exciting stage of our journey, and growing fast.
We're serving [great customers](https://dust.tt/customers) like Datadog, 1Password, Cursor, Clay, Vanta and Persona, and aim to x5 our growth by the end of 2026.
Dust is backed by [Sequoia](https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/27/dust-grabs-another-16-million-for-its-enterprise-ai-assistants-connected-to-internal-data/) with a determined team of optimists (coming from Stripe, OpenAI, and Stanford) who like to focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously while doing so. The Generalist [named us among the Future 50](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dust-tt_were-honored-to-be-recognized-on-the-generalists-activity-7359284343929741313-Rq04).
Why this role exists
========================
We are about to hire the people who will define the next phase of this company. Not backfill a plan someone else wrote — define it. The quality of who joins Dust over the next eighteen months is the single highest-leverage variable in whether we build the category or watch someone else do it.
That work needs a recruiter who treats hiring as a craft rather than a queue. Someone who can hold a real point of view on what "great" looks like for a role, defend it with a hiring manager who disagrees, and then go find that person themselves — from a cold start, without a lead gen team, a sourcing pod, or a playbook waiting for them.
You'll be an early member of a small Talent team. That means you own roles end to end, and you also help build the thing itself: the assessment design, the interview loops, the calibration, the data we use to know whether any of it is working.
We're looking for someone who cares about the candidate experience for all parties internal and external. And prioritizes protecting Dust's culture by being thoughtful, thorough and leading by example in being a true team player.
What you'll own
===================
Full-cycle hiring, end to end. You run your own searches from role kickoff to close. Sourcing, outreach, screening, interviewing, offer strategy, negotiation. You are the owner of the outcome, not a coordinator of other people's opinions.
Assessment design, not just assessment delivery. For every role you open, you help define what evidence would actually predict success — then you build the loop that surfaces it. You'll push back on interview stages that exist out of habit and replace them with ones that test something real.
Hiring manager partnership with a spine. You'll spend as much time calibrating hiring managers as you do talking to candidates. When a manager says "not quite the right feel," you'll ask what they mean until there's a defensible answer, and you'll say so when there isn't one.
Market intelligence. You'll know your talent market better than anyone else in the building — who's good, where they are, what moves them, what compensation actually looks like right now — and you'll...
