About Hyphenate

Hyphenate (formerly Maximor.ai) is a New York-based startup, founded in 2023 by former Microsoft executives, building AI agents that automate finance and accounting workflows for mid-market and enterprise companies. The platform connects directly to ERP, CRM, billing, payroll, and banking systems to handle tasks like revenue recognition, accounts payable, and reconciliation — replacing the manual, Excel-driven work that has traditionally bogged down finance teams during month-end close. Hyphenate has raised $9M in seed funding led by Foundation Capital, with participation from Gaia Ventures, Boldcap, and others.

About the Role

Hyphenate is hiring an India-based Technical Recruiter to own outbound sourcing and closing for U.S. software engineering and technical roles. This is a hands-on, outbound-first sourcing role for someone who has already closed engineering hires for a U.S. product company and is comfortable running cold outreach at volume.

Work Schedule & Hours

This is a remote role based in India that supports a U.S. hiring team. Please note the following before applying:

6-day work week. The role operates on a six-day schedule (Monday through Saturday).
Late India-time hours. Working hours are shifted later in the day (IST) to provide meaningful overlap with U.S. business hours for candidate calls, hiring-team syncs, and scheduling.
Flexibility on both sides. Exact hours will be agreed with the Head of Talent and may flex around candidate availability across U.S. time zones.

Key Responsibilities

Own end-to-end sourcing and outbound recruitment for U.S.-based software engineering and technical roles.
Design and run outbound campaigns — cold email sequences and cold calling — to build qualified candidate pipelines.
Use AI-enabled sourcing tools to identify, enrich, and prioritize candidate lists.
Manage candidate communication end-to-end: outreach, screening, scheduling, and pipeline updates.
Partner closely with the hiring team to refine sourcing criteria based on candidate quality and market feedback.

Required Experience

2–4 years of full-cycle recruiting experience at a fast-growing, U.S.-based startup (seed through Series B).
Startup experience must be from a product company — SaaS, AI agents, or enterprise software. E-commerce and non-product companies do not qualify.
Track record of having sourced and closed multiple U.S.-based software engineering roles — this is a minimum bar, not a nice-to-have.
Strong, demonstrated experience with outbound recruitment: cold email campaigns and cold calling. Inbound recruiting experience is a plus but not required.
Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
Comfortable using AI tools as part of the day-to-day sourcing workflow.
Able to commit to a 6-day work week with late India-time hours aligned to U.S. business hours.
Consistent, stable work history — frequent unexplained employment gaps will not meet the bar.

Preferred / Nice to Have

Familiarity with modern AI-powered sourcing platforms such as Juicebox or MetaView.
Experience with sourcing/outreach tools commonly used for U.S. technical hiring, such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Gem, hireEZ (formerly Hiretual), SeekOut, GitHub (with tools like Octohunt), and Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent).

Compensation & Benefits

Very competitive pay. Compensation benchmarked well above market for the role and experience level.
Performance-based bonus. Additional earnings tied to hiring outcomes and pipeline quality.

Hiring Process

Round 1 — Screening: Introductory conversation with the Hyphenate Head of Talent.
Round 2 — Task: A short take-home exercise (a few hours) to assess sourcing approach and output.
Round 3 — Paid Work Trial: Successful candidates move to a one-week, paid work trial using Hyphenate's own tools and live requisitions.
Final Round: A closing conversation with Hyphenate leadership.
