Senior Recruiter, Research

The Mission: Engineering Elite Teams

GiveWell is looking for a Senior Recruiter to revolutionize how they identify the world's most effective researchers. This isn't standard talent acquisition; you are hunting for rare polymaths—from economists to neuroscientists—capable of directing hundreds of millions of dollars in life-saving grants. You will oversee the entire hiring lifecycle, refining a process where the bar for excellence is so high that only 0.1% of candidates receive an offer.

Vibe Coding & Analytical Rigor

This role is a unique playground for 'vibe coders.' GiveWell specifically looks for recruiters who can build their own technical solutions and data models using AI-assisted development tools. You will be expected to:

• Develop custom heuristics and sourcing tools via natural language prompting.
• Run rigorous A/B tests on hiring funnels to eliminate bias and noise.
• Construct and manage data architectures to track candidate success metrics.
• Collaborate with executive leadership to refine assessment strategies through quantitative evidence.

Growth & Global Impact

As the organization expands its reach, you will play a pivotal role in scaling a world-class research team. Your growth is tied to the real-world impact of your hires, with clear pathways into strategic leadership and talent operations. This is a high-agency, remote-friendly position for those who prefer evidence-based decision-making over corporate jargon and automated efficiency over manual busywork.
