Job Description:
As Head of Talent, you will scale BlueDot from 8 to 25+ people, hiring 20 exceptional individuals over the next year. This is a high-stakes strategy and sales role where you’ll outmaneuver tech giants to secure world-class researchers and operators who will shape the future of global safety and governance.

What you will do:

• Source relentlessly through cold outreach, events, and deep-network mapping to build a warm pipeline of 50+ elite candidates in Ashby.

• Own the end-to-end candidate experience, maintaining a ≥80% offer acceptance rate by persuasively pitching BlueDot’s mission over higher corporate compensation.

• Accelerate hiring velocity by reducing time-to-hire to under four weeks while ensuring every new hire compounds the company culture.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven track record of closing highly competitive candidates who had multiple offers from top-tier AI labs or well-funded Silicon Valley startups.

• Exceptional "taste" for talent, with the ability to identify high-agency, mission-aligned individuals who thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced startup environments.

• Creative sourcing expertise within the AI safety, governance, or EA ecosystems, or a demonstrated ability to master new talent landscapes rapidly.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
