About the company
At Perplexity AI, we are building products that push the boundaries of how people find, reason, and learn information. The scale and speed of our mission demand a team that thrives in environments of rapid iteration and constant discovery.
Responsibilities
- Full-cycle recruitment for engineering and research roles across EMEA Search, AI and Infrastructure
- Build outbound first pipelines: advanced research, talent mapping across frontier labs and academia, referrals, AI-assisted automation, and creative outreach
- Partner with hiring managers and engineers to calibrate profiles with accuracy and nuance, and to sharpen the bar as our teams evolve
- Act as a candidate's first introduction to Perplexity, telling an authentic and compelling story about our mission, product, and culture
- Track and analyze pipeline data to continuously improve sourcing strategy, and build your own tooling where off-the-shelf falls short
- Operate with agility as priorities shift hard-to-fill roles, new pillars, and compressed timelines are the norm
Requirements
- 4 years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience
- A sourcing-first track record: you fill hard roles through outbound and talent mapping
- Strong technical literacy comfortable, holding credible conversations with senior engineers
- A builder's instinct for AI: eager to adopt new tools, automate your own workflow, and experiment with how AI can make recruiting faster and sharper
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with candidates, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners
- A mindset that thrives on curiosity, iteration, and impact, aligned with Perplexity's ethos of building what has never been built before
