Senior Talent Acquisition Partner

Hi, We’re Franki
Franki is an AI-powered startup transforming how people discover and choose where to eat, drink, and explore. Our platform is built on video recommendations from a passionate community of creators and dining enthusiasts who help people find the best experiences in their area.
We’re a fast-moving, high-ownership team that values creativity and execution. The category is dynamic and fun, and we're building a brand that reflects that energy. If you're the kind of person who has strong ideas and makes them happen, we’d love to hear from you.
Franki is looking for a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to build our in-house recruiting capability from the ground up and reduce our dependency on external agencies. This is a high-impact, build-it-yourself role responsible for full-cycle hiring across every function, while also partnering with our Head of People Operations to shape how we develop and retain the people we bring in.
We need a hunter: someone who proactively sources on LinkedIn, Indeed, and other channels, builds pipeline before a role even opens, and shows up at industry events and recruiting fairs to grow our network. If you treat recruiting like a sales pipeline, outbound-first, relationship-driven, metrics-obsessed, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
Lead end-to-end recruitment across all functions: sourcing, interviewing, and hiring
Proactively hunt for talent through outbound sourcing on LinkedIn, Indeed, and other platforms
Represent Franki at industry conferences, sales events, and recruiting fairs to network and build a pipeline of passive candidates
Partner with leaders to forecast talent needs, define roles, and craft hiring plans
Own and maintain our careers page, employer brand content, and LinkedIn company presence
Manage the recruitment process using data: time-to-fill, cost-per-hire, quality of hire, and sourced-to-hire ratio
Select and manage external agency partners only when needed, maintaining control of costs
Ensure hiring and onboarding documentation (I-9, E-Verify, offer letters, background checks) is accurate, complete, and legally compliant
Partner with the Head of People Operations to build an internal talent framework: career pathing, succession planning, onboarding, and manager capability in interviewing and talent conversations
Build dashboards combining recruitment and retention data and present insights to leadership
