About this Founding Recruiter role at coreflow
About us
At coreflow, we're redefining entertainment with AI. We're one of the fastest-growing startups globally, serving 20 million users in our first year. We're an in-person company based in Sydney, Australia.
We're guided by a set of principles that are foundational to our work and drive every decision:
User-first: We build things that people want. We invest time to understand our users and focus on adding value instead of extracting value.
High agency, high ownership: We're responsible for the pieces we own, end-to-end. We own every mistake, figure out what went wrong, and fix it. We don't blame anyone or anything else.
Urgency: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We prioritize well, find ways to increase leverage, and move at an inspirational pace.
What you'll do
You'll be our first recruiter, owning hiring end-to-end as we scale from a small team to hundreds. You'll build the recruiting function from scratch — sourcing, process, employer brand, and the systems that let us hire exceptional people fast.
Example projects
Own full-cycle hiring for our hardest roles — sourcing, screening, and closing senior engineers against A$400–800K offers.
Build our sourcing engine and talent pipeline from zero, plus the process and tooling (ATS, scorecards, structured interviews) that keep quality high as we scale.
Shape our employer brand and candidate experience so everyone who talks to us walks away impressed.
What you'll bring
5+ years of full-cycle recruiting, ideally including technical hiring at a high-growth company.
A proven sourcing engine — you find and close exceptional people others can't reach, without relying on inbound.
The ability to get shit done end-to-end. From understanding the hiring need → sourcing → closing → improving the process.
Hunger to win. This is not going to be easy.
What we offer
Competitive compensation with meaningful upside.
A company card for food, coffee, tools, and anything that helps you operate at a high level.
Daily team lunch and dinner at the office.
Unlimited workspace budget. Build your ideal setup.
Real ownership and impact from day one.
Based in Sydney and hiring globally. We sponsor visas and offer relocation assistance to help you make the move.
How we think about comp
Our overarching philosophy is to raise the ceiling for our best performers, not the floor. We pay based on the value you add to the company.
The range listed for this role is total comp: cash plus equity combined, with superannuation paid on top.
We re-evaluate compensation every 6 months. Bonuses are backward-looking; raises are forward-looking.
A bonus rewards work you've already done, like exceptional output or consistently performing above your level.
A raise reflects that you've moved up. It resets your baseline to match the higher level you're now operating at.
Our interview process
A quick phone call to learn about you and share more about our company.
A working session on how you'd build our recruiting function and source for a hard role — no gotchas, just the craft.
A paid work trial, so you get a feel for what it's like to work with us.
You get an offer, and we celebrate!
