LeadRecruiter

## Description About Us Avante is on a mission to transform how self-funded employers manage their benefits and HR operations. Our AI-powered SaaS platform helps employers shift from reactive firefighting to strategic planning, while providing employees with the guidance they need to truly understand and maximize their benefits. Employee benefits represent the second-largest expense for most businesses, yet the landscape is fragmented, complex, and difficult to navigate. Avante unifies fragmented benefits data and provides AI-driven insights that help employers control costs while delivering an exceptional employee experience. We are based in Seattle with an in-office culture (4 days a week) to drive community, collaboration, and ideation. ## The Role We are hiring our first in-house recruiter at the inflection point where hiring stops being something that the founding team can absorb part-time. The next twelve months are the most active hiring stretch in Avante's history, and the person in this seat will set the bar for every hire that follows. In any given month you will be running a variety of key searches across engineering, GTM, operations and customer-facing roles. None of these searches look the same. The expectation is that you can run all of them at once, either directly or via oversight of external recruiting partners. This role owns the entire recruiting machine end-to-end. You will not be a coordinator with a sourcer title. You will sit in the room when we decide what bar we're hiring against, push back on hiring managers when their calibration drifts, and own the offer conversation when it's hard. Recruiting at Avante is a senior operator job, and we're going to treat it like one. You will also be the first recruiter in the building who has to figure out what hiring looks like when the company is itself an AI agent platform. We expect you to use the same tools we build, push us on which steps of the funnel should be agents instead of people, and have an
