Co-Founder & CEO - AI Native Recruiting Firm

The Opportunity

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Foundry, a pioneering AI-driven recruiting agency currently under development. This role is a partnership, offering significant founder equity rather than a traditional salaried position.

Market Context

Recruitment traditionally relies on charging a fixed percentage of a hire's first-year salary for manual work such as candidate sourcing, screening, and outreach. This model is outdated due to advancements in AI technology.

Foundry aims to revolutionize recruiting by deploying AI agents to automate sourcing, screening, and candidate evaluation, while a small human team focuses on relationship building, judgment calls, and final placements. This approach allows offering clients substantially lower fees without compromising quality.
