Founding Recruiter
TLDR
Own and scale the recruiting function from the ground up, partnering with founders to hire top technical and business talent and define process, culture, and candidate experience.
About Us
Conversion is the AI-native marketing automation platform for modern software companies. Our platform lets growth teams run their entire go-to-market motion in one place, from acquisition through retention, with AI agents doing the work that legacy tools like Marketo, HubSpot, and Pardot can't.
