Product Manager — AI-Native Recruiting Platform

Hands-On Product Manager — AI-Native Recruiting Platform (HireHQ)

Build the AI operating system for recruiting.

HireHQ is building the next generation AI-native recruiting platform — one that eliminates manual recruiter workflows and replaces them with intelligent automation, AI copilots, and decision intelligence.

Traditional ATS platforms were built for record keeping.

HireHQ is building a recruiting operating system that helps companies find, evaluate, and hire the best talent faster.

We are looking for a highly hands-on Product Manager who can help design and ship this future.

This is not a traditional PM role. You won’t just write tickets and manage roadmaps.

You will:

• Prototype product ideas yourself
• Use AI tools to rapidly build concepts
• Work directly with engineers
• Drive automation across recruiting workflows
• Ship AI-native features quickly

If you like building products at the intersection of AI, automation, and recruiting, you’ll thrive here.

What You'll Work On

You’ll help build core capabilities of the HireHQ recruiting platform, including:

AI Candidate Discovery

• AI-powered candidate search
• Intelligent candidate matching
• Automated candidate enrichment
• Talent graph and candidate insights

AI Screening & Evaluation

• Resume and profile understanding
• AI candidate scoring and ranking
• Interview intelligence and summarization
• Automated screening workflows

Recruiter Copilots

• AI recruiter assistants
• Automated outreach generation
• Pipeline prioritization
• Smart next-action recommendations

Candidate Experience

• AI-powered communication
• Automated follow-ups
• Interview scheduling automation
• Candidate journey insights

Recruiting Automation

• Workflow orchestration across the hiring pipeline
• Intelligent routing and task automation
• AI-driven pipeline management
• Recruiter productivity tools

Our goal is simple:

Reduce manual recruiting work by 80% while improving hiring outcomes.

What You'll Actually Do

You will operate like a product builder.

Ship Products

• Own product areas end-to-end
• Work directly with engineers to design solutions
• Move from idea → prototype → shipped feature quickly

Prototype With AI

You’ll actively use tools like:

• Cursor
• GitHub Copilot
• Claude
• ChatGPT
• Figma

to rapidly create:

• product mockups
• workflows
• prototypes
• PRDs
• user stories
• experimentation plans

We expect PMs to use AI as a force multiplier, not just write docs.

Design AI-Native Workflows

You'll help design product systems that use:

• LLMs
• semantic search
• embeddings
• candidate matching
• summarization
• automation engines

to eliminate manual recruiting work.

Drive Automation

You will constantly ask:

"Why is a human doing this?"

Then build systems that automate it.

Work Extremely Closely With Engineering

You will collaborate daily with engineers to:

• shape product architecture
• refine technical tradeoffs
• ship features quickly
• iterate with real customer feedback

What We're Looking For

Experience

• 5+ years in product management
• Experience building recruiting or HR tech products

Examples include:

• Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
• Recruiting CRM platforms
• Candidate engagement tools
• Talent sourcing platforms
• Interview platforms
• Talent intelligence platforms

You deeply understand how recruiting actually works.

AI Product Thinking

You’ve helped build or design AI-enabled product capabilities, such as:

• candidate matching
• screening automation
• workflow automation
• recommendation systems
• AI copilots
• search and ranking systems

Builder Mindset

You like creating things, not just planning them.

You are comfortable:

• prototyping ideas
• creating workflows
• building product concepts independently
• using AI tools to accelerate execution

Comfort With Ambiguity

This is a startup environment.

You should enjoy:

• fast iteration
• unclear problems
• ownership
• shipping quickly

Strong Candidates Often

• Previously worked at HR tech or recruiting tech companies
• Have built ATS or recruiting workflow products
• Use AI tools daily for product development
• Think about automation and workflow intelligence
• Care deeply about shipping useful products quickly

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 3 months:

• Recruiters using HireHQ spend dramatically less time on manual tasks
• AI features automate key recruiting workflows
• Customers rely on AI insights to prioritize candidates
• Recruiters move from administrative work → strategic hiring

Why This Role Is Different

Most recruiting software was designed 15–20 years ago.

HireHQ is rebuilding recruiting software from the ground up using:

• AI agents
• workflow automation
• intelligent candidate matching
• recruiter copilots

This role is an opportunity to help build the AI operating system for hiring.
