Senior Recruiter

I'm hiring a Senior Recruiter for my team at Microsoft AI. This is a 360 role reporting to me, based in London 3 days/week. Please note this is not a generalist AI/ML Recruiter role, I'm prioritising candidates with proven experience in frontier environments. If this is you, feel free to reach out 😁 (no agencies). My team are deeply embedded across the MAI ecosystem covering pre/post-training, multimodal, data, AI infra, health AI, futures +more. We build the mission critical squads that ship SOTA models at the frontier. We balance our operation with urgency and patience. We're a small team of true advisors and strategic partners that deliver incredible outcomes with autonomy. We provide exceptional experiences to our leaders, hiring managers and candidates and never sacrifice quality. No hierarchy. MAI is Microsoft's frontier AI lab. Recently MAI has shipped several models that have reached #1 in the world on LMArena (IYKYK). We compete directly with OAI, Anthropic and GDM to name a few, to build foundational models and of course for talent. Ideal profile: - Experience working in a frontier lab/company, hiring extremely sought after AI Research and Engineering talent - Experience managing VP+ client groups (ideally within Research and/or Engineering). Think global visionaries, co-founder/founder and first-time managers - Experience building and executing complex hiring strategies in order to attract top talent (scholar/GitHub is not complex) - Able to craft bespoke closing strategies - Ability to have technical conversations with candidates and client group - Experience with different local EU Labour laws and compliance. Worked hand in hand with HRBPs - Solid track record of executing, unblocking and working with ambiguity - 0-1 building - Networking and community building is part of your weekly workflow
