About this role
Job Description <h2 style="font-size:20px;margin:38px 0 8px;font-weight:600;">Your mission</h2><p style="margin:14px 0;font-size:16px;">Build the team and the culture that lets Didit win. You'll own recruiting end to end — sourcing and closing the best talent in the world, wherever they are — and you'll own how it feels to work here once they arrive: onboarding, internal events, rituals, and the day-to-day culture of a fast-growing startup. This is the role that decides who joins us and why they stay. <strong style="font-weight:600;">You'll report directly to the CEO.</strong></p><h2 style="font-size:20px;margin:38px 0 8px;font-weight:600;">What you'll do</h2><ul style="margin:14px 0;padding-left:22px;"><li style="margin:8px 0;font-size:16px;"><strong style="font-weight:600;">Own recruiting end to end</strong> — define the role with the hiring manager, source actively, screen, coordinate the process, and close the offer.
