Senior Business Recruiter

About the Company:

World is building a real human network designed to accelerate people in the age of AI. As bots and autonomous agents reshape the internet, people, institutions, and applications need a trusted way to confirm who is a real human while preserving privacy. Our products make this possible: the Orb verifies real people, World ID proves it privately, and World App enables and distributes the new applications made possible by this technology. Together, they form a new layer for AI internet.

We’re one of the fastest-growing networks in tech. More than 17 million people across 160 countries have verified with World ID, and we complete over 350,000 verifications each week. World App is already among the most used wallets globally. Developers are integrating World ID to build safer online experiences and create spaces where real people can participate, earn, and be recognized in ways AI simply can’t replicate.

World was founded in 2019 and launched globally in 2023. We are more than 400 people across hardware, software, AI, cryptography, mobile engineering, and global operations. Our teams come from OpenAI, Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Google, Stripe, Meta, Coinbase, Palantir and MIT Media Lab. We’re backed by leading investors, including a16z, Khosla Ventures, Bain Capital Crypto, Blockchain Capital, Variant, Tiger Global, and Coinbase Ventures, as well as prominent operators and founders across fintech and AI.

World has been featured on the cover of TIME Magazine, highlighted in Fast Company’s Next 5 in Fintech, and explored in a Bloomberg deep dive. The New York Times, Bankless and TechCrunch have all recognized our progress in identity, cryptography, AI, and global-scale hardware deployment. Our leadership is also named to the Time AI 100.

The People team is the engine behind World’s most important asset: its people. We build, support, and scale a global organization of exceptional talent. We design experiences that attract world-class builders and retain, recognize, reward, and enable them to do the best work of their lives.

We’re looking for a Senior Business Recruiter who thrives in high-velocity, high-ownership environments. This is an operator role. You’ll work directly with engineering leadership and the talent team to shape how we hire, influence what “great” looks like, and personally close the builders who will define our next chapter. This is an opportunity to build or train the recruiting muscle for a company scaling at startup speed with global reach. It will take creativity, judgment, and real drive.

• Partner deeply with hiring managers and execs to scope roles, design interview loops, and make data-driven trade-offs between speed and bar

• Own full-cycle recruiting across operations, marketing, legal, policy and finance, from outbound sourcing to close

• Build trust fast: influence hiring decisions, advise on structure, and push back when needed

• Act as a TFH/World ambassador and deliver an exceptional candidate experience every step of the way

• Drive experimentation with new sourcing channels, new outreach strategies, and new ways to tell our story

• Build and refine reporting in our ATS; use data to measure funnel health and drive accountability

• Participate in headcount planning and hiring forecasts

• Learn best practices from the team, and mentor and up-level others around you; model what “elite recruiting” looks like

• An experienced recruiter (6+ years) with a history of closing talent in fast-growing startups or scaleups

• Highly individual: you bring personal creativity and ownership to your searches

• Collaborative: you know how to influence, not just execute, and you build deep partnerships with hiring managers & your team

• A problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity and has a bias for action

• Data-driven: you use numbers and narrative to make better decisions

• Energized by pace, experimentation, and building from scratch

• Passionate about an exceptional candidate experience
