Talent Acquisition (Technical Recruiter)

Back to jobs Talent Acquisition (Technical Recruiter) Singapore Apply What is Liminal? Liminal is a Founders' Studio headquartered in Singapore and Boston. We co-build with topflight founders by providing build expertise, unfair access and funding to de-risk their journey from idea to Series B and beyond. What is this role, really? This is not a traditional recruiter role. As Talent Acquisition (Technical Recruiter), you are a co-builder of founding teams. You help founders assemble exceptional crews that determine whether a venture breaks through - or breaks down. You will work closely with founders and build leaders to identify, court, and close key tech talent at the moments when timing, trust, and judgment matter most. At the same time, you will play an active role in shaping and reinforcing our culture. You are equal parts researcher, advisor, closer, and steward of Liminal’s culture and reputation. What you’ll do: Own technology talent builds: Lead full-cycle hiring for Liminal and our ventures, shaping early-stage Product and Engineering teams in ambiguous, zero-to-one contexts. Operate as a talent advisor, not an order-taker: Collaborate closely with founders and build leaders to shape role definitions and hiring strategy. Research and map the market to identify top talent. Challenge assumptions, adapt strategies, and ensure the right fit for each role. Source creatively: Use unconventional approaches to develop strong pipelines and build trusted networks of tech talent across geographies. Design and evolve our hiring craft: Define interview structures, assessment standards, and offer philosophy as we scale. Represent Liminal with care and clarity: Deliver a candidate experience that reflects who we are: respectful, precise, human, and founder-centric - even when the answer is “not now.” Shape and reinforce Liminal’s culture: Go beyond filling roles, ensuring every touchpoint is consistent with who we are at Liminal: high ownership and low ego. You’ll thrive here if you: Hired exceptional technical talent (engineering, data, AI/ML, or product) in early-stage, high-impact environments, ideally in 0-1 contexts. Bring sharp research instincts to map talent markets, identify gaps and assess compensation dynamics. Influence founders and leaders with confidence, clarity and good judgment. Make smart calls with incomplete information - when there’s no playbook, you write one! Prioritize quality, discretion, and long-term relationships over speed for speed’s sake Proficient with ATS and modern recruitment platforms Nice to have Experience in executive search, talent strategy, or founder-facing advisory roles Exposure to hiring globally across multiple geographies and time zones, including the Americas and Greater China A point of view on what great early-stage teams actually look like Why join Liminal? Because talent is not a support function here - it’s a strategic weapon. Because you’ll work with founders who have built before, and are building again - with everything on the line. Because you’re not here to fill roles. You’re here to shape teams that shape companies.
