Head Of Talent

HiveWatch is a tech-forward, inclusive organization fostering the evolution of the physical security industry. We are a diverse team of forward thinkers who empower each other to find creative and collaborative solutions in an industry ripe for modernization. We are passionate about the problems we're solving for our customers and equally passionate about the company we're building.

HiveWatch is here to help security teams pivot from chasing threats to preventing them. We protect organizations, people, and property through the intelligent orchestration of physical security programs. With better communication, more insights, and less "noise", we are modernizing what it means for businesses and their employees to truly feel safe.

We're looking for a Head Of Talent to build and scale our recruiting and people function from the ground up. As our dedicated talent leader, you'll be the architect of how we growowning end-to-end recruiting while simultaneously laying the foundation for people operations that will serve us well beyond 100 employees. This isn't just about filling seats; it's about shaping who we become as a company.

You'll split your time roughly 2 / 3 on talent acquisition (building pipelines, closing candidates, and partnering with hiring managers) and 1 / 3 on expanding the people operations infrastructure that we'll need to scale. Think : onboarding that doesn't feel chaotic, performance frameworks that actually drive growth, and an employee experience that makes people excited to join and stay.

You'll report directly to leadership and have significant autonomy to define what great looks like as we scale from 50 people.
