On-site
At Wispr Flow, we're building voice intelligence that truly understands you. Our team of designers, AI researchers, and engineers is crafting voice interfaces that are both useful and ubiquitous, paving the way for a future where voice-first experiences replace screen-first technologies.
Our first product, Wispr Flow, has become the first consumer voice dictation platform to break the keyboard barrier: making people use voice more than their keyboards.
As a founding recruiter at Wispr, you will be responsible for taking the team from 21 people to 45 by the end of the year, and continuing to grow it rapidly as the company grows. Reporting directly to one of our cofounders, you will partner closely with senior leaders and run critical searches across functions (engineering, product design, marketing, etc.).
Our values
- High agency: Take initiative to solve problems that you see. We make decisions quickly, and disagree and commit to move forward as a team.
- Open communication: Lean into debate, discussion, and uncomfortable conversations. We maintain integrity and say the things that are hard to say because we trust one another and assume other people have good intentions.
- User obsessed: Design technology that makes people's experience more natural and seamless. We really care about building an exceptional user experience.
- Detail-focused: Exceptional outcomes come from exceptional attention to detail - down to every interaction and every pixel.
