Recruiter / People Operations

LiveX AI builds the human–AI interface for the physical world. Our 4K full-body AI agents greet, guide, and sell in retail flagships, hotels, hospitals, airports, convention centers, and stadiums — on-prem or in the cloud, in 140 languages.

We are growing across engineering, solutions, go-to-market, and operations, and the pace of hiring has outgrown what the founders can run on the side.

This is our first dedicated people hire, and it is an early-stage job: no HR team behind you, no inherited process. You will own full-cycle recruiting for every open role at LiveX, and you will own the employee experience from offer acceptance through the first 90 days — and, when the time comes, a clean exit. Roughly 70% recruiting, 30% onboarding and offboarding. You report directly to the CEO and work with every hiring manager in the company. As the team grows, this role is the natural path to Head of People.

Recruiting (primary)

• Run full-cycle recruiting across engineering (AI/ML, full-stack, hardware and edge), solution engineering, sales and GTM, and operations: role intake with the hiring manager, job post, sourcing, screening, scheduling, debriefs, offer, and close.
• Build pipeline proactively — sourcing tools, referrals, university and new-grad channels, AI and robotics communities, and the events we attend (NVIDIA GTC and similar). Do not wait for inbound.
• Run a fast, candidate-friendly process: structured interviews, scorecards, same-week feedback, and a weekly pipeline report to the founders.
• Stand up and maintain our applicant tracking system and the hiring metrics that matter: time-to-fill, pass-through rates, offer-accept rate, cost per hire.
• Manage agency and contract recruiters when we use them — negotiate terms, hold them to quality, and keep spend in check.
• Partner with the founders on offers: leveling, base, commission and equity framing, and closing conversations with candidates who have competing offers.

Onboarding & Offboarding

• Own the experience from signed offer to day 90: offer-letter execution, background checks, I-9 / E-Verify, new-hire paperwork, equipment and account setup with engineering, first-week schedule, and 30/60/90-day check-ins.
• Keep the onboarding guide current and make sure every new hire is in payroll, benefits, and the cap table correctly on day one.
• Coordinate visa-related onboarding with outside immigration counsel (H-1B, OPT / STEM OPT, TN): document collection, timelines, and employee communication — counsel handles the legal work.
• Run clean offboarding: exit checklist, equipment and access recovery, final-pay timing under California rules, exit interviews, and complete documentation.
• Maintain accurate, compliant personnel files, and be the go-to for employee questions about paperwork, benefits enrollment, and company policies.

• 3–6 years of full-cycle recruiting, including in-house at an early-stage startup (seed to Series B, under ~50 people). You have hired software engineers and salespeople, not just one or the other.
• Hands-on experience running onboarding and offboarding end to end, including I-9 and new-hire compliance for California employees.
• Real sourcing muscle. You are comfortable cold-reaching a senior ML engineer or an enterprise account executive and getting a reply.
• Organized and systems-minded: you build the process rather than inherit it, and you keep an ATS and personnel records clean without being asked.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — for many candidates you are the first impression of LiveX.
• Discretion with confidential information: compensation, equity, immigration, and personnel matters.
• Early-startup operator mindset: no HR department behind you, no playbook to inherit — you build it, you run it, and you close the gaps yourself.
• Able to work on-site in Palo Alto.

• Recruited for AI / ML, robotics, computer vision, or hardware roles.
• Hands-on with a modern ATS, HRIS / payroll platform, and cap-table software.
• Worked with immigration counsel on employment visa cases.

Every LiveX deployment — a retail flagship, a hotel lobby, an airport — is built and shipped by people this role brings in and sets up to succeed. The quality and speed of our hiring is the quality and speed of the company. You will build the hiring machine and the first-90-days experience from the ground up, with a direct line to the CEO and a clear path to leading the People function as we scale.

Base salary range: $110,000 – $150,000 per year, plus equity and benefits. Placement within the range depends on experience and skills. This range is provided in accordance with California pay transparency requirements.
