We believe no one should be a stranger just because they speak a different language. That's why we're building real-time translation for real-world conversations, so two people with no shared language can talk as easily as old friends.

It sounds like it should already exist. It doesn't. ✨🌍

We're a small, well-funded team in central London, backed by people who built the tech already in your pocket. We're right at the start, and no one has built this before. 🚀

The Role

You’ll own hiring at Glot. We are hiring engineers, AI researchers and business roles at the same time, and we assess everyone against the same qualities.

This is a hiring role, not an HR role: contracts, policies and compliance sit with a separate part of the company.

Examples of what you'll do

Sourcing: find candidates on LinkedIn and through our networks, and write outreach that gets replies.

Screening: run first calls and make the call: who moves forward, who doesn’t, and why.

Pipeline: own Ashby, keep every candidate moving within a week, schedule interviews, chase feedback, close loops.

Recruiters: brief and manage the agencies we use, hold them to the same criteria, and reduce our dependence on them.

Judgement: compare what profiles looked like at screen with how candidates performed later, and sharpen what we look for.

What we're looking for

A reader of people. You can tell the difference between a polished profile and a builder, and you can explain why.

Sharp and direct. You write plainly, ask good questions, and get to the point.

A builder. You’ve set up or improved a hiring process yourself.

Experience. 2–4 years in recruiting (including technical roles), or an ops role where you ran hiring.

Right to work in the UK. You must already have it; we're open to sponsoring a visa after a successful probation.

What you'll get

Equity: meaningful equity as an early employee.

Holidays: 25 days' annual leave, plus UK bank holidays.

Benefits: workplace pension, private medical insurance, plus unlimited snacks and drinks in the office.

Growth: own hiring from day one, and more functions as the company grows.

Hiring Process

The hiring process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks:

A 30-minute introductory call

A 60-minute call with Founder

A short take-home exercise, followed by a 60-minute in-person working session

Looking forward to meeting you.
