About Magical
Magical is building agentic AI for healthcare operations.
Healthcare is still powered by too much manual work: teams clicking through portals, moving data between systems, chasing claims, checking eligibility, and doing work that software should be able to do. Magical automates complex workflows across browser and desktop apps, even when APIs do not exist.
We help healthcare organizations move faster, reduce operational burden, and improve outcomes for patients.
We are growing quickly across engineering, product, deployment, sales, and operations. To support that growth, we need someone who can help build a repeatable recruiting engine — not just fill roles one at a time.

The Role
We are looking for a Founding Talent Partner to own sourcing and recruiting at Magical.
This is a hands-on role for someone who loves finding exceptional talent, especially passive candidates who are not actively looking. You should be the kind of recruiter who does not wait for inbound applicants, agencies, or hiring managers to hand you a list. You know how to build your own market map, craft your own messaging, test what is working, and turn ambiguous hiring needs into high-quality candidate pipelines.
The right person is not just a recruiter. They are a builder.
You will own multiple searches, partner closely with founders and hiring managers, and help create the recruiting motion that lets Magical scale. That means sourcing directly, writing outbound, tracking conversion, diagnosing bottlenecks, improving process, and holding a high bar for candidate quality.
This is a great role for someone who wants to take the next step toward talent leadership, but still wants to stay close to the work: sourcing, candidate development, hiring manager partnership, and closing.

What You’ll Do
Own multiple requisitions across technical and business roles

Personally source and engage high-quality passive candidates

Build targeted sourcing strategies for priority searches

Create candidate personas, talent maps, and search plans from scratch

Write, test, and iterate on outbound messaging

Track funnel metrics including reply rates, pass-through rates, interview conversion, offer conversion, and time to first qualified candidate

Diagnose where searches are breaking down and fix them quickly

Partner with hiring managers to define candidate profiles, calibrate quality,



and move candidates through the process

Create repeatable sourcing motions for roles we expect to hire again

Improve recruiting quality, speed, and consistency through data and iteration

Help reduce dependency on agencies by building strong internal pipeline generation

First 90 Days
By Day 30 You will have:
Built a strong understanding of Magical’s product, mission, and hiring priorities

Taken ownership of several active requisitions

Completed intake and calibration with hiring managers

Launched outbound sourcing for priority roles

Built initial target lists and candidate personas for key searches

Started tracking baseline funnel metrics

Identified early bottlenecks in sourcing, messaging, calibration, or process

By Day 60 You will have:
Built active candidate pipelines across multiple priority roles

Tested and improved sourcing messages based on reply and conversion data

Created transparent visibility into pipeline health, role by role

Advanced strong candidates into interview loops

Moved candidates into finalist or offer stage for priority reqs

Established a repeatable weekly recruiting rhythm with hiring managers

By Day 90 You will have:
Closed multiple strong hires or be in the final stages of closing them

Owned active reqs with clear pipeline plans and measurable progress

Built repeatable sourcing motions for priority role types

Improved funnel conversion through data-driven iteration

Reduced dependency on reactive sourcing or agency support

Earned trust as an autonomous recruiting partner who can spot problems, bring solutions, and raise the hiring bar

What We’re Looking For
5+ years of recruiting or talent acquisition experience, ideally in high-growth technology companies

Strong hands-on sourcing skills, especially for passive technical talent

Experience owning multiple reqs at once

Ability to build candidate personas and targeted sourcing strategies

Strong outbound recruiting ability,



including writing and testing candidate messaging

Comfort using data to manage pipeline health and improve conversion

Ability to test, learn, and iterate quickly

Strong hiring manager partnership skills

Clear written and verbal communication

High ownership, low ego, and strong operating cadence

Comfort working in ambiguity without needing heavy direction

Curiosity about AI, automation, and the future of work

A desire to grow into a broader talent leadership role while still staying close to the craft of recruiting

What Makes You Exceptional
You have sourced and closed hard-to-find technical talent

You know how to find candidates others miss

You can turn an unclear hiring need into a sharp search strategy

You can create outbound campaigns that drive strong positive reply rates

You use funnel data to diagnose and fix recruiting problems

You balance urgency with candidate quality

You are energized by fast iteration and continuous improvement

You are comfortable pushing back when the profile, process, or bar is unclear

You want to help build a company, not just work a set of reqs

How We Work
Magical is a builder-led company. We value people who are direct, thoughtful, ambitious, and deeply hands-on.
We move quickly and expect people to operate with autonomy. This role will work closely with founders and hiring managers, so we are looking for someone who is energized by ownership, speed, and accountability.
We are hybrid in Toronto, with an office near St. Lawrence Market. We encourage in-person collaboration, especially for cross-functional work, but we are not rigid about specific office days.

Why Join Magical
This is a chance to build the recruiting engine at a company with real traction, meaningful growth, and an important mission.
You will help Magical find and attract the people who will build the future of healthcare automation. This is not a role for someone who wants to manage vendors, wait for applicants, or run a passive process. It is for someone who loves sourcing, wants ownership, and wants to build a repeatable talent engine from the ground up.
If you are excellent at finding talent, data-driven by nature, energized by iteration, and excited to help build a company, we would love to meet you.
