About MagicalMagical 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 RoleWe 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 DoOwn multiple requisitions across technical and business rolesPersonally source and engage high-quality passive candidatesBuild targeted sourcing strategies for priority searchesCreate candidate personas, talent maps, and search plans from scratchWrite, test, and iterate on outbound messagingTrack funnel metrics including reply rates, pass-through rates, interview conversion, offer conversion,

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. #J-18808-Ljbffr
