About Finch

-----------

We believe every American household deserves access to counsel in life’s biggest moments. At Finch, we’re building the infrastructure to make justice radically more accessible. Our modern approach to consumer law automates the admin work and puts clients first, starting with personal injury.

Since launching in April, we’ve grown 10x and are now powering pre-litigation for top law firms across the country. We combine expert operators with purpose-built AI to handle intake, claim opening, medical records, police reports, lien management, demands, and everything in between.

We’re backed by Sequoia, Redpoint, and the founders & CEOs of generational companies like DoorDash, Ironclad, and Digits. We’re rebuilding how the law serves everyday Americans from first principles, and we’re hiring exceptional operators to help us scale it nationwide.

This Role

---------

We’re hiring a Founding Recruiter to build the hiring engine behind Finch. This is our first recruiting hire, and it comes at a moment of fast, high-stakes growth. You’ll work directly with the CEO and founding team to source, evaluate, and close top talent across product, engineering, legal ops, growth, and strategy. You’ll also define the foundations of how we hire — narratives, processes, systems, and rituals — so that every new teammate levels up the company.

You’ll Lead Initiatives Like:

-----------------------------

• Driving full-cycle recruiting across technical, operational, and GTM roles
• Leading top of funnel sourcing for legal operations staff as we brace for scale
• Partnering with founders on org design, headcount planning, and hiring bar calibration
• Creating scalable systems for sourcing, interviewing, and closing top candidates
• Designing a distinctive candidate experience that reflects our culture and values
• Owning our employer brand, pitch, and messaging across channels
• Building structure with the tools we have now (e.g., Notion, Google Sheets) and evolving our stack as we grow

This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who wants to shape not just who joins Finch, but how the company is built.

You Might Be a Fit if You:

--------------------------

• Have 3–6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a fast-growing startup
• Have hired across technical and non-technical roles with both speed and quality
• Are a compelling communicator and confident closer who can win the best candidates
• Are deeply organized and can juggle multiple searches with clarity and precision
• Have experience building from scratch and love creating systems that scale
• Care about mission, bar, and long-term impact

Compensation

------------

$130,000 - $180,000 annual salary + generous equity

Additional benefits include:

----------------------------

• 100% coverage for health, dental, and vision
• In-office snacks, drinks, and daily team dinners
• Flexible PTO (we trust you to take the time you need)

At Finch Legal, we believe in practicing what we advocate.

----------------------------------------------------------

As a firm dedicated to upholding justice and protecting people in the workplace, we are equally committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment within our own walls.

We recognize that diversity strengthens our team, enriches our perspectives, and empowers us to better serve our clients and communities. At Finch Legal, inclusion isn’t just a value — it’s a practice.
