Job Details

SLAY, founded in December 2022, has swiftly made its mark in the mobile world. The company developed 5 apps and games that reached the #1 spot in the App Store across 3 continents.

Backed by some of the world's most esteemed investors, including Accel, Kevin Weil, Riccardo Zacconi, Scott Belsky, and Ilkka Paananen, SLAY is rapidly growing and reaching millions of users.

Our mission is to create digital life through AI and become the leading company for virtual friends that live, grow and evolve like humans—starting with Pengu. Pengu has become the biggest AI character app with its own IP in the US and Europe.

Tasks

Hire top-tier engineering talent. Our focus is on Eastern Europe (Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia)
Volume & Numbers Game: Recruiting is a high-volume sport. You fill the pipeline every single day — hundreds of leads, constant outreach, no dry days.
Source Relentlessly: You’re on LinkedIn, GitHub, niche platforms, referrals — anywhere top talent hides. You know how to find people, chase them, and win their attention.
Chase & Close: You follow up like a machine — triple-text, call, DM, repeat. You handle objections, push through silence, and keep closing.
Culture Fit Focus: You don’t just look at resumes — you screen hard for culture. We don’t compromise. Only people who match our values, pace, and ambition make it in.
Professionalism at the Core: You represent us with sharp, clear, polished communication. Candidates walk away impressed, even if we say no.
High Urgency: Move lightning fast. Smash timelines. Deliver results today, not next week.
Mission-Driven Mindset: You’re here because “Becoming the leading company for virtual characters” excites you deeply. This is more than just a recruiting job — you want to help shape the future.

Requirements

Location: Remote

We hire top-tier, period. We’d rather have one killer recruiter at an above-market salary than a whole room of average. You know how to spot, win, and close the best engineering talent in the world.

Languages:

English: Absolute must — fluent, sharp, persuasive.
Russian or Ukrainian: Big plus — we love cross-market reach.

Drive: You’re wired to win. Recruiting isn’t a “job” — it’s your craft, your mission. You’re ready to put in 50+ hour weeks, chase top talent across time zones, and live and breathe our vision.

Grind: Midnight texts? Early-morning calls? Weekend outreach? Yes. You do what it takes to close the hire.

Urgency: Turn weeks into days, days into hours. Smash through roadblocks. Respond instantly, not eventually.

Relentless: Follow up 10x a day if needed. Triple-text, double-call, push hard. Ghosting? Not on your watch.
