Talent Acquisition Specialist

The posting, as Thesis wrote it

About Us

The human brain is the most complex object in the universe, yet society had accepted one-size-fits all approaches to cognition. The “solutions” (think coffee, energy drinks, and even a friend’s rx) were mediocre at best and frankly, made no sense to us. So, we created Thesis, the world’s first customized nootropics company. If you’ve never heard that word before, it’s just a fancy way of saying brain supplements. In five years, most will be taking nootropics on the daily and chances are, they’ll be ours.

With an exceptional efficacy rate, the world has taken notice — we’ve raised over $14M in venture capital, garnered interest from leading neuroscientists and athletes, and established ourselves as the industry’s leading brand. Now, we’re looking for incredible people to help us share the gift of enhanced cognitive function with the world. If you’re looking to be a part of a movement — one that involves both immense self-growth and an ambitious mission to pioneer an industry — we’d love to have you on the team.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist who knows how to find great people, keep hiring moving, and use AI to make the People team more effective. Recruiting is the core of this role, with hands-on support across HR, employee engagement and events, and office management.

You’ll partner closely with the VP of People and hiring managers to turn business needs into strong candidate pipelines and thoughtful hiring decisions. Beyond recruiting, you’ll help new hires get off to a great start, bring the team together, and keep our New York office running smoothly.

AI is a central part of the job. We want someone who already uses tools like ChatGPT or Claude, experiments with better workflows, and can show how their work improves as a result. You’ll have room to build practical automations, take ownership, and grow across the People function.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Conduct thoughtful candidate screens, coordinate interviews, and drive timely feedback and follow-through from hiring teams.
• Deliver a responsive, personal candidate experience. Keep candidates informed and help communicate why the opportunity is right for them.
• Keep Greenhouse accurate and use funnel conversion, source quality, time in stage, and offer acceptance data to identify bottlenecks and improve hiring.
