Co-Founder & CEO - AI Native Recruiting Firm
The Opportunity
FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Foundry, an AI-Native Recruiting Agency currently in build at FutureSight. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.
Recruiting has run on the same model for decades: firms charge a fixed percentage of a hire's first-year salary for work that is largely manual, sourcing, screening, and outreach done one candidate at a time. That pricing made sense when the work required a person doing it by hand. It doesn't anymore.
Market Context
Foundry is an AI-native recruiting firm built around a simple idea: use AI agents to handle sourcing, screening, and candidate evaluation, and keep a small human team focused on what still requires a person: building trust with clients and candidates, exercising judgment on close calls, and closing the placement. That shift in who does the work lets us offer clients a fee that's a fraction of what traditional firms charge, without cutting corners on quality.
This is where we believe recruiting is headed. AI-native service firms are starting to emerge and prove the model works, and we're building toward that shift deliberately.
