ABOUT TENEX The Fortune 500 is rebuilding itself right now. Every company over a billion in revenue is asking the same question: what does it mean to run this business if AI does half the work in five years? Most don't know how to answer. That's why they call us. Tenex is the partner ambitious companies hire when the stakes are too high to get AI wrong. We embed elite teams directly into their operations, find the bets that actually move the business, and ship the work that makes them AI-native. The clients are sharp. The problems are unforgiving. The work has to land. We get to do this work alongside the people building the frontier. Anthropic and OpenAI are formal partners, and we sit in the room with their Applied AI teams on real client problems. Vercel, Lovable, and a growing list of the most important companies in AI are partners too. We were the partner Anthropic named on the Claude for Small Business launch https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-small-business, delivering AI fluency training across various US cities, and workflows we built ship inside Claude for Small Business https://claude.com/solutions/small-business today. The bar for joining is high. We hire people with high agency and high urgency, who care less about where they trained and more about what they've built. If you want to spend the next chapter of your career building the team that decides where Fortune 500 companies go next, alongside the best operators in the industry and the labs building the technology, this is the place. ABOUT THE ROLE Everything we sell is people. The elite teams we embed into client operations are only as good as the talent we put in the room, which means recruiting isn't a support function here. It's how the business is built. That's what Recruiters at Tenex are hired to own. This is a craft role, and a lean one. We run recruiting with a small team, which means you own your searches full cycle, from the first outbound note to the signed offer, for the AI Strategists, Forward-Deployed Engineers, and operators who go straight into our toughest client work. There's no large team to hand work off to. You're the first person a candidate meets and the one accountable for whether they're sharp enough to clear our bar. You won't work off a req list. We expect you to take ambiguous, high-level direction from a hiring manager and turn it into a sharp, targeted search, knowing exactly who you want before the role even opens. You'll hold strong opinions on talent, defend them with evidence, and push back when the bar is at risk. Searches are owned, not handed off, so context never gets lost between stages. Two roles make up most of your pipeline: Forward-Deployed Engineers and AI Strategists. Those are the searches you'll run again and again, with the occasional ad hoc role mixed in as the business needs it. Going deep on these two profiles, knowing exactly what great looks like and where to find it, is most of the job. We don't recruit the way most firms do. We expect you to live in the modern agentic AI stack as a daily practitioner, using it at every stage from sourcing to screening to closing, compressing a search that used to take a month into something faster. You're a sourcer at heart who doesn't wait for inbound. The goal is simple to state and hard to hit: the people you place should raise the bar of the firm, measured by the quality of who joins and how fast we close the searches that matter. Nothing else really counts. This role will report to our operations leader and partners closely with hiring managers across Strategy and Engineering. Plan on being in the office five days a week with the rest of the team. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own full-cycle recruiting for our two core searches, Forward-Deployed Engineers and AI Strategists, plus ad hoc roles as they come up, from first touch to signed offer - Partner closely with hiring managers to understand each role deeply, then translate abstract asks into concre
