Senior Talent Partner - Sales
Job Overview
About Chapter 2
Chapter 2 is one of the fastest-growing embedded talent businesses in the world. We've scaled to 160+ people globally in under four years, partnering with high-growth startups and scale-ups across Europe and the US. We don't do contingency. We don't post CVs. We embed directly into the world's most ambitious companies — acting as their talent function, building their hiring infrastructure, and delivering results at agency speed with the standards of an internal team.
Our commercial growth is fuelled by two things: sharp outbound sales and world-class events that put us in the same room as the people we want to work with. That's where you come in.
We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence, embedding world-class talent, pioneering technology, and compelling employer branding into organizations across industries. Our approach isn’t just about recruitment—it’s about building long-term success for our clients.
We are loyal to our clients, to our vision, and most importantly, to each other—because we know that true success is built together.

Senior Recruiter – Sales Hiring | Chicago | Hybrid |
This isn't a seat-filler role.
We're hiring on behalf of a publicly traded, high-velocity technology business in Chicago. They're looking for a Senior Recruiter to own the build-out of a modern, AI-native sales hiring engine — from first principles.
If you're running a desk inside a mature TA function and looking for more of the same, this probably isn't for you. If you're a scrappy, high-agency operator who's already using AI to compound your output and wants to architect something from scratch — read on.
What You'll Own
End-to-end sales hiring across the Chicago org and broader US footprint
Designing and automating sourcing, screening, and pipeline workflows using Claude Code and adjacent AI tooling
Funnel analytics — diagnosing where conversion breaks and fixing it with process or technology
Hiring manager partnership: scorecards, calibration, structured interviewing, and offer strategy
A candidate experience that reflects the calibre of the business
Who Fits
Scrappy operator. You've built something from zero — not just maintained a process someone else designed
High IQ, high agency. You think from first principles and don't wait for permission
Genuinely AI-native. You're already using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar tooling to automate parts of your workflow. This is non-negotiable
Strong sales recruiting track record — AE, SDR leadership, and GTM hires at growth-stage or publicly traded tech companies
Comfortable with ambiguity. The playbook gets written by you
Chicago-based or willing to be on-site three days a week
The Setup
Hybrid — Chicago-based, three days on-site
Direct partnership with a senior commercial leader hiring for grit, IQ, and the ability to ship
The mandate: raise the bar on sales talent density, move fast, and use AI to compound your own output
