About the role

Subcritical Systems, Inc. in Austin, Texas is seeking a Head of Talent to lead recruitment, strengthen retention, and build a culture of excellence. You will engage exceptional candidates, manage hiring across the company, and leverage founder and investor networks to attract top talent across fields. This is a hands-on, high-velocity role requiring initiative and accountability. You will own employer branding, university partnerships, and internship programs while reporting to the President.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
