Taste Labs is building the data and infrastructure layer to improve AI 'taste', focusing initially on design. They work with frontier AI labs on post-training data, reinforcement learning environments and evaluations to improve models, and with agent and app companies on context and verification tools so agents can produce better, more creative, on-brand designs. Mission is to reduce poor-quality AI outputs ('AI slop') by providing data, evals, and infrastructure.

📋 Description

• Source exceptional design and engineering talent across LinkedIn, portfolio platforms, social channels, creative communities, and other relevant networks • Build pipelines across international markets, with a focus on EMEA and APAC talent pools • Run and manage high-volume outreach campaigns across multiple channels • Research portfolios and identify candidates aligned with TasteMakers’ quality bar • Build and maintain sourcing pipelines for multiple concurrent roles • Help identify strong creative and technical communities across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia • Review applications against selection criteria — portfolio quality, skillset fit, rate, availability, and assessment readiness • Manage early candidate engagement and communication across email and messaging platforms • Support candidates across time zones with timely, thoughtful communication • Build shortlists for project-specific staffing in collaboration with the Recruitment Lead • Help assess candidate fit for international freelance and contract-based project work • Coordinate the assessment process — distribute tests, track submissions, follow up, route results for review • Support compliance and contracting workflows, including background checks and onboarding documentation • Support expert onboarding logistics and project kick-off coordination • Maintain clean, accurate records in our talent database and keep the pipeline organized as we scale • Help improve operational coverage outside of U.S. business hours so experts and candidates feel supported globally

🎯 Requirements

• 3–6+ years of recruiting, sourcing, or talent operations experience — ideally in creative, design, or tech recruiting • Based in EMEA or APAC time zones. You are located outside of the U.S. and can provide meaningful coverage across European, Middle Eastern, African, and/or Asian working hours • You understand creative and technical talent. You can appreciate the nuances between types of designers — brand, product, art direction, web, UX, advanced new media — and have enough technical fluency to understand what frontend engineering and design engineering roles require • Extremely organized. You can manage high volume without dropping balls — multiple projects, hundreds of candidates, dozens of open threads, all moving simultaneously • Lightning fast. You respond quickly, move quickly, and do not let things sit • Entrepreneurial and resourceful. You thrive in environments where processes are still being built. You see gaps and fill them without being asked • Thrive under pressure. This is a fast-scaling operation with real deadlines and real clients. Some organized chaos comes with the territory — and you are energized by it • Kind and candidate-obsessed. You care deeply about the expert experience. Every person in the network should feel respected, informed, and valued • Tapped into the design community. You know where designers and engineers hang out online — X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, Dribbble, Behance, portfolio sites, niche creative communities — and you are comfortable engaging in those spaces • Globally minded. You have experience recruiting international freelance or contract talent across time zones, or you are excited to build that muscle quickly

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote-first: Work from anywhere • International coverage: Help us expand recruiting and expert support across EMEA and APAC time zones • Path to full-time: For the right person, there is potential to transition to a permanent role • Autonomy and ownership: This is not a button-pushing sourcing role — you will help shape how we find, evaluate, and onboard the best creative talent in the world
