SentiLink helps institutions and protects customers by accurately resolving identities and flagging fraud risk. Each day, we verify more than 3 million identities, flagging 150k+ fraud attempts in the process. The problems we work on are challenging, and solving them takes deep domain expertise, rigorous analysis, and a willingness to dig into the details.

At SentiLink, you'll work alongside smart, highly collaborative colleagues who respect each other's time and judgment, take ownership, and follow through on their commitments. Together, we do truly meaningful work protecting the identities of innocent consumers and flagging the fraudsters attempting to exploit them.

We're well capitalized and growing quickly. We already serve 13 of the top 15 U.S. banks, we're expanding into new markets, and we're backed by Craft Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and Max Levchin. We've been named to the Forbes Fintech 50 and as a 2026 FICO Industry Vanguard Decision Award Winner. We were also the first company to go live with the electronic Consent Based Social Security Number Verification (eCBSV) service, and we've testified before the U.S. Congress on the future of identity.

We want SentiLink to be the best place you've ever worked. We offer generous benefits and support a range of working arrangements, from fully remote to in-office. We are a digital-first company with strong collaboration across the U.S. and India, and we meet in person regularly to build relationships. We have offices in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle (Bellevue), Los Angeles, and Chicago in the U.S., and in Gurugram (Delhi) and Bengaluru in India.

Role

We're looking for a Staff or Principal Recruiter to lead some of SentiLink's most important and complex searches, with a primary focus on leadership hiring and strategic talent opportunities. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who combines deep recruiting expertise with strong business judgment, exceptional stakeholder management, and an operational mindset.

You'll work closely with the Head of Talent and senior leaders to shape hiring strategies, identify exceptional talent, and bring structure to ambiguous or evolving business needs. You'll be equally comfortable building a detailed market map, advising an executive on a difficult hiring decision, engaging a passive leadership candidate, or improving how the recruiting team operates.

Success in this role means becoming a trusted recruiting partner to SentiLink's leadership team, consistently delivering on high-stakes searches, building relationships with exceptional talent ahead of business needs, and contributing to a more strategic, effective, and scalable talent function.

This is a remote, U.S.-based position. Candidates based in Austin who are able to work regularly from one of our office locations are especially encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities

Own complex leadership and strategic searches from initial scoping through close, taking accountability for search strategy, candidate quality, stakeholder alignment, and hiring outcomes.

Develop comprehensive talent-market maps to identify target companies, leadership profiles, emerging talent, and competitive dynamics. Translate that research into actionable sourcing and hiring strategies.

Partner directly with executives and senior hiring managers to define talent needs, challenge assumptions, calibrate candidate profiles, and guide difficult hiring decisions with sound judgment and market insight.

Build and maintain relationships with exceptional talent, including passive candidates and individuals who may be relevant to future or opportunistic hiring needs.

Deliver a highly personalized candidate experience, managing sensitive conversations, complex stakeholder dynamics, and nuanced closing processes with professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail.

Navigate ambiguous and evolving priorities, bringing structure to loosely defined searches, identifying tradeoffs, and proactively driving decisions and next steps without requiring extensive direction.
