Job Description

• Proactively search for outstanding candidates, using whatever channels and approaches are needed to keep pipelines strong and find the best talent. • Push hiring managers to clearly define role scope, responsibilities, and success criteria before hiring begins; act as the forcing function that prevents poorly scoped roles from launching and ensuring role scoping and calibrations get done on time. • Translate role requirements into structured interview plans, including interview stages, interviewer assignments, and suggested questions to assess defined attributes. • Serve as the primary point of contact for candidates from first conversation through decision, building trust, clearly representing the organization, and keeping strong candidates engaged throughout the process. • Own the setup, accuracy, and day-to-day operation of the ATS (Greenhouse). Coordinate interviews, manage candidate communication, and drive timely debriefs so decisions are made quickly and the hiring process stays organized and moving. • Track metrics and examine role funnels to understand where bottlenecks are; suggest and drive targeted changes that unblock progress and improve hiring outcomes.

Job Requirements

  • Have ~7–10+ years of experience in recruiting or adjacent operator roles, with hands-on ownership of sourcing, screening, and running hiring end to end
  • Strong judgment and confidence to push back on hiring managers and the CEO around role scope, quality, and process, while staying deeply hands-on with sourcing, screening, and managing hiring processes
  • Think from first principles about hiring: able to break down vague role definitions, surface missing decisions, and evaluate candidates based on real signal rather than pedigree or “best practices”
  • Have a track record of finding and winning strong candidates when it’s hard, getting creative when standard channels fail, and doing whatever it takes to build real pipeline
  • Build genuine rapport with candidates and serve as a credible, compelling first touchpoint
  • Highly organized and operationally rigorous, able to own systems and processes end to end, keep things clean, and spot breakdowns before they slow hiring
  • Have experience operating on very small or early-stage recruiting teams and understand what it takes to own hiring without layers of support.
