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.
