Role

We're looking to hire a Business Recruiter to manage end-to-end recruiting for our Categories and Expansion teams (including Sales, Account Management, Revenue Operations, Partnerships, and Strategy & Operations). You'll have the opportunity to:

• Identify strong candidates. You'll partner with hiring managers to identify and reach out efficiently to potential candidates.
• Find or create new sources of talent. LinkedIn might be a good tool, but you'll always look for new and unique ways to source candidates.
• Screen candidates. You'll serve as the filter of the top of the funnel to increase the hiring team's time and focus on interviewing the best candidates.
• Juggle a variety of roles at once. At any given time you could be managing the pipelines for and working on filling 5-10 (or more at times) open roles.
• Assist with developing job posts, hiring plans, and rubrics. You'll work with the hiring manager to tighten up job descriptions, screening rubrics, and guide the hiring process along the way.
• Iterate on candidate feedback. You'll smooth rough edges in the recruiting process by iterating on feedback from candidates or other signals.
• Cultivate relationships with individuals and groups. You'll help build personal relationships through introductions, references, or by facilitating participation with community groups.
• Emphasize diversity. You'll look for proven traditional and creative methods to bring new points of view to the team.
  
  

Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City or Seattle hub.
