About the role

  • We're looking for a dynamic, highly organized Recruiting Coordinator to help us scale our team without ever compromising on experience.
  • This is a high-velocity role at the heart of our hiring engine where you'll keep dozens of moving parts in sync and bring order to ambiguity.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end candidate experience, making every interaction from first touch to final decision, feel seamless, human, and high-touch
  • Coordinate and schedule interviews across complex calendars, time zones, and competing priorities, keeping things moving at speed
  • Serve as a trusted partner to recruiters, interviewers, and hiring managers, anticipating needs, communicating proactively, and making their jobs easier
  • Operate independently in ambiguity: spot gaps, make judgment calls, and create structure where none exists yet
  • Identify, initiate, and drive projects that improve and scale our recruiting processes as the team grows
  • Manage logistics, administrative tasks, and ad-hoc recruiting support with accuracy and urgency
  • Continuously look for ways to raise the bar on both the external candidate experience and the internal stakeholder experience

Requirements

  • 2–4 years of experience as a Recruiting Coordinator, ideally in a fast-paced or high-growth environment
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity. You take initiative, make decisions with incomplete information, and don't wait to be told what to do
  • A natural high-velocity operator who moves quickly without sacrificing accuracy or attention to detail
  • Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously without losing the thread
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with proactive, clear, and warm follow-through
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, adapting fast in a rapidly changing startup environment
  • Proficiency with various ATSs (Ashby preferred)
