Job description

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. You'll keep dozens of moving parts in sync, bring order to ambiguity, and make every candidate and hiring partner feel like they're our only priority.

If you thrive when the path isn't fully mapped out, move fast without dropping details, and genuinely care about how people are treated, you'll do great here.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • 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 WHAT YOU BRING - 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)
