Honey Homes: Recruiter

Honey Homes is a new membership service for homeowners that proactively addresses the everyday to-do’s, ongoing maintenance and unexpected repairs that come with home ownership. Members are paired with a dedicated handyman who regularly visits their home with a simple app to coordinate. We’re on a mission to make home upkeep effortless, replacing hassle and stress with the joy that comes from comfortable living.

We’re excited to hire our first in-house recruiter who will also assist with people operations. Your primary focus from Day 1 will be supporting the growth of our Field Team (handymen and handywomen), who are the heart of our service. You’ll have the opportunity to build and scale Honey Homes’ recruiting engine - both in the Bay Area and beyond - by working closely with our Operations Team and Field Managers to refine our hiring process, recruit top tradespeople, and help create a smooth onboarding experience.

This role is based in our office in Oakland, CA. Experience recruiting front line or non office roles is a must.

What You’ll Do

• Own hiring pipeline: Increase our pipeline of high-quality candidates via job boards and outbound sourcing, plus by testing new channels for connecting with top tradespeople.

• Refine and scale hiring processes: Partner with Field Operations to refine hiring criteria for Honey Homes handypeople, and iterate on our interview process and ATS setup for increased efficiency and visibility.

• Recruiting coordination: Ensure candidates efficiently move forward in the interview process, and deliver a great candidate experience every step of the way.

• Hire top talent: Deliver on our hiring goals by completing a high volume of phone screens, and successfully closing candidates that meet our high bar for trade skills and hospitality.

• Embrace our culture of hospitality: Our handypeople are the heart of our service, and our members are our VIPs. You’ll embody and evangelize hospitality as we’ve defined it at Honey Homes.

• Support people operations: As we scale, support people-related activities like offer extension, onboarding setup, and more.

We’re Looking for Someone Who:

• Knows how to hire at scale, and can build the foundation to do so: You have experience hiring at a high volume to hit goals, but without all the bells and whistles already in place. You’re comfortable working out of a Google spreadsheet, but just as comfortable moving that sheet into software.

• Has experience in front-line or non-office hiring: You understand how to connect with and assess candidates for roles outside of an office setting, and get them excited about an opportunity.

• Has a growth mindset: You’re a self-starter who is comfortable jumping into projects without a lot of oversight or examples. You’ve successfully taken ideas from 0-1 in the past.

• Is a strong communicator and collaborator: You have great verbal and written skills, and can make anyone feel comfortable in conversation. You know how to build trust with key stakeholders, and when to question the way ‘things have always been done’.

• Has a startup mindset: You’re flexible and not stuck in just one way of doing things. You’re willing to test and iterate quickly, and navigate change with grace.

• Prioritizes all day long. You understand what's the most important thing to be working on, and make sure it gets done.

• Documents everything. You write down what you are doing. You share clear, concise and frequent updates with your team.

Desired experience:

• Experience recruiting front-line or non office role

• Experience recruiting in a high growth startup environment
