Role Overview

We’re looking for a rare blend: a recruiting operations pro who builds like an engineer. You’ll design and run the automated systems that power talent acquisition end-to-end—scaling pipeline generation, market insights, referrals, interview readiness, and data integrity. If you read a messy process and instantly start “vibe coding” a cleaner system, you’ll feel right at home.

Key Responsibilities

• Build automated sourcing “bots” and workflows that consistently generate qualified, interested candidates across multiple concurrent roles

• Create multi-channel outreach sequences, quality dashboards, and continuous optimization loops to improve response and conversion rates

• Develop a market intelligence “tripwire” system that monitors competitor hiring signals, talent movements, and comp trends with real-time Slack alerts

• Build an internal referral/backchannel system that maps employee networks and surfaces warm intro opportunities

• Automate interviewer and candidate prep (prep packets, interview guides, triggered comms, calendar/ATS integrations) to improve the interview experience

• Redesign and improve the careers site with strong storytelling, realistic job previews, and conversion-optimized application flows

• Implement ATS data integrity checks, exception reporting, validation rules, and cleanup workflows to keep recruiting data reliable

Required Qualifications

• Proven ability to whiteboard and explain how you would implement the automation projects described above (systems thinking + practical execution)

• 1+ year experience as a dedicated sourcer or recruiter (you deeply understand pipeline mechanics and candidate experience)

• Strong recruiting operations foundation (ATS hygiene, process design, reporting, stakeholder enablement)

• Comfort building scrappy, connected “systems” (not isolated point solutions) and iterating quickly based on user feedback

• Non-negotiable: Prior remote work experience; fluent with remote collaboration tools (Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana or similar); and ideally have worked with US or UK-based companies—applications without this will not be considered

• High ownership, high pace, and availability beyond a strict 9–5 mindset when hiring needs require it

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building automation with tools like Clay, Cursor, Claude/AI coding tools, v0, Zapier/Make, Airtable, or similar

• Basic scripting or data skills (e.g., Python/JS, APIs, webhooks, SQL) to connect tools reliably

• Experience improving or rebuilding a careers site (SEO/AEO, conversion, content/storytelling)

• Exposure to talent market intel, comp benchmarking, or competitor monitoring workflows

Tools & Technology

ATS (Greenhouse/Lever or similar), Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom, Asana (or similar), Clay, automation platforms (Zapier/Make), Airtable/Notion, dashboards/BI (Looker/Tableau/Sheets), APIs/webhooks, AI build tools (Cursor/Claude/v0)

Please NOTE

It is crucial that you complete the application form in full. As part of the application process, you will be required to record a video. If your application is successful, you will receive an email confirming next steps—the video is the first step of the interview process. If you do not record a video, we will not be able to consider you for ANY open roles.
