About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own Forus’s Ashby architecture end to end, including jobs, interview plans, workflows, permissions, automations, integrations, and data integrity
  • Produce the reporting and dashboards that become the company’s source of truth for hiring progress, recruiting capacity, funnel conversion, time to hire, and source quality
  • Audit the hiring process across functions, identify where candidates are moving slowly or being lost, and drive the operational changes required to fix it
  • Translate company headcount plans and changing business priorities into search prioritization, recruiter capacity plans, hiring forecasts, and clear operating cadences
  • Develop the processes, templates, playbooks, and service standards that help recruiters and hiring managers run rigorous searches consistently
  • Own the recruiting technology stack beyond Ashby, including scheduling and sourcing platforms, Slack integrations, referral tools, and AI products such as Clay or Juicebox
