About the role

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

  • 1-3 years of experience as either a Recruiting Coordinator, Administrative Assistant, or any adjacent role dealing with high volume scheduling.
  • 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).

Compensation

  • Rate: $40 - $43 per hour (equivalent to $83,200 - $89,440 annually for 40 hours/week).
  • Hybrid work schedule: In-office M/W/F.
