Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruiting across Engineering, GTM, and G&A with an outcomes-focused mentality. Partner with hiring managers to define needs, clarify what great looks like, and engage with top talent.
• Be a true partner to hiring managers from day one: shape roles, drive intake conversations, challenge assumptions, and align teams on Check's standards.
• Run sourcing, outreach, and pipeline-building campaigns that keep candidate flow rich for highest-priority roles, optimizing for quality over quantity.
• Drive recruiting operations within Ashby, leveraging AI-augmented sourcing, search, and pipeline tools.
• Set and maintain a high performance bar for talent while moving fast, ensuring strong long-term staffing decisions.

• Partner closely with the Head of People to build creative hiring loops, competitive compensation structures, effective training programs, and executive reporting.

Requirements

• AI fluency as a core competency — proven ability to leverage AI tools for sourcing, outreach, screening, and decision-making.
• Fluency with Ashby and LinkedIn Recruiter (or proven ability to ramp quickly on Ashby).
• Proven ability to own full-cycle recruiting independently — sourcing through coordination, closing, and offer management.
• Strong sourcing capability, including outbound outreach and pipeline building for hard-to-fill roles.
• Clear, direct communication and exceptional storytelling; adept at influencing senior stakeholders and selling candidates.
• Strong judgment to maintain high talent bar under time pressure.
