Recruiting Operations Lead

180k – 250kNew York, NYRecruitingOnsite3+ YOE
Summary

Build and run the operational backbone of recruiting at a fast-scaling AI healthcare startup. Own Ashby architecture, reporting, hiring processes, tech stack, and referral programs.

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
  • Build and continuously improve company-wide referral programs, making it easy for employees to identify, submit, engage, and track exceptional candidates
  • Surface the trends, risks, and bottlenecks that are not obvious from a dashboard, and synthesize them into clear recommendations for recruiting and company leadership

Requirements

  • 3–8 years in recruiting operations, people operations, revenue operations, business operations, or another systems- and analytics-oriented role, ideally in a rapidly scaling company
  • Strong hands-on experience configuring and improving a modern ATS; direct Ashby experience is strongly preferred
  • Deep comfort with data: Excel or Sheets is table stakes, and experience with SQL, BigQuery, or a business-intelligence tool is a plus
  • Communication and influence ability to drive adoption and accountability across recruiters, hiring managers, interviewers, and senior leaders
  • A track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
