Job Description
? Role
We’re looking to hire a Business Recruiter to manage end-to-end recruiting for our Categories and Expansion teams (including Sales, Account Management, Revenue Operations, Partnerships, and Strategy & Operations). You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Identify strong candidates. You'll partner with hiring managers to identify and reach out efficiently to potential candidates.
- Find or create new sources of talent. LinkedIn might be a good tool, but you'll always look for new and unique ways to source candidates.
- Screen candidates. You'll serve as the filter of the top of the funnel to increase the hiring team’s time and focus on interviewing the best candidates.
- Juggle a variety of roles at once. At any given time you could be managing the pipelines for and working on filling 5-10 (or more at times) open roles.
- Assist with developing job posts, hiring plans, and rubrics. You'll work with the hiring manager to tighten up job descriptions, screening rubrics, and guide the hiring process along the way.
- Iterate on candidate feedback. You'll smooth rough edges in the recruiting process by iterating on feedback from candidates or other signals.
- Cultivate relationships with individuals and groups. You'll help build personal relationships through introductions, references, or by facilitating participation with community groups.
Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City or Seattle hub.
? You
Curious about who thrives at Whatnot? We’ve found that low ego, a growth mindset, and leaning into action and high impact goes a long way here.
As our next Business Recruiter you should have 6+ years of GTM/Business recruiting experience in high-growth startups or at fast-paced companies of scale, plus:
- You have previously evaluated candidates for a range of business roles, across multiple levels, including GTM leadership. You enjoy the challenge of finding world-class talent for hard-to-fill roles.
- You're comfortable operating as a full-stack recruiter. You're able to manage the entire process of a candidate end to end.
- You're a sourcer at heart. You enjoy sourcing for your positions and take pride in nurturing and building relationships with passive talent.
- You're comfortable with ownership. Whatnot is one of the fastest-growing startups in history, and hiring is key to our success. You should feel comfortable moving uncomfortably fast, managing multiple roles, and being accountable for your work.
- You provide an incredible candidate experience. You sweat the small stuff but keep the big picture in mind. You know that a job search can be nerve-racking and you prioritize providing a more human experience for everyone that interacts with Whatnot during a hiring process.
- You’re extremely organized and can balance multiple competing priorities.
- You are data-focused. You measure pipeline health to balance your priorities and set hiring manager expectations.
