WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Own full-cycle recruiting for roles across Engineering, GTM, and Operations - from sourcing through offer close
  • Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements, build scorecards, and maintain a high hiring bar
  • Build and manage sourcing strategies to proactively identify top talent through LinkedIn, referrals, events, and creative outreach
  • Manage candidate experience end-to-end, ensuring every candidate has a respectful, clear, and timely process
  • Maintain and improve our ATS, keeping pipelines clean and data accurate
  • Develop and iterate on interview processes that are structured, fair, and predictive of on-the-job success
  • Contribute to employer brand efforts - help tell the Baselayer story to attract candidates who are excited about our mission
  • Track recruiting metrics and report on pipeline health, time-to-fill, and quality of hire

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
  • 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or in a fast-paced environment
  • Demonstrated success hiring across Technical and/or GTM roles
  • Strong sourcing skills - you know how to find and engage passive candidates, not just manage inbound
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills; you run a tight, candidate-friendly process
  • Experience with an ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or similar)
  • Experience with LinkedIn Recruiter

WORK LOCATION
  • Based in NYC; hybrid - 4 days per week in office.

  • In-person energy: We're based in NYC and meet in the office 4 days a week
  • Competitive compensation: We pay well and back it with equity. We want you to think and act like an owner
  • Career rocket fuel: You'll help build the foundation of a high-growth startup, working side by side with experienced founders and team members who've done it before
  • Benefits on us: We cover 100% of your health, dental, and vision premiums. No surprise deductions from your paycheck
  • 401(k) with company match: We match your contributions so your future self benefits too
  • HSA contributions included: We contribute to your HSA on applicable plans, so your coverage works as hard as you do
  • Stay healthy, stay sharp: A $250 monthly gym stipend to help you bring your best self to work, and everywhere else
