Recruiter

What You'll Do

• Actively find and hire awesome people for Mechanism and its portfolio companies. As a full-stack recruiter, you'll work closely with Founders and hiring managers to define roles, craft job descriptions, and actively outbound-source, vet, and hire talent across all of our rapidly-growing teams.
• Create an efficient interview process and positive candidate experience by setting expectations, preparing interviewers, communicating timely updates, and providing actionable feedback.
• Develop strong partnerships with hiring managers to understand hiring needs, proactively set expectations, and optimize for the best hiring decision.
• Manage the recruiting and people system, Lever, leveraging other job boards and tools as needed.
• Proactively identify and implement Recruiting and People Operations initiatives as needed.

Who You Are

• You are humble. You operate with intellectual honesty and check our egos at the door. You are receptive, adaptable, and we help each other succeed. 
• You are fast. You optimize for speed of learning, execution, and growth. You do not get blocked easily. 
• You are data-driven. You trust data over intuition. You don’t guess. You engineer.
• You are an overachiever. You partner with CEOs as cofounders and go all in. You know start-up life is not 9-5 and that excites you. You drive our own accountability and take pride in doing great work. A win for a portfolio company is a win for Mechanism.
• You play the long-game. You do the things today that will help us tomorrow. You optimize for the long-term enterprise value (EV) of Mechanism portfolio companies and know significant companies take years to build.
• You are passionate. You actively promote a positive, high-energy culture of high performance, connection, and trust. You believe life is short, so you enjoy it and do what you love.

What You'll Bring

• 3-4 years of recruiting experience in a high growth startup environment, working with multiple stakeholders across many departments. 
• Track record of providing a high-touch, positive candidate experience; we want every candidate (whether hired or not) to have a great experience with Mechanism and PortCo brands. 
• Critical thinking skills and an ability make strong recommendations for best recruiting practices.
• Experience hiring for international remote teams.
• Creative sourcing skills within LinkedIn Recruiter and other tooling.
