About You

You have two years or less of experience recruiting technical roles at a software and/or technology company. You've started your recruiting journey, perhaps at an agency or a corporate company. You've started to learn the ins and outs of the recruiting life cycle and are gaining experience evaluating candidates for a variety of technical roles.

You have a passion for technology. You may not be an engineer, but you find the inner workings of software systems and building product intriguing. You are self motivated to learn about different tech stacks and how software is built.

You're innately curious. You want to know the how's and why's behind the process and are eager to learn. You have an insatiable appetite for feedback and are a sponge when it comes to learning something new. You want to see the big picture, but know that the details are what matter.

You are a champion for diversity hiring & inclusive interview practices. At Zapier, we think that hiring and fostering a diverse team is just the right thing to do. You'll play an active role in helping drive diversity efforts for hiring at Zapier.

You are resourceful. You're willing to research questions, talent, and companies to find the answers and great people to recruit.

You are persistently helpful. No matter if it is diversity outreach or screening of applicants, you are an unstoppably helpful member for our operations team, to both the hiring managers and candidates.

You're comfortable driving. You prefer to own your work streams and enjoy working in autonomy to progress towards your goals, but know that success comes through winning as a team.

You provide an incredible candidate experience. You sweat the small stuff but keep the big picture in mind. You know that a job search is a challenging task and prioritize providing a more human experience for everyone that interacts with Zapier during a hiring process.

You have experience with Applicant Tracking Systems or CRM systems. Here at Zapier, we use Greenhouse and Gem. If you've not used these tools, you should feel comfortable researching them and pushing buttons to see what happens.

You value data. You understand the value of data to track pipeline health to balance your priorities and set hiring manager expectations.


Things You'll Do

Zapier is a fast-growing, and remote-first company, so you'll likely get experience on many different projects across the organization. That said, here are some things you'll probably do:

  • Identify talented candidates. You'll experiment by yourself and by working in tandem with other recruiters to reach out efficiently to potential candidates.
  • Emphasize diversity and inclusivity. You'll look for and learn traditional and non-traditional methods to increase the likelihood we can bring new perspectives to the team.
  • Find or create new sources of talent. LinkedIn might be a great tool, but you'll always look for new and unique ways to source talented folks.
  • Screen candidates. You'll serve as the filter of the top of the funnel to maximize the hiring team's time and focus on interviewing the best candidates.
  • Successfully juggle a variety of roles at once. At any given time you could be working on filling 5-10 (or more at times) open roles.
  • Nurture relationships with individuals and groups. You'll help build personal relationships through introductions, references, or by facilitating participation with community groups.
  • Develop a diverse pipeline for all current and future roles.
  • Travel of 5% - 10% for company retreats which rotate to various cities throughout North America (these are currently on hold due to COVID-19)
