**Role Title: Junior Recruiter** We’re looking for a driven professional with uncompromising integrity—someone who values free market capitalism, is their own toughest critic, and has a knack for problem-solving and value creation. This role is not for the faint of heart. You’ll collaborate closely with our co-founder, who embraces first-principles thinking, iterates relentlessly, and holds himself and those around him to ever-increasing standards. If you prioritize work-life balance, boundaries, a “good enough” mindset or can’t resonate with a pro-business mentality, our projects won’t be the right fit for you. You should find energy—not exhaustion—in fast-paced feedback loops, an iterative process, and the pursuit of better. A sharp eye for detail, personal accountability, and a hunger for continuous improvement are essential. If you’re dependable, adaptable, proactive, motivated, and energized by an entrepreneurial startup work environment, we want to hear from you. - **Summary of the Position**:_ The Junior Recruiter is primarily responsible for sourcing, recruiting, and onboarding cost-effective, high-quality talent in compliance with local regulations, while actively contributing to the testing and implementation of innovative recruitment processes and tools. In this role, you may manage multiple recruitment pipelines at once, maintaining a high level of efficiency and effectiveness. Deliverables are organized in a transparent, measurable manner and submitted throughout each stage of the end-to-end recruitment cycle to showcase progress and performance. You will collaborate and iterate closely with Key Internal Stakeholders (KIS) to define deliverables, set timelines, and ensure recruiting efforts align with company goals. Collaboration will typically take place over Slack and Zoom video meetings with cameras on and occasional recording and screen sharing when needed. Once the goals are set, you will take ownership of executing the work and be responsible for delivering results within the agreed-upon parameters and timelines. Knowledge transfer, transparency, and timely communication with all relevant stakeholders will be critical to ensure effective collaboration and seamless participation. - We rarely send reminders or correction prompts.
