Description

  • Partner with founders to plan hiring priorities, sequencing, and candidate quality standards.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with Airtable, Slack, Notion, or an HRMS, with an interest in automating repetitive work (preferred).

Benefits

  • Direct partnership with the founders on hiring and people decisions.
  • Access to Weekday's large white-collar talent database and outbound recruiting tools.
