What You'll Do

• Build a world-class recruiting engine - establish a highly automated hiring process that consistently delivers qualified candidates at high velocity without sacrificing quality
• Own the full candidate experience - ensure every person who interacts with Handoff walks away with a positive impression, regardless of outcome; process is structured and communication is timely, every touchpoint reflects the company we’re building
• Own the hiring plan - partner with executive leadership to maintain a live, accurate headcount plan that anticipates needs ahead of the business; roles are scoped, leveled, and ready to activate before the ask comes
• Drive recruiting metrics and reporting - define the KPIs that matter (time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, pipeline health, source quality) and build dashboards that give leadership full visibility at all times
• Build, own, and continuously improve a recruiting tech stack powered by AI and automation - identify and implement AI tools across every stage of the funnel and train the team to use them effectively
