About the opportunity:

We are looking for a Senior Recruiter to join our growing team! We hit a huge milestone in early 2024 by achieving profitability and have ambitious goals for the next few years — scale from 5M to 50M customers and become a $10B business. We hold an exceedingly high bar for talent, and continuing to hire intentionally and thoughtfully is the single most important lever in getting there. Our goal is not to hire quickly, but to ensure that we are building a small and mighty team of the highest caliber people which will allow us to stay lean, agile, learn from brilliant colleagues, and accomplish big things together. At Jerry, recruiters play a much bigger role than at most other organizations, we are responsible for, and take ownership over, elevating our organizational talent density with each hire and ensuring that every team at Jerry operates at an extremely high level.

Reporting directly to one of our cofounders, you will partner closely with senior leaders and lead our most impactful and complex searches across R&D, GTM, and G&A, including leadership hiring. We are deeply connected to the work we do and the impact we make. We are continuously raising the bar for ourselves and working on perfecting our craft. If you're looking for an opportunity to master the craft of interviewing and assessing talent at the level of highly skilled hiring managers, make a massive impact, and learn from exceptional team members, we'd love to hear from you!

How you will make an impact:

• You will act as the project leader on the roles you are running, driving the search forward, identifying blockers and bottlenecks along the interview process, search parameters and/or candidate funnel, and ensuring we are constantly learning and making progress.

• Recruiters at Jerry conduct very thorough initial screens that include carefully crafted interview questions that mimic later stage hiring manager interviews at other organizations and often take 45-60 minutes to complete. You will analyze the key requirements for the roles you are leading to craft, conduct, and iterate on the questions you are asking during the initial recruiter screen stage to surface the most valuable insights including evidence for candidates' track record of high performance, whether candidates are exceeding our bar on the skills, traits and any other dimensions that are critical to success at Jerry.

• As a senior member of our recruiting team, you will primarily own senior-level searches in the U.S. and Canada across a variety of business areas including product management, business operations & analytics, product design/research, growth marketing, communications, legal, content, human resources, finance and administration.

• As a senior member of our recruiting team, you will also mentor and support the development of our junior team members through coaching and contributing to our training resources.

Who you are:

• You are deeply curious. You seek to really understand the business and the teams you are supporting, the people you are trying to recruit, and you're constantly striving for greater depth in your understanding as opposed to being okay with drawing surface level conclusions.

• You are a driver. You are impatient and dissatisfied when progress is stalled, and you relentlessly push yourself and your team members to produce results. 

• You are as comfortable operating within defined parameters as you are with a high degree of ambiguity.

• You appreciate the complexity and nuance involved in delivering a truly stellar recruiting experience, and you are passionate about perfecting your craft.

Ideal profile:

• 5+ years of recruiting experience with progressively increasing complexity in the types of searches you are running.

• Prior experience recruiting senior IC to leadership roles across a wide variety of functions such as product, business operations, software engineering, data science, finance or business analytics (bonus points if you have weathered a competitive contingency agency).

• Prior experience managing and driving progress across multiple searches.

• Track record of being successful in a high velocity, output-driven and demanding environment.

• Bachelor's degree in an intellectually rigorous discipline.

While we appreciate your interest and application, only applicants under consideration will be contacted.
