Our Zeebs are passionate about learning, growing, & working together to tackle exciting problems.
We are seeking a Senior Recruiter to join our fast-paced and high-performing people team as a full-time contractor. You’ll play a critical role in driving full-cycle recruiting, owning high-priority roles across multiple departments, and ensuring alignment with hiring managers and cross-functional partners.

Compensation
This is a remote contractor role. Competitive hourly rate between $50-$60 per hour based on experience.

What You'll Do
Manage full-cycle recruiting for a variety of roles, including intake, sourcing, interviewing, offers, and close.
Build strong relationships with hiring managers, understand their team needs and priorities, and provide strategic guidance.
Drive alignment with stakeholders through structured processes, effective communication, and clear expectations.
Utilize Ashby to manage candidate pipelines, build reports, and maintain recruiting data hygiene.
Use AI tools (e.g., sourcing assistants, screening automation, AI-based scheduling tools) to drive efficiency and scalability.
Deliver a high-touch candidate experience, ensuring every applicant feels valued and informed.
Adapt quickly to shifting priorities, new roles, and evolving team structures.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of experience in full-cycle recruiting in fast-paced, high-growth environments.
Proven experience with Ashby for ATS management and reporting.
Exceptional communication skills with the ability to align cross-functional teams and set expectations.
Adaptability and calm under pressure—able to handle ambiguity and deliver results without losing focus.
Experience using AI tools for sourcing, screening, or workflow automation (e.g., ChatGPT, Gem AI, HireEZ, etc.).
Strong prioritization, attention to detail, and project management skills.
Collaborative mindset and a solutions-oriented approach.
