Job Overview

The Senior Recruiter position at AirGarage is a key role aimed at expanding their talented team. As the first in-house recruiter, your main responsibility will be to collaborate closely with founders and leadership to enhance the engineering, sales, and operations teams while also staffing new roles in product and marketing. This role is designed for individuals experienced in the full recruiting cycle with the ability to identify and attract talent from diverse backgrounds to match the company’s evolving needs. During this transition phase, you will also have a crucial say in formulating an efficient recruiting process and fostering a healthy recruitment culture as the company scales.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Recruiter, you will:

• Assist founders and leadership in scaling the team to improve customer services.
• Spend the majority of your time in sourcing, contacting, and closing high-caliber talent from both the US and globally.
• Communicate effectively to ensure candidates grasp what AirGarage is about and the unique opportunities it offers as a dynamic technology firm impacting people's daily lives.
• Own the entire recruiting pipeline from beginning to end, with a progressive vision for building a comprehensive people team as hiring needs increase.
• Utilize various recruitment sources to guide qualified candidates through each stage towards onboarding.
• Support in non-recruiting responsibilities such as compensation planning, annual reviews, and other HR-related tasks.

Required Skills

Candidates looking to apply for the role should have:

• A minimum of 3 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, either in an agency, staffing firm, or within a fast-growing startup.
• A passion for establishing a talent function from the ground up, with the potential to lead in the future.
• Comfort with the entire recruiting cycle from sourcing through to closing candidates.
• Creativity in sourcing talent and an eagerness in pursuing a rigorous recruitment process.

• A deep commitment to providing an exceptional candidate experience.
• An understanding of talent assessment beyond simple resume matching and an ability to attract candidates with seniority.
• Excellent storytelling skills to resonate AirGarage's mission effectively with candidates.

Challenges and Considerations

It is important for prospective applicants to consider their fit for this dynamic position. Being the initial recruiter in a startup environment implies a high level of accountability where your success directly impacts the company's growth.
The role demands a strong work ethic, as long hours, including evenings and weekends, may be required due to the ambitious nature of AirGarage's growth strategies.
Also, comfort in taking initiative is crucial, as processes may not be formally established; hence, the ability to design your own practices is essential. You may find yourself engaged in every aspect of the hiring process, managing the assorted responsibilities related to human resources and people management beyond recruiting.
Enthusiasm for talent acquisition and a relentless desire to discover exceptional team members will keep you motivated and satisfied in this role, making it an exciting challenge rather than just a position for you.

Given the growth potential in this role, AirGarage emphasizes resilience and an independent spirit among its team members.
