• Foster diversity and fairness in Placer.ai’s recruiting.
• Manage weekly recruitment reporting processes. Develop, track, and analyze critical hiring statistics, hiring trends, and results for continuous improvement of strategies and processes.
• Maintain candidate pipelines for all positions, anticipate future hiring demands, and update accordingly.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Track record of successfully building a talent acquisition program from the ground up, ideally at a high-growth SaaS startup.

• Strong people skills, and demonstrated ability to close candidates.
• Experience building processes and screening candidates for business roles.
• Knowledge of federal and state laws regarding employment practices.
• Skilled in interviewing techniques.
• Ability and willingness to recruit within a lean environment that does not heavily rely on agencies or administrative support.

• Experience partnering with and influencing hiring managers; strong follow-up skills.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial startup environment.
