💻 Role

We’re looking to hire an International Recruiter for our Operations teams (including Customer Experience, Trust & Safety, Fraud, and Business Operations). You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Lead hiring for critical high-volume roles. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and business leaders, bringing a consultative approach to influence hiring decisions, shape strategies, and align recruiting priorities with broader business goals.

  • Source strong talent. You’ll experiment and partner with hiring managers to reach top candidates and explore creative channels beyond LinkedIn.

  • Act as a full-cycle recruiter from sourcing, screening, managing the candidate through interviews, and closing.

  • Juggle a variety of roles at once. At any given time you could be managing the pipelines for and working on filling 10-15 (or more at times) open roles.

  • Assist with developing job posts, hiring plans, and rubrics. You'll work with the hiring manager to tighten up job descriptions, screening rubrics, and guide the hiring process along the way.

  • Iterate on candidate feedback. You'll smooth rough edges in the recruiting process by iterating on feedback from candidates or other signals.

  • Uplevel the recruiting team. You'll mentor peers, share best practices, and help build a culture of continuous improvement that raises the bar for recruiting excellence across the organization.

  • Build scalable processes. You'll work on improving and standardizing recruiting workflows that can scale with the company’s growth, creating repeatable and effective practices that can be applied across the business.

  • Emphasize diversity. You'll look for proven traditional and creative methods to bring new points of view to the team and encourage inclusive hiring practices.

Team members in this role are required to be within commuting distance of our Dublin (preferred) or London hub.

👋 You

Curious about who thrives at Whatnot? We’ve found that low ego, a growth mindset, and leaning into action and high impact goes a long way here.

As our next International Recruiter, you should have 4+ years of supporting hiring for Operations teams (including Customer Experience, Trust & Safety, Fraud, and/or Business Operations), in high-growth startups or at fast-paced companies of scale, plus:

  • You know how to hire at high volumes, balancing quantity and quality.

  • You're comfortable operating as a full-stack recruiter. You're able to manage the entire process of a candidate end to end.

  • You provide an incredible candidate experience. You sweat the small stuff but keep the big picture in mind. You know that a job search can be nerve-racking and you prioritize providing a more human experience for everyone that interacts with Whatnot during a hiring process.

  • You’re extremely organized and can balance multiple competing priorities.

  • You are data-focused. You measure pipeline health to balance your priorities and set hiring manager expectations.
