Junior Recruiter

Zippy was founded with one mission: to make getting a loan for a manufactured home simple, fast, and fully online. We believe modern manufactured homes are affordable, well-built, eco-friendly, and stylish, but finding a lender who understands this market can be challenging. That’s why Zippy focuses exclusively on manufactured home loans, offering a seamless, digital experience.

Headquartered in Dallas, TX, with an office in Tempe, AZ, Zippy provides home loans and insurance to manufactured home buyers throughout the United States. Our remote-first team is spread across cities like Dallas, Houston, Knoxville, Omaha, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and several other states and cities. Backed by institutional investors, we offer competitive pay, stock options, and excellent benefits. At Zippy, we pride ourselves on our commitment to finance happiness through the power of home. We are dedicated to enhancing consumers' financial outcomes and tackling the affordable housing crisis through cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions.

We’re looking for a Junior Recruiter who thrives in high-volume environments and brings structure, urgency, and consistency to the hiring process. This is not an entry-level role - we’re seeking someone who already understands recruiting operations and can step in quickly to drive both execution and organization across recruiting.

This role reports directly to the Director of Talent Acquisition. The Director will focus on strategic, mid-level, and senior hiring, while this role will own full-cycle recruiting for assigned high-volume, entry-level roles and own recruiting operations across the function.

You’ll play a critical role in keeping everything moving - from sourcing and screening to scheduling and candidate experience - while also ensuring recruiting operations run smoothly across all roles. You’ll also support the Director with coordination on more complex searches and contribute to improving recruiting processes and infrastructure as we scale.

Think of this role as a hybrid between a recruiter and a recruiting operator - someone who can move candidates through the funnel while helping build the systems that keep hiring efficient. If you enjoy being in the middle of the action, figuring things out, and helping build something that’s still evolving, you’ll do well here.

• Deliver a high-quality candidate experience while maintaining speed and responsiveness

Sourcing & Talent Support

• Conduct LinkedIn sourcing and proactive candidate outreach for assigned roles

• Build and maintain evergreen talent pipelines for current and future roles

• Support hiring efforts with speed, organization, and consistency

Recruiting Projects & Process Improvement

• Support and lead recruiting projects such as centralizing documentation, updating templates, and improving processes

• Contribute to strengthening Zippy’s employment brand through candidate experience and recruiting materials

• Identify inefficiencies and implement improvements to streamline recruiting operations

• Help build scalable systems as the company continues to grow

What Success Looks Like

• High-volume, entry-level roles are consistently filled with quality and speed

• The Director of Talent Acquisition can stay focused on strategic hiring and decision-making

What We’re Looking For

• Prior experience in recruiting coordination, recruiting operations, or a junior recruiter role

• Experience owning full-cycle recruiting for high-volume or entry-level roles

• Experience conducting phone screens and early-stage candidate interviews

• Strong experience with ATS platforms and candidate pipeline management

• Experience managing scheduling and coordination across multiple stakeholders

• LinkedIn sourcing experience

• Ability to manage high volumes without sacrificing attention to detail

• Strong work ethic and a hands-on approach to getting things done

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and helping create structure where it doesn’t exist

• Proactive and resourceful, with a builder mindset - someone who creates structure, not just follows it

• High sense of urgency with the ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality

• Highly organized with strong follow-through and prioritization skills

• Ability to operate independently and take ownership of outcomes

• Willingness to step outside of defined responsibilities to support the team as needed

• Genuine interest in recruiting and building great teams

• Professional, clear communication skills
