Recruiting Coordinator

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

We're hiring a Recruiting Coordinator to take ownership of the candidate experience and support hiring across the company. In this role, you’ll set the tone for every candidate interaction, keep interviews running with precision, and jump in to solve problems before they slow us down. You’ll partner closely with recruiters and hiring teams to help scale our talent pipeline and build the teams powering America's energy future. This role is on-site in our Austin, TX headquarters.

• Coordinate on-site interviews and handle day-of logistics.

• Greet candidates who visit the office with confidence and facilitate the on-site interview process.

• Correspond with candidates via phone, text, and email.

• Keep our candidate data clean in Ashby so that it can be our source of truth for reporting.

• Assist candidates with travel and reimbursements through Juno.

• Find opportunities for system improvement, including identifying bottlenecks, improving candidate experience, and scheduling efficiency.

• Support the full cycle recruiting process by collaborating closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and interviewers.

• Support event planning in various ways, from placing merch orders to coordinating, planning, and setting up recruiting events.

• Jump in on special projects that support scaling the recruiting function.

• Highly organized and detail-focused; you notice and fix the small things that others miss.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; you approach interactions with the goal of being clear & concise.

• Prior experience in a fast‑paced or startup environment.

• Ability to pivot last-minute and keep operations running smoothly when variables change.

At Base, Talent is one of the highest-leverage functions in the company. We believe the quality of our team determines the quality of everything we build, so hiring isn't a support function—it's a core part of our strategy.

Our team partners directly with leaders across Engineering, Operations, Product, Growth, Finance, Legal, People, and beyond to identify exceptional talent and build the teams that will define the future of Base. We own the hiring process end-to-end, challenge assumptions, raise the bar, and move with urgency.

We're building a Talent organization that combines exceptional judgment with operational excellence. We care deeply about candidate experience, hiring quality, and creating scalable systems that help the company grow without compromising on talent density.

If you're energized by solving hard problems, working alongside ambitious teammates, and having a measurable impact on the trajectory of a fast-growing company, you'll feel at home here.
