• Build hiring workflows and interview processes using Ashby ATS

• Skill Development: Build expertise across the full recruiting spectrum in a fast-moving environment.
• Growth Path: Natural progression to senior TA roles as we scale and expand the team.

Additionally

We are a rapidly scaling startup looking to hire and onboard 20 new starts within this year, this is demanding work, perfect for someone who thrives on variety and ownership. You\'ll solve unique challenges daily and wear multiple hats.

If you prefer specialized roles or large team structures, this isn\'t the right fit.

• Competitive Package: We offer market-competitive compensation aligned with local talent acquisition rates for professionals with your level of experience and expertise.
