• Emphasize diversity and inclusivity. You'll look for traditional and non-traditional methods to increase the likelihood we can bring new perspectives to the team.

About 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, but here are a few criteria we're looking for in this role :

You have proven experience recruiting for Business roles. Your roots are in identifying and evaluating candidates for a variety of operations / business roles, and you enjoy the challenge of finding (and helping your team to find) outstanding talent for hard-to-fill positions from mid-level to Director-level roles.

You are a leader and a builder at heart. You bring 5+ years of recruiting experience and get energy from building foundational processes and principles. You set strategy, you lean in and get into the weeds and you inspire your team to do their best work.

You are a champion for diversity hiring & inclusive interview practices. At Whatnot, we believe hiring and fostering a diverse team is the key to building a successful business. You should be passionate about these initiatives and have experience creating a strategy for building diverse teams.

You are comfortable with ownership. Whatnot is one of the fastest-growing startups in history, and hiring is critical to our success. You should feel comfortable moving uncomfortably fast and being responsible for your work.

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 an overwhelming and complicated journey for candidates, so you prioritize providing a more human experience for everyone that interacts with Whatnot during a hiring process.

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