Job description

About Trellis

Trellis is rewriting the insurance experience from the inside out. We’re the tech company behind Savvy, our licensed insurance agency, and we’re bringing clarity and ease to a space known for… the opposite. With powerful tools, clean design, and a customer-first mindset, we’re making insurance shopping refreshingly effortless.

We’re a profitable, fast-growing Series A startup backed by General Catalyst, QED, NYCA, and Amex Ventures. As a remote-first team, we move quickly, experiment boldly, and build with intention.

If you’re craving meaningful impact, energized by ambiguity, and are ready to build alongside exceptional teammates, you’re going to love doing your best work at Trellis.

We’re looking for a motivated, high-output Junior Recruiter to help grow our Insurance Agent hiring engine. This role is a great fit for someone early in their recruiting career who is excited to build strong fundamentals in high-volume hiring, learn how to manage recruiting funnels, and contribute to a repeatable sourcing strategy for licensed insurance talent.

You’ll help hire Insurance Agents at scale by sourcing candidates, running efficient screens, keeping candidates engaged, and partnering closely with the team to improve process and results over time. This is not a “post-and-pray” recruiting role, you’ll be part of a fast-moving hiring function where activity, follow-through, candidate experience, and continuous improvement matter.

Please note this is a hybrid role out of either our NYC or Phoenix, AZ offices.

What You’ll Do

Support full-cycle recruiting for high-volume Insurance Agent roles
Source candidates across a variety of channels, including:
- Job boards
- Industry communities and licensing channels
- Referrals
- Events, meetups, and in-person recruiting opportunities
Help manage a high-volume recruiting funnel with clear follow-up expectations and candidate touchpoints
Partner with recruiting and Consumer Operations teammates to understand hiring needs and keep candidates moving through the process
Run structured, candidate-first phone screens at scale
Track recruiting activity and funnel metrics, including outreach, response rates, screen volume, conversion, and speed
Represent the company at recruiting events, job fairs, and industry gatherings as needed
Test new sourcing ideas, share what’s working, and help document repeatable processes
Maintain accurate candidate records and follow-up in the ATS

What We’re Looking For

1+ year of recruiting, sourcing, talent acquisition, sales, customer-facing, or high-volume hiring experience
Interest in recruiting licensed insurance agents or frontline sales talent
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment
Strong communication skills and ability to build rapport quickly with candidates
Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage a high volume of candidate activity
Curious about recruiting funnels, conversion rates, and process improvement
Experience using an ATS such as Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, or similar is a plus
Ability to learn new tools, processes, and sourcing channels quickly
Willingness to attend recruiting events or job fairs as needed
Bias toward action, follow-through, and continuous improvement

Why This Role Is Different

You’ll help build a scalable hiring engine for one of the company’s most important roles
You’ll get hands-on experience in high-volume recruiting, sourcing, candidate assessment, and funnel management
You’ll work closely with experienced recruiting and business partners who can help you grow
You’ll have room to test ideas, learn quickly, and make a measurable impact
You’ll build strong recruiting fundamentals in a fast-moving, high-growth environment

If you’re energized by pace, people, and learning how to build recruiting systems that scale, we’d love to meet you.

Why Trellis? Because you deserve a career that’s exciting, meaningful, and surrounded by people who lift you up.

We’re a group of curious, mission-driven humans rewriting the insurance experience and having a lot of fun along the way. At Trellis, you’ll make a real impact on a product millions rely on, and grow alongside a company that’s scaling fast.
