Hi 👋🏼 I'm Jim, the VP of People and Talent at Ashby. I've been at Ashby for just over seven months and we need some help!

Interest in our product is driving amazing growth and, as a People Team, we need to expand our capacity to hire. Since I’ve joined, our hiring managers have been doing most of the recruiting on their own, with some help from me. As we plan out hiring for 2024 and beyond we recognize we will need wider recruiting support than I have the capacity to offer, hence this role opening.

The job I do at Ashby is my dream job and I hope being a Recruiter here is yours! Not only will you get to help build the people side of our business but you’ll also get to become an expert user of our product and a thought leader on how to use it. You’ll get to make a lasting contribution to the whole recruiting community as we drive improvements across the talent tech space. Check out our Hiring Excellence Framework as an example of our content creation for the talent community.

Joining us means being part of a talented team, tackling the challenges of our stage, and contributing to our team and product growth. We value humility, continuous improvement and a dedication to excellence (more here). If you are passionate about bringing your unique strengths to the team and building a culture of success, we would love to hear from you.

The Role

Ashby is seeking a Senior Recruiter with a proven track record of discovering and hiring amazing Go To Market talent in the tech industry. In this role, you will own the end-to-end development and execution of recruitment strategies to find exceptional talent to fill critical Sales, Customer Success and Marketing roles.

Success in this role over the next six months will involve attracting, evaluating and hiring high quality candidates to meet our company's hiring needs for Go To Market positions across the business. It will also require building and collating phenomenal talent pools to create a strong infrastructure for future growth.

You will achieve this by:

Attracting, evaluating and hiring top talent for open active Sales, Customer Success and Marketing roles
Developing processes that focus on the very highest quality of hire as we scale
Discovering and quantifying new talent pools and sourcing channels
Engaging with departmental leaders and hiring managers to expertly qualify requirements
Focusing on quality and alignment at the optimal volume to meet goals

As you are probably ascertaining from the above – we are looking for a person that gains energy from both strategizing on creative ways to accelerate our hiring as well as getting their hands dirty finding and evaluating candidates. Despite this, it’s likely the successful candidate will have had experience leading a recruitment team for Sales, Customer Success and Marketing at a SaaS company.

To be qualified for this role, you must have the following:

Proven track record as an expert “Go To Market” Recruiter
Experience working across a variety of roles to be hired from at least two of Sales, Marketing or Customer Success, and from executive to niche positions.
Data-driven mindset, able to optimize your workflows, balancing diversity, quality and volume.
Demonstrated experience in creating innovative sourcing strategies that differentiate the talent pipelines from the inbound attraction and referrals that we have traditionally used

If you need someone else to do any of the following, then this role is probably not for you:

Boolean search and talent mapping activities
Requisition qualification with senior leaders
High volumes of outreach and screening calls
Prioritization of your workload

Benefits

Competitive salary and equity.
10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it 😅.
Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
$100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us.

Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply.

Interview Process

At Ashby, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. We’ll dive into past projects and simulate working together via talking through past projects and conducting a short but realistic assignment. Our interview process is 4 rounds with some casual Zoom (or in-person) coffee in between to get to know each other:

30-minute introduction call to discuss Ashby and your past work with Jim. I’m both the recruiter and hiring manager for the role so expect a traditional recruiting screen.
A take-home assignment that will ask you to create a hiring strategy for a role as well as an example of a tailored outreach to a specific candidate we will provide you.
A deeper dive into your Recruiting experience with Jim that will follow on from your assignment submission
2 hours - (broken into 4x 30 mins) with our co-founder/CEO Benji, Sales leaders Lilly or Mike, Marketing and Customer Success leadership team Harriet, Kelsey, and folks focused on Recruiting Analytics, Kevin or Laura.

Your hiring manager (Jim) will be your main point of contact and prepare you for interviews.
