Recruiter

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for multiple recruiters to represent Coefficient Giving to candidates, hiring managers, and external partners, serving as a key face of the organization. Regardless of your primary focus, you’ll spend time maintaining and improving our recruiting systems and working on strategic projects. Recent examples include developing hiring forecasts, updating evaluation processes in response to LLM developments, and building new dashboards for data analysis. If you focus on pipeline development, you’ll own and contribute to a variety of sourcing efforts that help us to find and engage strong candidates. This involves: - High-priority round sourcing: Find and invite leads, take informational calls with promising candidates, respond to indications of interest, and promote our job opportunities across a variety of external channels. This will make up the majority of your work. - Network building & partnerships: Cultivate our internal and external referral networks by managing relationships with external partners (such as grantees, relevant community organizers, and peer organizations) and serving as a primary point of contact for the recruiting team. - Events & representation: Travel to relevant conferences (e.g. EA Global https://www.effectivealtruism.org/ea-global, the Stanford Existential Risks Initiative https://seri.stanford.edu/) to represent Coefficient Giving and develop relationships with potential referrers. - Reporting: Maintain and improve the systems we use to track leads, candidate relationships, pipeline health, and sourcing performance, ensuring visibility for senior leadership. - Employer brand collaboration: Help define how we present ourselves to potential candidates and guide updates to platforms like our Careers page and our Glassdoor account. This involves occasionally collaborating with our Communications team on employer branding efforts. If you focus on round management, you’ll own hiring projects from start to finish, typically managing several rounds simultaneously. This includes: - Project management: Determine evaluation steps, plan hiring timelines, coordinate stakeholders and information streams at key decision points, and track the overall progress of the round to make sure nothing (and no one) falls through the cracks. - Candidate evaluation: Review applications, interview candidates, and develop or advise on work tests and interview templates. - Providing guidance: Advise hiring managers on key decisions, maintain legal compliance, and uphold the standards of our hiring process. - Stakeholder management: Interface with candidates, respond to questions and requests, and ensure that all parties are kept up to speed as rounds progress. - Infrastructure: Set up and maintain the back-end systems used for each round to ensure a seamless operation from start to finish. We’re also open to hiring people who could be a great fit for other specialisms that aren’t covered above and/or don’t currently exist on our team, including at a more senior level, depending on candidate experience and fit. Specialisms that we’d be especially excited about include: - Senior headhunting: Leading on sourcing, attracting, and closing top talent for our most senior and high-priority talent needs; creating and upgrading the infrastructure that enables current senior leaders at Coefficient Giving to land top talent. - Recruiting management: Managing a sub-team of recruiters focused on delivering end-to-end hiring support for one or more of our organizational divisions; working with hiring managers to scope hiring rounds and advise on talent needs. - Recruiting operations: Improving the underlying systems that enable the team to do its best work, especially related to our Applicant Tracking System (Ashby). All that said, it’s hard to predict everything that this role might entail. We’re a rapidly growing organization where priorities can shift, and all staff pitch in across different areas to support our mission. While you’ll specialize in one workstream, you may assist with others. WHO MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT We welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds. The relative importance of different skills depends on which workstream you’d focus on, but we’re looking for candidates who bring many of the qualities outlined below. You might be a great fit for this work if you love: - Project management: You are highly organized in your own work, and are able to keep other stakeholders on track. You take pride in maintaining a clean candidate pipeline, and ensure important deliverables don’t fall through the cracks. - Maintaining relationships: You’ll represent Coefficient Giving to candidates, external partners, and hiring managers. You can build trust, convey what’s compelling about working here, and navigate sensitive conversations effectively and transparently. - Moving fast: We treat all recruiting work as urgent by default, which means prioritizing aggressively to get things done. - Thinking about organizational needs: You can assess individual potential against complex role requirements, take a broad, systems-level view of Coefficient Giving’s talent needs across diverse cause areas, and connect strategy to long-term goals. - Improving processes: You’re skilled at breaking down complex workflows and optimizing them for clarity and efficiency. - Coefficient Giving’s work across cause areas: You have enough context to identify and interface effectively with people working across our cause areas, whether that’s biosecurity, navigating transformative AI, abundance and growth, or effective giving and careers. You don’t need to be a subject matter expert in any of these fields, but you should be passionate about our mission and be interested in learning more across a wide breadth of cause areas. Experience requirements: - For pipeline development, direct experience leading a sourcing or pipeline development function is not required, but we expect the strongest candidates might have relevant experience in areas like recruiting, partnerships, or Effective Altruism or Global Catastrophic Risks community building. - For round management, we're looking for candidates with at least three years of operations experience who have successfully managed fast-moving processes. - For senior headhunting, experience with in-house or external executive search, or otherwise working with senior talent, is especially valuable. - For recruiting management, we would look for past experience working in recruitment and in people management. - For recruiting operations, we would look for experience in a recruiting operations role and/or working in-depth with an ATS. The ideal candidate for this position will possess many of the skills and experiences described above. However, there is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. If you are on the fence about applying because you are unsure whether you are qualified, we strongly encourage you to do so.
