The strength of our team can mean the difference between a good product and a product that changes the world. We're in it to change the world, and growing the Meetup Team is essential to our success. We invest a lot of time in making sure that prospective employees are invested in our mission, have the technical chops to get $h!t done, and are going to make an impact. As a result, we have one of the strongest engineering (+ HR!) teams in New York.
We won’t be a company of thousands...we want to stay small but scalable so we can see the impact that our work has on the world. Our team is smart, ambitious, supportive, and above all, we are excited by what we do. Right now, there’s a great opportunity for a strong recruiter to come in and have an impact in a big way.
Who we’re looking for:
- 4+ years experience recruiting in a tech-focused environment, preferably in-house.
- You have a strong understanding of web technology and can carry a conversation with an engineer without being intimidated (or sounding like you’re full of it).
- A self-starter with an innate curiosity about people. A huge part of recruitment is getting candidates to open up and understanding what motivates them - that comes naturally for you. And you’re not going to wait around for them to apply; you’re going to work your network and find the right folks to join our team.
- An articulate communicator with a strong attention to detail.
- Strong follow up and flexibility - you won’t miss a beat when you’re juggling four interviews and a last minute cancellation pops up.
- You get excited by what we’re doing at Meetup. The only way you can sell it is if you’re already sold.
- Someone with previous experience in a startup a strong plus.
Responsibilities include:
- Managing the recruitment process for technical, product and design positions. As a candidate’s initial point of contact, you’ll get them excited about what we’re doing at Meetup and see if they might be a fit for the team. You’ll work with managers to schedule interviews, tech assessments and keep the process moving along quickly and smoothly.
- Sourcing candidates. You’ll find new and creative ways of connecting to those who aren’t actively looking for a new position...often the experienced, fantastic candidates are never really looking for their next gig.
- You’ll be the primary point person for your hires; you’ll check in with them to see how things are going, and offer support to their managers around performance management, motivation and growth.
- Coordinating campus recruitment and job fairs. Meetup has strong relationships in the industry and it’ll be up to you to make sure everything is in order when we attend tech-focused events.
- Additional projects and support as needed. At Meetup, we’re willing to experiment and try new things - especially when it comes to recruitment. Have a great idea? You’ll get the opportunity to try it here.
If you’re interested in joining our team, we’d love to hear from you! Let us know why you love people and what sets you apart from most candidates.
