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 skills to cut it, and are looking to make an impact (over having a 9 to 5). As a result, we have one of the stronger teams in New York working in lockstep toward our mission of a Meetup Everywhere about Most Everything. We’re looking to bring on a creative recruiter who will own hiring for our non-technical roles here in New York!
As a recruiter at Meetup, you will be:
- managing full cycle recruitment for non-technical roles, spanning from a junior Community Specialist to a seasoned Creative Director, and everything in between. We’re looking to grow by about 25% this year, and we’ll need your help to do it.
- 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.
- advocating for where we should be; campus recruitment and job fairs are nice, but how can we leverage Meetup's strong relationships in the industry to become a career destination?
- managing additional projects 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.
Who we’re looking for:
- 4 - 7+ years experience recruiting in a tech or creative-focused environment, preferably in-house.
- You have *hustle*. You’re a recruiter’s recruiter who will derive energy and excitement from talking with people about what we’re doing behind the scenes at HQ.
- 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.
- Someone with a strong client services perspective. As recruiters, we’re in the unique position of having clients (both hiring managers and candidates) who sometimes have conflicting needs. You’ll be able to manage expectations on all sides and ensure everyone feels heard.
- 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.
If you’re interested in joining our team and helping to build it, we’d love to hear from you! Let us know why you love people and what sets you apart from most candidates. As you can probably figure out, we take hiring seriously and want to find the best recruiter out there to join us. If you apply without a cover letter, you won’t be considered for the role.
