💻 Role

We’re looking to hire an International Recruiter for our Operations teams (including Customer Experience, Trust & Safety, and Fraud). You’ll have the opportunity to:

Lead hiring for critical high-volume roles. You'll partner closely with hiring managers and business leaders, bringing a consultative approach to influence hiring decisions, shape strategies, and align recruiting priorities with broader business goals.
Source strong talent. You’ll experiment and partner with hiring managers to reach top candidates and explore creative channels beyond LinkedIn.
Act as a full-cycle recruiter from sourcing, screening, managing the candidate through interviews, and closing.
Juggle a variety of roles at once. At any given time you could be managing the pipelines for and working on filling 10-15 (or more at times) open roles.
Assist with developing job posts, hiring plans, and rubrics. You'll work with the hiring manager to tighten up job descriptions, screening rubrics, and guide the hiring process along the way.
Iterate on candidate feedback. You'll smooth rough edges in the recruiting process by iterating on feedback from candidates or other signals.
Uplevel the recruiting team. You'll mentor peers, share best practices, and help build a culture of continuous improvement that raises the bar for recruiting excellence across the organization.
Build scalable processes. You'll work on improving and standardizing recruiting workflows that can scale with the company’s growth, creating repeatable and effective practices that can be applied across the business.
Emphasize diversity. You'll look for proven traditional and creative methods to bring new points of view to the team and encourage inclusive hiring practices.

Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our Dublin hub. We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection.

👋 You

People who do well at Whatnot tend to be comfortable figuring things out as they go, biased toward action, and genuinely curious about what they're building. They care more about outcomes than credit and stay close to the product and the people using it.

As our next International Recruiter, you should have 2+ years of supporting hiring for Operations teams (including Customer Experience, Trust & Safety, Fraud, and/or Business Operations), in high-growth startups or at fast-paced companies of scale, plus:

You know how to hire at high volumes, balancing quantity and quality.
You're comfortable operating as a full-stack recruiter. You're able to manage the entire process of a candidate end to end.
You're a sourcer at heart. You enjoy sourcing for your positions and take pride in nurturing and building relationships with passive talent.
You're comfortable with ownership. Whatnot is one of the fastest-growing startups in history, and hiring is key to our success. You should feel comfortable moving uncomfortably fast, managing multiple roles, and being accountable for your work.
You provide an incredible candidate experience. You sweat the small stuff but keep the big picture in mind. You know that a job search can be nerve-racking and you prioritize providing a more human experience for everyone that interacts with Whatnot during a hiring process.
You’re extremely organized and can balance multiple competing priorities.
You are data-focused. You measure pipeline health to balance your priorities and set hiring manager expectations.
You are a champion for diversity hiring & inclusive interview practices. At Whatnot, we believe hiring and fostering a diverse team is the key to building a successful business.
