Things You’ll Do

Zapier is a small, fast-growing, and remote company, so you'll experience a variety of projects across the organization. In this role, you’ll help modernize how we source and hire in an AI-assisted world, leading improvements to our sourcing processes and providing recruiters with better insights, tools, and automation to find and engage great talent globally. You’ll contribute to builds, lead experiments, and drive adoption of automation across the recruiting lifecycle, ultimately paving the way for Zapier’s Talent team to serve as a model for other Talent Acquisition teams and customers.

That said, here are some things you'll do:

• Pilot and refine AI-enabled sourcing workflows by bringing innovative approaches that empower recruiters to discover and engage talent more effectively in the AI era.
• Drive sourcing enablement and recruiter efficiency by optimizing existing workflows across Ashby, Brighthire, Zapier, and other tools, and by building lightweight automations to remove friction from day-to-day recruiting.
• Build and scale recruiting automations across sourcing, interviewing, offers, and onboarding—measuring ROI and deciding when to expand or sunset.
• Design and implement enablement programs that enhance recruiter excellence, strengthen hiring manager effectiveness, and ensure adoption of new processes.
• Use data to guide decisions, tracking impact, hours saved, adoption, and overall efficiency.
• Partner with leadership on executing established TA initiatives like promotions, talent brand operations, and vendor management—always staying ahead of industry trends.
• Drive cross-functional projects from concept to launch, ensuring compliance, smooth integrations, and adoption across recruiters, sourcers, and hiring teams.
• Roll up your sleeves to ship automations directly, whether in Zapier, Ashby, ChatGPT, or other tools.
