Ashby Hiring for Sourcer at California Full Time

Hi I’m Jim! I’m the VP of People and Talent at Ashby. I’ve been at Ashby for just over three months and I need some help!

This role will close on August 7th at ~8am ET

The interest in our product is driving amazing growth and, as a People Team, we need to expand our capacity to hire. Since I’ve joined, our hiring managers have been doing most of the recruiting on their own, with some help from me, and we’ve come to realize that certain roles in our roadmap will need deeper research, sourcing and outreach, than I have the capacity to offer.

The job I do at Ashby is my dream job and I hope being a Sourcer here is yours! Not only will you get to help build the people side of the business but you’ll also get to become an expert user on the product we build and become a thought leader in how to use it. You’ll get to make a lasting contribution to the whole recruiting community as we drive improvements across the talent tech space.

Joining us means being part of a talented team, tackling the challenges of our stage, and contributing to our team and product growth. We value humility, continuous improvement and a dedication to excellence (more here). If you are passionate about bringing your unique strengths to the team and building a culture of success, we would love to hear from you.

The Role

Ashby is seeking a Recruitment Sourcer with a proven track record of discovering and hiring amazing talent in the tech industry. In this role, you will own the end-to-end development and execution of passive sourcing strategies to find exceptional talent to fill critical roles.
Success in this role over the next six months will involve researching, mapping and contacting enough qualified pipeline to meet our company’s hiring needs for target, specialist positions across the business. It will also require building and collating phenomenal talent pools to create a strong infrastructure for future growth.

You will achieve this by:

• Researching, finding and engaging top talent for open active roles

• Mapping and collating top talent for future profiles to be hired

• Discovering and quantifying new talent pools and sourcing channels

• Engaging with departmental leaders and hiring managers to qualify requirements expertly

• Focusing on quality and alignment at the optimal volume to meet goals

As you are probably ascertaining from the above – we are looking for a person that gains energy from both strategizing on creative ways to accelerate our hiring as well as getting their hands dirty doing the finding and engagement of candidates.

To be qualified for this role, you must have the following:

• Proven track record as an expert talent sourcer

• Experience working across a variety of roles to be hired, from technical to “go to market” requirements, and from executive to niche positions, you’ll be able to show examples of a broad range of expertise

• Data-driven mindset, able to optimize your workflows, balance diversity, quality and volume as well as short and long term outcomes to your work

• Demonstrated experience in creating innovative sourcing strategies that differentiate the talent pipelines from the inbound attraction and referrals that we have traditionally used

If you need someone else to do any of the following, then this role is probably not for you:

• Boolean search and talent mapping activities

• Requisition qualification with senior leaders

• High volumes of outreach and screening calls

• Prioritization of your workload

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity.

• 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.

• Unlimited PTO with four weeks recommended per year. Expect “Vacation?” in our one-on-one agenda until you start taking it .

• Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.

• Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!

• $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.

• If you’re in the US, top-notch health insurance for you and your dependents with all premiums covered by us.

Ashby’s success hinges on hiring great people and creating an environment where we can be happy, feel challenged, and do our best work. We’re being deliberate about building that environment from the ground up. I hope that excites you enough to apply.

Interview Process

At Ashby, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. We’ll dive into past projects and simulate working together via talking through past projects and conducting a short but realistic assignment. Our interview process is 4 rounds with some casual Zoom (or in-person) coffee in between to get to know each other:

• 30-minute introduction call to discuss Ashby and your past work with Jim. I’m both the recruiter and hiring manager for the role so expect a traditional recruiting screen

• A take-home assignment that will ask you to create a sourcing strategy for a role as well as an example of a tailored outreach to a specific candidate we will provide you.

• A deeper dive into your Sourcing experience with Jim that will follow on from your assignment submission

• 2 hours – (broken into 4x 30 mins – 2 before the assignment and 2 after the assignment) with our co-founder/CEO Benji, Sales leaders Lilly or Mike, members from our leadership team Harriet, Kelsey or Kevin, and a joint interview with a our co-founder and VP of Engineering Abhik or Colin, and Jim.

Your hiring manager (Jim) will be your main point of contact and prepare you for interviews.
