Who You Are We’re looking for a Senior Business Recruiter to join our team and support our G&A functions. You’ll be responsible for sourcing, attracting, and hiring top talent to support our rapidly growing business functions. If you love building scalable hiring processes, have the experience to avoid pitfalls of hyper growth, and don’t mind getting your hands dirty, this is your next play.
This role is based at the Company’s headquarters in Redwood Shores, CA and requires you to be onsite 3x/week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). We will only consider candidates already based in the Bay Area.
What You’ll Do
Own the toughest roles. You’ll recruit and close any and all business positions across the business, from Finance to IT to Legal and everything in between. You’re comfortable hiring for different roles, levels, and teams.
Focus on Talent Density. We focus on quality over quantity. We attract and select senior technical talent who possess both the skills and potential to thrive in a high‑performance environment.
Build scalable processes. Help us create recruiting workflows that are consistent, efficient, and easy for everyone to follow – from the first intake meeting to the final offer.
Use data to guide decisions. Keep tabs on funnel metrics and hiring efficiency. Share those insights with the team to keep us improving.
Collaborate with leadership. Work closely with company leaders to align recruiting efforts with business needs and growth goals.
What You Bring To Zūm
Recruiting chops. You’ve recruited for senior, mid‑level, and niche roles within the business functions. You have a strong POV and experience with leveraging recruiting tools (including AI recruiting tools) to help drive efficiency and effectiveness.
Startup mentality. You move fast, adapt easily, and don’t need a lot of hand‑holding.
Pace and urgency. You work with pace and urgency and look to match the availability of both the business and the candidates.
Great communicator. You’re comfortable working with everyone, from candidates to executives.
Deep experience. 6‑10 years of experience as a technical recruiter.
Mission driven. You don’t need experience in transportation, but you should be excited about what we’re building at Zūm.
Targeted base salary range: $150,000 – $190,000. Benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k), Holidays, Wellness, Vacation, and more.
