Company mission
Motion's mission is to solve the problem of focus and deep work through its AI-driven time management platform.
Role
Who you are
- You’re ambitious and you’re looking to prove yourself. For most people, this role will give you the most responsibilities you’ve ever had, while holding you to higher standards than other companies you’ve worked at. Expect to work your hardest and do the best work of your career at Motion. You will receive lots of coaching and feedback that you should seek to grow from
- You are a fast learner and can quickly familiarize yourself with a complex business and product. You don’t get lost in the weeds in details that don’t matter. You don’t need every edge case spelled out for you because you can figure out the goals of the project and fill in the blanks
- You are relentlessly curious in your search for extraordinary talent. Rather than simply matching candidates to a checklist of qualifications, embrace an inquisitive mindset that seeks out unique skills and experiences. For truly exceptional candidates, each person is a special case and they don't fit to a rubric
- You're obsessive about team building. You can empathize with others, know how to motivate them, fight for new opportunities for them, can gain their trust and respect, while being firm and pushing back when they’re being unreasonable
- You are quantitative and can write (simple) code. I personally believe it's extremely important to be able to speak the same language as engineers, and that you cannot truly evaluate engineering talent without the proper context. You will be given a simple coding exercise during the interview process to verify this point
- We’re looking for someone with 1-5 years of professional experience in talent acquisition or business development
- Experience in startups, consulting or finance, and/or MBA may be helpful, but we are open to considering any candidate who believes they are a good fit based on the success criteria above
What the job involves
- I’m hiring a Technical Recruiter who will work closely with me to build the engineering team at Motion
- You will lead our efforts in hiring, people operations, and setting company culture
- I’ve worked hard to ensure Motion’s team is one of the highest talent-density teams in the world, and you’ll be responsible for maintaining and even improving our culture of excellence as we grow
- As the first technical recruiter at Motion, you'll be partnering closely with the founders and Head of Engineering to learn how we think about the business, and have the opportunity to grow into a leadership role in Talent Acquisition & People Operations
Our take
Today's fast-paced digital world can make time management feel overwhelming, leading many smartphones to be filled with applications for to-do lists, calendars, and project management tools. The fragmented nature of these apps makes them time-consuming and frustrating to navigate, ultimately making them unsuitable for usage within professional workforces.
Motion provides an all-in-one AI-driven time management platform for businesses, facilitating the automation of daily task planning, task prioritization, and long-term scheduling. The AI technology also automates frustrating maintenance tasks normally associated with productivity apps such as the rescheduling of unfinished work, adding exceptions for weekends or time off, and recognizing when a user is falling behind on their schedule.
Whilst businesses have a plethora of productivity platforms at their disposal, Motion has been smart to apply AI to its software to reduce the amount of time users must spend manually using it. Through this approach, the company aims to bring the benefits of time-management platforms without their pitfalls, ultimately helping to keep workers on track and minimize missed deadlines, without requiring constant manual planning time.
