Company mission
To remove the hassle, stress, and frustration from buying a home.
Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of recruiting management experience (start-up/in-house leadership experience is a must) with 5+ years as an IC Sr. Recruiter prior to that
- You still love and expect to own roles for specialized/leadership roles
- A trusted advisor to C-level executives and senior leadership to help thoughtfully organize, design and execute a hiring strategy or new talent initiative for the team
- You make decisions in an analytic and thoughtful way and use data (without being paralyzed by it) whenever possible
- Passion for developing recruiting team and providing coaching to all leaders to build the best recruiting capabilities for all Tomo interviewers
- A strong culture carrier who has had a tradition of winning and success in their career
- You have a natural sense of urgency and speed - why do something in a week when it can be done in an hour - this is a real and important cultural value
- A leader who is experienced in strategy development and unafraid to iterate to a TA roadmap and foundation as needs change often in startups
What the job involves
- To further this important mission, we are looking for a Head of TA based in our NYC office, who will oversee and grow our Recruiting team and function.
- This person must be a builder who thrives in a high-growth, ambiguous/fast-changing environment— who is both experienced and unafraid to try new things, knows how to build a foundation that scales and understands how to do all this while executing on our current hiring plan and iterating on our processes to deliver for today while building for tomorrow
- Work closely with our Founder and Executive team to drive vision and growth plan via leading key people, process, and tech investments
- Manage a small/growing Recruiting team and add critical hires while enabling the tech capabilities/foundation of the team to help make them most successful
- Set the pace and energy to execute an ambitious hiring plan – you’ll introduce the processes, implement efficient hiring practices, lean into data analytics, develop and grow the current team while driving hiring goals that set the standard for a very high talent bar
- Serve as a data driven talent advisor to the leadership team with a strong ability to drive recruiting initiatives that match the pace of an expanding organization
- Build a strong operational foundation for the Recruiting function that includes the right systems that will drive meaningful recruiting analytics and insights. This will, in turn, help you and the team advise leadership on trustworthy forecasting, capacity planning and delivery expectations
- Bring up-to-date/competitive insights into guiding the leadership team on key investments and the right strategy to attract the best talent and how to stay differentiated from the competition
- Coach and develop direct reports and model best practices throughout all aspects of the recruiting process
- Help build a “Recruiting Culture and Engine” at Tomo by way of example as culture carrier
- Develop the “employer” brand through creative social, content and event programs
- Ability to build a world-class structured interviewer training and process with the right infrastructure and employee engagement to help it scale and be differentiated
Our take
Tomo is a fintech startup looking to revolutionize the real estate industry, which has been lagging behind other crucial modern sectors in terms of leveraging the potential of new technological developments. Tomo’s ambition is strong, and whilst it's keeping its horizons broad, the company is starting with a mortgage and transaction platform aimed at making the transaction process smoother for both estate agents and consumers.
The founding members of Tomo are both former executives at the real estate database giant Zillow, and their impressive seed funding includes backing from Trulia co-founder Pete Flint and Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff. This level of confidence and experience puts the company in good stead within the increasingly competitive real estate tech industry. What's more, Tomo is smart to place equal emphasis on the buyer as well as the seller - this distinguishes its platform from more seller-centric offerings like Zillow Offer and OpenDoor.
With impressive seed funding and investor confidence, coupled with experienced leadership and a potentially massive market, Tomo is well-positioned to deliver on its ambitious promise.
