Role
Who you are
- In the spirit of our Default to Transparency value, we’re going to be extremely picky about who we hire for this role. While we hope that each of these bullet points describes you, we also recognize you can gain these experiences in a variety of ways. We care less about the titles you’ve had and more about what you’ve accomplished in your roles when hiring for your teams. Outcomes will matter, but so will your understanding of how you achieved them
- You have at least 5 years of experience in full-cycle recruiting for technical roles at a software or technology company. You have experience evaluating candidates for a variety of technical and product roles. You enjoy the challenge of finding exceptional talent for hard-to-fill Applied AI, Software Engineering, Data, and Site Reliability roles. You’re savvy at vetting technical talent to attain a high pass through rates through hiring manager screens
- You have a high degree of AI fluency. You’re using AI in your work, you know where human intervention is still needed, and you see the opportunities that lie ahead as the tech advances. Big plus if you’re familiar with Zapier. Expect us to use AI in our process
- You're a trusted partner in talent. You are an advocate for creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to drive the best decisions with your hiring managers. You advise interview teams on the best approach to fill their positions and create/manage a process that delights candidates and empowers hiring decisions
- You are data-driven. You track pipeline health to balance your priorities and set hiring manager expectations. You know what the data tells you and how to adjust your search to meet time to hire and time to fill KPIs
- You are resourceful and comfortable with ambiguity and change. You know how to research questions, talent, and companies to find the answers and great people to recruit. You also know how to find information on your own and when to ask questions for more. You can pivot quickly when needed, and can still be effective when not all the answers are known
- You are a champion for diversity hiring & inclusive interview practices. At Zapier, we think that hiring and fostering a diverse team is just the right thing to do. A successful recruiter will actively work to reduce bias in sourcing, screening, and interviews
- You're comfortable driving and managing up. You prefer to own your work streams and enjoy working in autonomy to progress towards your goals, but not in a vacuum. You know where to maximize your time to achieve the best outcomes for your open roles, and how to keep your manager well informed in an asynchronous, remote work environment
- You provide an incredible candidate experience. You sweat the small stuff but keep the big picture in mind. You know that a job search is a challenging task and prioritize providing a more human experience for everyone that interacts with Zapier during a hiring process
- You are persistently helpful. No matter if it's pitching in on outreach or screening of applicants, scheduling, or covering for someone on PTO, you are an unstoppably helpful member for our recruiting team, hiring managers and candidates
What the job involves
- Zapier is a fast-paced, remote-first company. No two weeks will look exactly the same, but you’ll regularly:
- Manage full cycle recruitment processes from sourcing to candidate engagement to closing top candidates. You'll experiment by yourself, with the team, or by working in tandem with hiring managers to maximize outcomes
- Find or create new sources of talent. LinkedIn might be a great tool, but you'll always look for new and unique ways to source talented folks
- Meet or exceed our high standards for candidate experience, facilitating a best-in-class, inclusive, and inspiring hiring process for candidates from all backgrounds
- Manage 5-10 requisitions at any given time (sometimes more), and consistently make 3+ hires/month
- Consistently leverage data and a wide range of technology including AI and automation tools to drive improvement in our hiring processes
- Contribute to the Talent Acquisition team's AI transformation internally by experimenting, piloting, and innovating new workflows and solutions for our stakeholders
- Meet or exceed our KPIs for time to hire, time to fill, and candidate NPS
- Travel of 5% - 10% for company summits which rotate to various cities, primarily throughout North America
Application process
- Deadline to Apply: February 18, 2026 at 8:00 AM UTC
- How to Apply:
- At Zapier, we believe that diverse perspectives and experiences make us better, which is why we have a non-standard application process designed to promote inclusion and equity
- We're looking for the best fit for each of our roles, regardless of the type of companies in your background, so we encourage you to apply even if your skills and experiences don’t exactly match the job description
- All we ask is that you answer a few in-depth questions in our application that would typically be asked at the start of an interview process
- This helps speed things up by letting us get to know you and your skillset a bit better right out of the gate
- Please be sure to answer each question; the resume and CV fields are optional
- Education is not a requirement for our roles; however, if you receive an offer, you will need to include your most recent educational experience as part of our background check process
- After you apply, you are going to hear back from us—even if we don’t see an immediate fit with our team
- In fact, throughout the process, we strive to never go more than seven days without letting you know the status of your application
- We know we’ll make mistakes from time to time, so if you ever have questions about where you stand or about the process, just ask your recruiter!
Our take
Even before remote working became the "in thing", freelancers, small business owners, and large organisations have found themselves needing more and more software platforms to serve their operational needs. As people used more software services, Zapier founders saw the need to connect the actions between these software and save everyone some time.
Zapier is the largest integration and automation tool for businesses. Since its founding, Zapier has grown its suite of automation offerings across almost every mainstream software service. The company is one of the most successful to come out of Y Combinator and has also been a pioneer of remote working.
Zapier has so far been able to capitalise heavily on its advantage as one of the first entrants and has had very little actual competition. Software services aren't going anywhere anytime soon, and organisations are only going to need more of them. This puts Zapier in a strong position for growth, but also opens up room for bolder companies to get in on the action. Companies like Airtable and Integromat are already preying on more niche segments of Zapier's market share.

Additional info
- As a fully remote company with 800+ team members across 40+ states, 38 countries, and 18+ timezones, we’ve adopted a culture of asynchronous work. This work style allows teams to collaborate effectively across locations, time zones, skills, and each individual’s energy levels, and empowers employees to work in a setting that fits their needs. In practice, we live on Slack, with most conversations in public channels. It mimics the open-office feel and allows everyone to search the chat logs if they need to find something that happened when they weren’t around
