Business Recruiter, Trunk Tools

• You’re intrinsically motivated. You care deeply about quality and take pride in your craft
• You take ownership. You don’t wait for permission to fix problems or move things forward
• You’re a sharp communicator. Candidates trust you, and hiring managers want you in the room
• 4+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup
• Experience hiring across go-to-market and business teams
• Proven success sourcing, closing, and managing multiple searches at once
• Strong judgment and intuition around talent and team dynamics
• Clear, thoughtful communication and process instincts
• Comfortable in a hybrid or in-office startup culture (we’re NYC-based)
