Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of technical recruiting experience at high growth companies. You know how to compete for elite talent without the benefit of brand / top of market compensation because you've done it successfully before. Strong preference for candidates who have previously been a founding/sole recruiter, or part of a small team at a fast-growing tech company
- Strategic thinker and tactical doer: Able to design long-term talent strategies while also rolling up your sleeves to source, engage, and close candidates directly
- Bias toward execution and speed
- AI-first mindset. You believe AI is a transformative technology that will have impact society on a broad scale. You live at the cutting edge of the latest tooling and know how incorporate AI into your personal workflows
- Mission-oriented. You'd rather have a challenging adventure that pushes you to grow and positively impacts the world than "rest and vest."
- You align closely with our Core Values
What the job involves
- GovWell is hiring our first recruiting/talent hire to help scale our NYC-based team from 30 to 100+ in the next 2 years. This role reports directly to CEO and Co-Founder Troy LeCaire, and has the potential to grow into a Head of Talent
- We have a hybrid work culture that combines regular in-person collaboration at our New York City office (3+ days per week) with flexibility to work remotely
- Own sourcing. Generate a consistent flow of quality candidates for open roles through any means necessary, including personal outreach, managing recruiting agencies, hiring contract sourcers, job postings, and social media
- Own selection. Own and autonomously iterate on processes for candidate selection, including resume review, interviews, and onsites
- Own recruiting operations. Manage the end-to-end candidate experience, ensuring smooth scheduling of interviews, seamless communication with candidates, and a positive experience for candidates from initial outreach to onsite interviews
- Own talent brand. Ensure GovWell’s brand has a consistent narrative and visible presence to candidates, including through our online presence, including the website, job sites, and social media
Our take
Govwell creates software for planning and zoning within local governments, simplifying processes and modernising citizen services. With the intention of improving transparency, it is helping all sizes of government serve its communities better.
What stands out about GovWell’s workflow and automation technology is the fact that its platform is customisable. Government sectors, councils and organisations operate their tech in varying ways, and so GovWell serves these varying needs by allowing flexibility of use within its platform. This is facilitated by no-code tools to improve adaptability.
Ultimately, the platform helps local governments complete tasks in a fraction of the time. It’s a breath of fresh air in the sector, which isn’t known for its innovations, and GovWell has been smart to target this niche. It will channel recent funding into expanding its team, enhancing product development and accelerating growth.
