Role
Who you are
- You have at least one year of experience as a Recruiting Coordinator in a growing company. You enjoy the challenges of scheduling across multiple calendars and the nuances of providing an exceptional candidate experience. Huge plus if you’ve been a Recruiting Coordinator in a startup!
- You are exceptionally well organized. You can systematically balance numerous priorities at once. You have an eye towards efficiency and making processes better
- You balance your time well. You hold yourself accountable and follow through on your work with little supervision
- 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 by sweating the details you can provide a more human experience for everyone that interacts with WhatNot during a hiring process
- You have experience with Applicant Tracking Systems (we use Greenhouse) or CRM systems. If you’ve not used these tools, you should feel comfortable researching them and pushing buttons to see what happens
- You are resourceful. You're willing to find the answers to questions but ask for help when needed
- You are persistently helpful. You are an unstoppably helpful member of our People team, to both the hiring managers and candidates
What the job involves
- Work closely with the recruiters and hiring managers to take the lead over interview scheduling across all teams with distributed hiring teams and candidates
- Leverage tools from our applicant tracking system, Greenhouse, to automate tasks and focus on candidate experience
- Gather metrics and help prepare reporting to keep hiring teams in the loop and the recruiting team on track
- Support the recruiting team’s enablement by facilitating trainings, creating and maintaining documentation, and fielding ad hoc questions
- Develop relationships with the recruiting team to communicate important updates and proactively address issues that may arise in scheduling
- Experience with a scheduling tool, ideally Goodtime
Our take
The collectible toy market is large, and Whatnot has built a unique social platform that enables sellers to use livestreams to showcase their products and reach more buyers. The company’s focus is on collectible toys, some of which are rare and can cost thousands of dollars, and has also expanded to sports cards.
The idea of Whatnot was led by buyer trends. Instagram's live feature became a popular place for selling toys and trading cards, but of course was not set up to facilitate bidding or handling payments after a sale occurs. Whatnot combines live showcasing with follow-up sale capabilities, thus serving the community in a more novel way than established collectibles market players such as eBay.
The company has grown fast. It was established in 2019 and has already expanded from its original category - Funko Pop figurines - to Pokemon cards, pins, sports cards, and many more. There is still plenty of scope for expanding into new categories, as the company aims to establish itself as the go-to for this large niche, which will be facilitated by the strong levels of funding that Whatnot has raised.
