Role
Who you are
- Experience in sourcing, recruiting coordination, university recruiting, talent operations, or a related recruiting support role
- Strong interest in technical recruiting, early-career talent, and high-growth hiring environments
- Excellent organization and attention to detail across scheduling, candidate communication, event logistics, and pipeline management
- Ability to manage multiple priorities at once without dropping details
- Strong written communication skills, especially for candidate outreach and follow-up
- Comfort working with recruiters, hiring managers, candidates, university partners, and cross-functional stakeholders
- A high-agency mindset: you notice what needs to be done, take ownership, and follow through without needing every step defined
- Familiarity with recruiting tools, applicant tracking systems, sourcing platforms, spreadsheets, and AI tools
- Strong candidate-first instincts and a belief that speed, clarity, and care matter at every stage of the process
- Curiosity, resilience, and comfort operating in ambiguity as we continue to build and improve our recruiting processes
What the job involves
- Recruiting at Valon isn’t support. It’s the engine
- Every hire we make compounds our ability to build the AI-native operating system that will run trillion-dollar regulated industries. That means the people who identify, engage, and coordinate exceptional talent aren’t peripheral to the mission — they help create the conditions for the mission to scale
- We’re looking for a Contract Recruiter focused on sourcing and university recruiting efforts across our technical teams. In this role, you’ll help build and maintain high-quality early-career and experienced-candidate pipelines, support university recruiting programs, coordinate candidate processes with speed and care, and ensure every touchpoint reflects the rigor and ambition of Valon
- This is a contract role for someone who is operationally excellent, highly organized, and energized by the details that make recruiting systems work: clean pipelines, thoughtful outreach, tight follow-up, well-run events, and a candidate experience that feels precise, human, and high-trust
- You’ll partner closely with recruiters, hiring managers, and cross-functional teams to help Valon identify and engage top talent through sourcing campaigns, career fairs, university events, candidate coordination, and recruiting operations
- Build and maintain high-quality candidate pipelines
- Source technical talent across engineering, product, data, and early-career roles. You’ll identify strong prospects, conduct candidate research, draft personalized outreach, maintain organized pipelines, and ensure promising candidates are surfaced quickly to the recruiting team
- Support university recruiting programs
- Help execute Valon’s university recruiting strategy across target schools and early-career channels. This may include preparing for career fairs, coordinating campus events, managing candidate follow-up, tracking student pipelines, and helping ensure every university touchpoint is polished, organized, and high-impact
- Coordinate career fairs and recruiting events
- Own the details that make recruiting events successful: attendee tracking, candidate capture, resume review workflows, event materials, post-event follow-up, scheduling, and pipeline organization. You’ll help turn events into measurable recruiting outcomes, not one-off activities
- Deliver an exceptional candidate experience
- Keep candidates moving with urgency and care. You’ll coordinate interviews, manage communications, help prepare candidates for each step, and ensure no one is left waiting without context. Every interaction should feel thoughtful, timely, and high-trust
- Partner closely with recruiters and hiring teams
- Work with recruiters and hiring managers to understand role requirements, sourcing priorities, event goals, and candidate profiles. You’ll help ensure pipelines are aligned with what teams actually need and that recruiting efforts are clearly communicated
- Use tools and AI to improve recruiting execution
- Use AI and recruiting tools to increase the quality and speed of sourcing, candidate research, outreach personalization, event follow-up, pipeline tracking, and workflow automation. You should be curious, resourceful, and eager to find better ways to work
- Keep recruiting systems clean and actionable
- Maintain accurate candidate records, pipeline stages, event tracking, outreach activity, and follow-up notes. You’ll help ensure the recruiting team has the data and visibility needed to make fast, informed decisions
Our take
The mortgage servicing market is huge but surprisingly outdated. In the US alone, it covers roughly $13T in mortgages, yet many servicers still use legacy systems and manual processes to manage payments, compliance and customer support. Because mortgage servicing involves complex regulations and many exceptions, these older systems can be inefficient and costly to run, creating a strong opportunity for modern technology to improve how the industry operates.
Valon is trying to modernize this space with ValonOS, an AI-native operating system built specifically for mortgage servicing. The platform doesn't just store loan data, it also captures the rules and workflows behind servicing decisions. This allows companies to automate routine processes, improve visibility into operations, and manage compliance more easily. To prove the system works, Valon has also built and run its own large mortgage servicing business on the platform.
The company has gained strong backing from major industry players too. Investor Rithm Capital Corp. plans to roll out Valon's technology to over 4M homeowners through Newrez, one of the largest US mortgage servicers. If this rollout succeed, it could demonstrate that modern, AI-driven systems can operate at industry scale and potentially reshape mortgage servicing.
