Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of business recruiting experience in a high-growth environment
- Excellent network. You already have an established network of qualified candidates and external resources. You also have the skills to build a network quickly and comprehensively
- Uncanny ability to build trust and influence those around you
- Data-driven approach with a high sense of urgency. You always push yourself and your peers, for greater results and re-prioritize on the fly
- Ability to think outside of the box and come up with creative solutions to fill highly competitive roles
- Metrics driven mindset. You care about data integrity and use the tools available to you to improve your understanding of reporting and metrics
What the job involves
- Reporting to the Manager, Business Recruiting, you'll help our recruiting team continue to scale our business
- You'll partner with hiring leads across Operations, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Client Experience, and more to find and hire candidates all while raising our talent bar
- As a full-cycle recruiter, you'll own the hiring process from kick off meeting to sourcing through to hire. You'll be a strategic partner for hiring managers and advise on what you know best - the candidate market
- Oversee anywhere from 6 to 10 requisitions at a time. We're a fast-paced company and need a nimble recruiter who can provide great service even when working on multiple high priority roles at once
- Shape new strategies to find the highest quality candidates for the role. You'll source candidates and sell them on SeatGeek
- Report on your roles to the Recruiting Team at large and individual hiring leads. You'll surface insights from metrics and proactively identify areas for improvement
- Identify relevant recruiting projects like interview training, employer branding, or candidate experience. You'll see projects through from ideation to execution and measure success along the way
- Become a high-level subject matter expert for your roles. You won't be expected to help the marketing team get 1,000 app installs from a Facebook ad, but you do get to really understand a team and role
- Promote SeatGeek externally through employer branding efforts and networking

Its commitment to optimizing fan experience has helped distinguish the company from rivals, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, with its expanding suite of simple features that have made it the highest-rated and most trusted ticketer.
SeatGeek has secured integration partnerships with Facebook, Spotify and Snapchat, and has an impressive client list that includes the Dallas Cowboys, Manchester City FC, and the Brooklyn Nets. It continues to onboard enterprise clients, expand its international presence and release new products such as "Next Fan Up", positioning it well for future success.
