About Slope

Slope is bringing the B2B economy online with a category-defining modern payments platform. Powered by our clean data infrastructure, we are building one platform to seamlessly automate B2B payment workflows.

About the role

Join us to build out our in-house recruiting function from scratch. We are at the forefront of digitizing the B2B economy,  and in this role you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring we assemble a world class team to execute against this mission. We approach recruiting as a product, and “slope” – constantly iterating – is the most important thing. You’ll be able to build and evolve our end-to-end hiring framework and work closely with our founders on a day-to-day basis. We expect a collaborative approach with teams across the organization. We’re looking for a self-starter, who is an expert problem solver, clear and empathetic communicator, quick learner and operator, and has demonstrated success dealing with uncertainty.

Why work with us?

  • You will get the chance to be an early team member at a fast-growth Y-Combinator-backed startup. We truly believe that it’s about slope — not where you start but how fast we and you are growing and iterating

  • We are growing insanely fast and are well-funded. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join our rocketship and build from the ground up. From a recruiting standpoint this means your scope will be broad from the get-go, as we’re currently hiring across 10+ roles

  • We’re a tight-knit, intense team, from which you'll learn a ton and have ownership

  • Work with seasoned second-time founders and operators 

💎 Responsibilities

  • Develop a strong understanding of the Slope product suite and value proposition in order to represent the Slope brand in front of candidates

  • Manage our talent brand and public presence as an employer 

  • Be the primary point of contact for all candidates from first email to close and help iterate towards a tight-knit, world class candidate experience 

  • Own, build out, and organize our candidate ATS

  • Train interviewers and build a culture of recruiting excellence

  • “Be the “glue” between Slope’s teams and candidates, managing the full-cycle recruiting process from sourcing to coordinating. Ensure teams are aligned on what they are looking for in each role, and help bring the right candidates for each role”

📈 Requirements

  • 4+ years of recruiting experience preferably at a fast-growth startup or agency focused on startup recruiting

  • A love of being in front of and continuously learning from candidates

  • Have sourced a wide range of roles, both technical and non-technical 

  • Highly organized and able to prioritize shifting workloads and responsibilities effectively. We are growing fast, with new roles/needs being created quickly, with candidates coming from all types of company and personal channels, so your role would be key in keeping us coordinated

  • Ability to hunt for the best talent, and find them no matter what, whether it means going to Github projects and finding the top contributors, finding second-degree connections to people on LinkedIn, push the team for internal referrals, and convince great people who might not be actively looking for opportunities

  • Top communication skills - able to professionally interact with candidates 

  • Grit - we’re growing very quickly and as first recruiting hire you’ll have to pound the pavement and do what it takes to get it done. 

  • Entrepreneurial - be scrappy, resourceful,  autonomous, low maintenance. We have no processes in place 

  • Excellent communication skills, prioritization and the ability to navigate competing demands 

  • Strong team player and ability to succeed in fast-paced, rapidly changing environment, while maintaining high levels of operational rigor, problem solving, business acumen, and positive attitude

  • Enthusiastic team player with a strong work ethic. No job is too big or too small

🚀 Bonus points 

  • Background working at a payments/lending fintech startup
