Founding Recruiting Operations Lead
About the role
We are looking for a Founding Recruiting Operations Lead with 3-6 years of experience to build and own the entire recruiting operations function from the ground up at a fast-scaling healthcare AI company. You'll be the first hire for this function, architecting systems that enable a team growing from 15 to 250+ people in under two years.
What will you be doing?
-
Own and optimize Ashby end-to-end: pipelines, scorecards, workflows, automations, and integrations across the recruiting tech stack
-
Build AI-powered tooling and automations to make recruiters faster—automated outreach, AI-assisted screening, and intelligent pipeline triage
-
Design and automate recruiting analytics dashboards for real-time visibility into pipeline health, funnel metrics, and time-to-hire
-
Create enablement materials, playbooks, and training to onboard recruiters and hiring managers on systems and processes
-
Launch and scale the recruiting coordination function—hire, manage, and set service levels for a growing team
Key Requirements
-
3-6 years in recruiting operations or talent operations, ideally at a high-growth startup
-
Deep Ashby expertise—advanced workflow configuration, custom reporting, API/webhook integrations, and admin-level fluency
-
Hands-on experience building AI or automation tooling in a recruiting context (no-code platforms, prompt engineering, or scripting)
-
Strong analytical skills with SQL or spreadsheet-level data fluency; comfortable building dashboards and automated reports
-
Builder mentality with an ownership mindset—you identify problems, scope fixes, and ship without waiting to be asked
