About The Position

We’re looking for a Recruiter & People Operations to help us build and support the team as favorited grows. This role will split time between recruiting and people operations, giving you the opportunity to both bring exceptional talent into the company and create the systems and experiences that help our employees thrive. You’ll partner closely with hiring managers and leadership across the organization to understand hiring needs, source and close great candidates, and help build a strong recruiting process. At the same time, you’ll own day-to-day people operations and help establish the processes, programs, and infrastructure needed to support a growing startup. This is a hands-on role for someone who is highly organized, resourceful, people-oriented, and comfortable operating without a lot of existing structure.

Requirements

3 - 8 years of experience in recruiting, people operations, HR, or a combination of these functions.
Experience recruiting for consumer-focused technology companies, ideally startups.
Strong recruiting experience across technical and/or product-oriented roles.
Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and keep processes moving in a fast-paced environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to build trust with candidates, employees, and leadership.
Highly proactive and comfortable taking ownership of problems without waiting for direction.
Ability to operate with discretion and sound judgment when handling confidential employee and candidate information.
Experience building or improving people processes in an environment where systems and infrastructure are still evolving.
Passion for gaming, consumer products, social media, or livestreaming and an understanding of the communities that surround them.
