About The Position

LENS's mission is to end traffic accidents by detecting hazards to prevent them before they happen. The LENS Detect platform scans CCTV feeds on highways to identify hazards in real-time, alerting public safety agencies and Departments of Transportation about issues like Disabled Vehicles, Stalled Big Rigs, and Pedestrians on Freeway. Dispatchers validate these alerts and dispatch officers to assist, thereby preventing accidents or saving lives. The role of the Recruiter at LENS is to build the team that will achieve this mission, sourcing candidates who are passionate about the mission, align with the company's principles, and contribute positively to its culture. The recruiter will own and manage the candidate journey, partner with teams to develop job descriptions and interview processes, and advance the recruiting strategy and operational success to build a scalable recruiting function.
