3d • Remote

About The Position

Oyster is building a global employment platform that lets companies hire, pay, and care for brilliant people anywhere. Ranked among top companies and recognized as a G2 Leader, Oyster is the only B Corp-certified global employment platform. This role is for a Senior Global Recruiter on a 12-month fixed-term contract to help Oyster hire senior talent for its next stage of growth. The recruiter will manage a global remit, owning full-cycle recruitment from initial contact to offer, and will partner with senior leaders to define role requirements and hiring strategies. The position involves building systems and automations to support recruitment operations in a remote-first environment, utilizing AI and automation to enhance efficiency.

Requirements

• Significant experience recruiting experienced and senior hires either as an in-house or embedded senior recruiter
• Depth in G&A hiring, specifically Operations (our biggest need), Finance and Legal & Compliance - BIG PLUS if you have experience hiring senior Product roles too.
• Multi-region recruiting experience, with real understanding of how markets differ, including comp norms, notice periods, candidate expectations across EMEA and the Americas
• Full recruiting cycle autonomy. You've owned searches end to end, without a sourcer or coordinator by your side. Excellent organization and time management across multiple time zones and searches is a must
• Hands-on ATS ownership. You've run your own pipeline management, reporting and data hygiene in Ashby — or an equivalent ATS — and you use what's in it to spot a stalling search before your hiring manager does.
• Senior stakeholder credibility. You can advise, challenge and influence directors and VPs, and hold your position when it matters
• Strong stakeholder management skills and talent-partnering capability with senior leaders
• Real, current use of AI or automation in your own workflow. Credible examples of using AI or automation to improve recruiting workflows or productivity is essential.
• A high bar on candidate experience, and the judgment to hold quality when everyone wants speed.
• Demonstrated accountability in a remote-first environment.
• Excellent written and async communication. Most of our work happens asynchronously across time zones. Clear, concise communication is a must.
• A reliable home internet connection, and fluency in written and spoken English.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building Ashby agents
• Global Product hiring experience
• APAC market experience
• Sourcing approaches that go beyond inbound and referrals — communities, mapping, unconventional channels
• Experience transitioning from agency or RPO to in-house recruiter

Responsibilities

• Own full-cycle recruitment for experienced-hire searches across Product, Operations, Finance & Accounting, Legal & Compliance and customer-facing teams — sourcing, assessment, offer, close
• Partner with hiring managers as an advisor: scope and calibrate roles, set the assessment approach, and push back with evidence when the brief and the market don’t match. Understand feedback, iterate on the role requirements, and evolve your sourcing and hiring strategy as needed.
• Hire genuinely global talent across EMEA, LATAM and North America — adapting strategy and process to each market rather than exporting one playbook everywhere
• Build pipelines that don’t rely on inbound: market mapping, direct outreach, community and referral routes, talent pooling for repeat needs
• Own candidate experience end to end: clear communication, honest feedback, a process people speak well of whether or not they get the job. Educate and engage candidates about the company's mission and journey in a compelling way
• Run your own recruiting operations in Ashby without sourcing or coordinator support, and keep the data clean enough to be worth reporting on
• Use AI and automation to change how the work gets done: sourcing and research, outreach, interview intelligence, ATS agents and workflows, reporting. Then share it, so the whole team gets the benefit

Benefits

• 40 days off per year (including holidays and vacation), or more if required by your country.
• Access to Plumm, our mental well-being service.
• Wellbeing allowance each month in your ThanksBen wallet.
• Flexible parental leave: All new parents are eligible for at least three months’ paid leave, with job protection for up to 12 months or as required locally.
• Stipend for your laptop and home office equipment.
