About The Position

Indeed Flex is a tech-first staffing platform that empowers workers to choose their own shifts and businesses to hire with a click. We are removing the friction from the traditional agency model, emphasizing speed, transparency, and choice. Operating with the agility of a high-growth scale-up, we are backed by Indeed, the world's #1 job site. This unique position allows us to innovate rapidly while leveraging significant resources. As a Senior Recruiter, you will be responsible for developing and executing strategies to attract, assess, and onboard high-quality Flexers across U.S. markets. This role extends beyond traditional recruitment, requiring you to act as a consultative partner to internal stakeholders. You will utilize market insights, recruitment data, AI interviews, and modern recruiting technology to build reliable worker pipelines for high-volume operational needs. Your role will involve diagnosing hiring challenges related to candidate volume, market conditions, pay, scheduling, onboarding friction, role requirements, client expectations, or worker experience. Based on this judgment, you will recommend appropriate recruitment approaches, enhance candidate conversion, and maintain quality as the business scales. This position demands autonomy, strong operational judgment, inclusive candidate communication, and confidence in using AI-enabled recruiting workflows. You will contribute to refining AI interview processes, improving screening criteria, and ensuring automation supports, rather than replaces, human judgment in hiring decisions.
