Key Responsibilities Drive volume and quality: Own full-cycle recruitment across the US - from intake call to signed offer - across all functions (Sales, Ops, Tech, and beyond). You flex across time zones and candidate availability without losing velocity. • Source proactively: Don't just post and pray. Hunt for exceptional talent through LinkedIn Recruiter, job boards, networking events, universities, and unconventional channels - building a strong, diverse pipeline well ahead of business needs. • Partner with hiring managers: Act as a strategic advisor, not just an executor. Help hiring managers define role requirements, share market insights, coach interviewers, and align faster - so every hire is a great one. • Optimize recruiting operations: Design and iterate on efficient, data-driven processes. Track key metrics (time-to-hire, funnel conversion, quality of hire) and use them to continuously raise the bar. • Champion the candidate experience: Ensure every candidate - hired or not - leaves with a positive, lasting impression of sunday. Timely communication, transparency, and a personal touch at every stage of the process. • Build our employer brand in the US: Represent sunday at career fairs, industry events, and through social media and employer branding initiatives that make us the company top US talent wants to join. • Scale the recruiting function: Document processes, coach interviewers, and lay the groundwork for a recruiting team that grows with the business. You're building this, not just running it. About You Must-haves: • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in fast-growing startups or scale-ups - you've operated in ambiguity, hired at speed, and never compromised on quality. • A proven track record of building and owning recruiting processes from scratch: pipelines, tools, reporting, and the trust of your hiring managers. • Entrepreneurial mindset: you move without being asked, make decisions with incomplete information, and thrive with autonomy. • Strong sourcing skills well beyond job boards - you know how to reach passive talent and build relationships before you need them. • Excellent communication and storytelling skills: you can pitch our mission to candidates, navigate tough conversations, and align stakeholders across teams. • Based in or willing to relocate to New York, with the right to work in the US (we do not sponsor visas). Nice-to-haves: • Experience recruiting across multiple US markets (New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles) and/or internationally (France, UK). • Hands-on experience with ATS platforms (Screenloop, Greenhouse, Lever, or similar) and recruitment analytics dashboards. • Background in hospitality tech, fintech, or SaaS startups. • Experience coaching hiring managers on structured, unbiased interviewing. The sunday DNA: • You bring energy - the contagious kind that lifts teams and drives momentum. • You think like an owner: outcomes over tasks, accountability over excuses. • You're resilient and persistent - recruiting is a contact sport and you love the challenge. • You apply 80/20 thinking and make sharp trade-offs when it matters. • You're humble, self-aware, and relentlessly curious about getting better. What we Offer • Competitive salary ($110K–$130K) and stock options - we want you invested in our success. • Free Vacation Policy - unlimited PTO, because we trust you to recharge when you need to. • 100% Employer-Covered Health Insurance for you and your children. • 401K Plan - we're in it for the long haul, and so are you. • A great office in the heart of New York or Atlanta, with a healthy in-person/remote balance. • Real ownership and broad scope from day one - this is not a seat-filler role. 🐾 Steps in our Recruitment Process Share your story: application with resume Let's get to know each other through a screening interview Impress your future colleagues with a case study 2 behavioral interviews with a People Partner and a Leader Culture Fit with our US CEO + Cofounder Reference Checks (3 most recent managers) Offer: we want you Thank you for taking the time to apply, and looking forward to getting to know you! sunday is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color, sex, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, gender, ethnicity, religion, national origin, ancestry, nationality, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, genetic information, or on any other basis prohibited by law (except where an attribute is a bona fide occupational qualification).
