The company has grown to 100+ employees (50+ engineers) and serves over 140,000 field professionals, impacting millions of users and contributing to $10B+ in built projects.
You will lead full-cycle recruiting efforts for Trunk Tools' go-to-market and operations teams, owning hiring across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Operations, Finance, and People functions.

Key responsibilities include:

- Set recruiting standards by coaching hiring managers on best practices, building job descriptions, scorecards, and interview frameworks
- Build and maintain high-quality candidate pipelines through sourcing, referrals, outbound outreach, networking, and creative tactics
- Run fast, organized processes: coordinate interviews, maintain candidate experience, and protect process quality
- Own the ATS (Ashby): maintain data integrity, build reporting on pipeline health and funnel metrics, identify and fix bottlenecks
- Partner with Finance, People, and Leadership on headcount planning and hiring prioritization
- Run the internal referrals program and represent Trunk Tools externally at events and in candidate outreach
- Build fair, consistent, and inclusive recruiting practices
- Ensure compliance with employment regulations
- Contribute to broader People and Operations initiatives as the company scales

- Fluency with automation and AI tools for sourcing, outreach, and screening
